In a perfect world, it might be reasonable to say that everyone here illegally should be deported. Law breaking, obviously, cannot be ignored. But if that were possible at all - which is very dubious - the cost would run far into the billions.

This argument has been refuted many times. If we stopped allowing illegal aliens access to government assistance in all forms we could easily pay for the deportation of these people.

If you stopped welfare and other benefits, they would not come and more would leave. A fence wouldn’t be necessary.
