thank you for your informative post.
Many of these people have set up households, children in school, etc.
However, the main reason it is difficult to deport millions, it took 20 years plus for them to get here, by the hundreds and thousands per year.
the American public will NOT go for Mass Deportations that the mass media will show. It will look awful and will have to be enforced with physical removal by police , our National Guard or our military. They will not just hop on busses...there will be demonstrations and protests and THOSE people will have to be dealt with by police and our military.
IF Americans still can’t demand a border fence up and get THAT accomplished, what makes you think there would be mass support for mass deportations across the country. Think about it, there is not enough outrage and insistance yet to even demand enforcement of the laws we NOW have. There is no huge and voluminous outcry to deport the illegals en masse.
I do like the idea of paying them to leave,much cheaper than keeping them here.
All of this deporting illegals is a mute point with no border fence...
President Davis, of the Confederacy, would have had them shot.
In the end all these people would be sent back to their perfectly tolerable homes. Living in Mexico is not punishment.
Every day the US fails to enforce immigration laws. Stop thinking of MASS DEPORTATION. What do think happens to drunk w/out papers? Or...the same 12 person family who visit the ER for cold medicine? Or community ESL classes, food stamps, voting...etc. Start tomorrow and the enforcement of 20+ millions will take some time.
