What would deporting 11 million people look like?

WASHINGTON – Conservative presidential candidates speak casually of deporting 11 million people, but what they don’t say is what it would cost, what it would take and the long odds of success.

Some researchers who have considered such a possibility envision the expansion of federal fugitive operations teams that would fan out through rural areas arresting immigrant workers picking strawberries. Poultry plants would be raided and teachers and doctors could be tasked with reporting those who seek services. The costs: as high as $300 billion....

Liberals are delusional. If we started deporting illegals some would simply leave on their own.

Many of us feel that since its been 11 million they say for the past 15 years its BS, its got to be at least double that.

Say 22 million, we know every year Obama has been president the influx of Illegals have gone up.

But the real situation is that if you deport the criminals first, and get the employers to be fined if they are giving jobs to illegal, they will fire them.

If there is leadership in government and they cut off benefits the illegals will fell pressure.

If we then start rounding up and deporting the first million the next 10 million will panic and the roads to all the Mexican crossings will be jammed with exiting illegals.

Build the wall and the rest of them will be told its jail or leave before the wall is completed and most of them will go away.

“One thing the two views have in common is a growing consensus that Trump’s actions may be doing more harm than good for the effort to reduce the number of people here illegally.

With his remarks, other Republican candidates are less able to avoid the controversial issue seen as politically toxic for those trying to present a moderate agenda. But even Krikorian compared Trump to the guy at the end of the bar espousing opinions about immigration not steeped in reality.

“Trump means well, but he doesn’t know anything about the subject,” Krikorian said.

The better approach, he says, is a step-by-step process that shrinks the unauthorized population. It could be done by implementing an employment-verification system that would prevent jobs from going to those who are not supposed to have them, he said. The implementation of an entry-exit system would help address those who overstay their visas. The number of people who have entered legally but overstayed their visas has been estimated to be as high as 40 percent of the 11 million people estimated to be here illegally.


This is a better plan than Trump’s? Apparently he didn’t read Trump’s plan, which covers that exactly.

$300 Billion? What’s the cost of not doing it?

Try this:

Progressive presidential candidates speak casually of removing 200 million guns, but what they don’t say is what it would cost, what it would take and the long odds of success.

It would be a more beautiful country! For one, far less wild fires. A huge amount of wild fires are set by illegal aliens.

You got it Jim... being a honey pot like this isn’t doing Mexico any real favors either. It leads them down the easy road.

An opportunity center with sane rules about how to participate — may America long be.

A honey pot — no.

I’m not surprised George Takei didn’t like it.

Someone will be along shortly to do the heavy lifting, showing the difference between the benefits of illegals versus their cost.
I’m too lazy tonight.
Anyway, it’s like paying one hundred bucks for a small coke at McDonalds.

Deny benefits and employment, offer a flight voucher to their home country, and they will mostly be gone by sundown.

You don’t have to deport 11 million people. Just cut off the bennies, deport the ones you catch, and the rest will self deport.

I imagine it would look like a cake walk compared to what the Kenyan sending out his Gestapo to round up 300 million firearms would look like.

Right now, these scum are costing us $300 billion every year (at least).

$300 billion to be rid of them is cheap.

It’d look like a dream come true and don’t stop at 11 Million.

Yes, indeed. A good start. We need to deport 30+ million.

America looked like America as long as it did because it looked in turn like God.

God will give you every mercy needed so that you can share love with the world in turn. That’s His plan, that’s His thing, that’s His joy.

He won’t invite you to loll around in a honey pot where you take and you never participate in giving.

First, stop all welfare, medical care that is non life or death, and education. Ask for ID at charities and soup kitchens. (Nearly every time you donate to a local cause for the poor in SoCal, your presents or food etc goes to illegals). Then, slowly, they self deport.

Eventually, you will notice more space on the road, a decrease in traffic accidents, and classrooms progressing better.
