Realistically, how difficult would mass deportation of all illegal Mexican immigrants in the US be?

Answer 1

Only one way to find out!!!!

Answer 2

If it were first determined to be economically viable and favorable for our country (which I doubt), then to make such a forced deportation possible, we would have to stoop to some really fascist methods of doing it, at such levels that anyone would wonder if we hadn't completely lost our foundational values as a country. Alot of families with mixed status would be ripped apart, alot of honest, hardworking people would be taken out of the economic inputs that they are manning, and I doubt it is even worth considering beyond that point. I think that most people are just trying to set up a framework whereby these people pay some taxes and do their time as guest workers (making a little less) before eventually leaving or applying to stay. Think of it as a kinder, gentler form of servitude (almost like the military) after which they earn their freedom. Seems fairer and better for society as a whole- temps would have limited access to basic needs and pay for it, and would have incentives to work hard and make this their country.

Right now there is already a path to fast-track citizenship via the military. It always was an unofficial path (immigration judges smiled on military service and top-shelved those apps- that's how my father got in), now it is actually the law. You can hop the fence, join the marines, and apply for citizenship the next day (it will get approved pending honorable discharge or posthumously). If you don't want to join the military, there should be a civilian workforce of people wishing to be a part of this country. That's a big range and we need to agree on what this should be.

Answer 3

In fact and reality it may take a year or so but in the long run it would be well worth the time and money to deporting all of them.
As for being hard ? No it wouldn't be hard at all. I could round you up at least a hundred a day with no trouble at all down here in Corpus Christi, TX. They are working all over the place mainly housing construction jobs on Padre Island, they stop at Jeliscos restaurant in Flour Bluff, every morning to eat their tacos.They come in by the truck loads from 6:30 to7:30 AM.
The majority of illegals are not very smart in the first place and are scared to death of being caught, they run when they see the "Green Men" IE. Border Patrol, so make it a task for all law officers to have authority to arrest on sight any illegal and have them transported by air, bus, or train to the nearest mexico border town. Let them know that if they are caught again in the U.S.that they will be working the road and fence building project on the border for one year with only food and housing provided to them while being incarcerated by the friendly Southern border states. Not a problem at all !!!!!!

I think Congress should fund this project 100%. Now this would be a well worth cause for using our tax money, instead of giving themself a raise.

Answer 4

First although Mexicans make up around 70% of illegal immigrants, the policy must be applied to all illegal immigrants.

Realisticly, it would not be too bad if the all avenues for detection and removal was used -

Detected at employment - Try, Jail, Deport
Detected by Law Enforcement - Try, Jail, Deport
Detected trying to use services ( Medical / Education) - Try, Jail, Deport.

The key is once you begin to try and jail (6months) persons who have come to the US illegally, many will go home on their own.

Sending them home is cheaper than building schools, roads etc... to support them.

Answer 5

Mass anything is a mass,So by enforcing our laws like AZ+GA+COL are doing. when more come on board the deporting will happen on it's own.No jobs No pay No stay.With the will of the USA citizens we have spoken No amnesty make sure you watch so the Dem's don't slip something threw as there is 1 crawling around???? Keep calling your Sen= close the borders ,enforce our laws,build the fence.

Answer 6

It's not impossible. But nothing worth having is ever going to be easy.

Invest the $40 billion annually in taxpayers money we are now spending on their healthcare, welfare, and fire / police protection and put these criminals in buses headed south and military type transport airplanes to the rest of the world.

Gets the illegals off the payrolls of the american taxpayer. For far less than the $40 billion a year these criminals are costing us, we can run LOTS of buses to the south, and fill up LOTS of military transport airplanes to other parts of the world as well.

Of course, we will have to enforce our borders and our immigration laws to keep the criminals from coming back.

But a good investment at the front end of your effort will more than pay for itself 100 times over in future years

Answer 7

Since Bush and the Republicans in Congress support amnesty. Why is it that Congress has done nothing for 6 years to enforce the laws on the books already and keep them out?
Why has the border patrol not been increased to take care of a known problem for the past 6 years. Put blame where it belongs squarely on the do nothing useless Congress in the past 6 years. Why did the Republicans kill the 100,000 new cops that Democrats and Clinton passed?

Answer 8

If we enforced the current laws which prevent illegals from working, stopped giving welfare, food stamps, and free medical care to people who are not supposed to be here, stopped giving citizenship to babies born here to illegal mothers, and changed "anchor baby" laws which allow families to live here because they managed to sneak across to have a baby, the illegals would deport themselves. We don't need "comprehensive immigration reform" for the most part, we need to enforce the laws we have.

Answer 9

Very difficult, But i don't know about impossible! And if anything we owe it to the American people to at least try. This mess didn't happen over night and it wont be rectified over night either. (1) put the wall up (2) Fine,shut down and jail the employers (3) cut off any and all social service programs. After that is done many would leave voluntarily.

Answer 10

No More Difficult than it was back when our founding fathers
took our Native Americans Indians on to a trail of tears to OK.
No More Difficult than it is to Win the War in Iraq.

Answer 11

You have to start some where, so how about one at a time.
