3) Because the physical costs of expelling 10 million people will be eye-popping (you think you bitch NOW about school and medicaid costs?)
4) Because the political costs of ripping up many good families and workers whose only crime consists of the paperwork re: their presence is too high for anyone except a Buchananite torch waver, and they just don't give a damn about that. "purity" is everything to these folks
5) Because it will require a huge loss of freedoms for us all to implement the police force necessary to extract them

I didn't call for a mass roundup and expulsion, so those points make no sense. Not surprising, though. It's quite typical of you guys to argue against points that weren't raised.

6) Because the shock to the labor market will be beyond anything you can imagine

Nonsense. They'd just be replaced with new arrivals who've gone through the legal process of coming here.

7) Because it will create a huge impoverished and politically unstable force right on our border. Kinda like the Palistinan refugee camps except about a thousand times bigger.

That would be Mexico's problem, not ours.
