Republican Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump says he will deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants if elected President in 2016.

His immigration proposal has been deemed impractical, unconstitutional, and simply outrageous by both sides of the political spectrum. For example, both President Barack Obama and rival Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson have criticized the plan.

Now the biggest names in Silicon Valley have spoken up against the notion of deporting millions of immigrants -- including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, along with dozens of founders and executives from a vast array of some of the biggest technology companies in America -- in a new campaign called "11 Million Stories."

Late last week, the first of the "11 Million Stories" campaign's six-part video series was released by FWD.us, the political advocacy group of those Silicon Valley titans.

The video hits Trump hard for his championing mass deportation, along with denouncing former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum for his support for it. It opens with footage of Trump talking about "rounding them up in a very humane way, in a very nice way," Santorum speaking on "moving forward with their removal," and Trump promising to "have a deportation force."

The video then plays out just what deporting 11.3 million people from the country would do to America.


FWD.us pulls no punches in depicting what it would take to implement such a plan: a cost of over $600 billion dollars, destroying millions of families, and creating a police state.

The video then dramatically depicts fictional accounts of what happened from a post-mass deportation point of view:

A UCLA student living in the U.S. for 14 years, deported; A nurse whose patient was taken by the deportation force, which later came for her ("I wasn't safe for long. The deportation force found me"); A Hispanic farm worker saying, "they busted into people's houses. They took the kids and raided the farms. They took away more than half of the farm workers... you can't imagine what miles and miles of rotting food smells like."

Each account ends with the refrain, "You deported me," emphasizing the cost and responsibility that comes from not being politically involved when the stakes are this high.

The video also points out that the call to deport children born in the U.S. directly, pejoratively called "anchor babies" by Trump and even Jeb Bush, directly contravenes the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The FWD.us campaign is recruiting people to sign a pledge to be an "ImmigrationVoter" and push for immigration reform, not mass deportation, as a top priority in the upcoming election.

According to Re/Code, FWD.us plans to expand its operations in battleground states this election cycle, seeking to reframe the debate through videos, testimonials, and policy papers critically exploring the personal and public toll that the extreme right's immigration proposals would take if actually enacted.

"We want to make clear to people what the stakes are, and that we are strongly against the astronomical costs that come with mass deportation," said FWD.us Chief Executive Todd Schulte to Re/Code.
