Men and boys make up 54% of the illegal immigrant population. https://cmsny.org/undocumented-women-032322/
Men and boys are the targets of 93% of deportations. https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/350/
Men and boys are thus overrepresented in deportations by 39 percentage points. That's a MASSIVE inequality!
There is no view of immigration that justifies this gender disparity. Whether you feel that illegal immigration is taking low wage jobs from citizens or whether you feel that illegal immigration boosts consumer spending, has net positive tax revenues, and replenishes an otherwise shrinking youth population. Neither side of the immigration debate has a valid excuse for selectively allowing illegal immigrants to stay based on gender. The gender gap in deportation is immoral and should be included in any debate about immigration policy.
Depending on your views, either we start deporting fewer men, or we start deporting more women. Either way, deportations should match the illegal immigrant population.
