Uh, I don't think we've ever amassed a federal police force of the size it would take to deport 30 MILLION people. That's nuts man. There's gotta be better plans out there than that. I can see some discriminatory deportation of the kind I mentioned. I could also see requiring illegals to enroll in the process of legal immigration. But flat out deporting 30 million people is something that will never fly and you should be more concerned about the power you would be giving to fed to police such an effort.

Tell Dwight D. Eisenhauer he's nuts.

Overall, there were 1,078,168 apprehensions made in the first year of Operation Wetback

Citation: The entry for the rather unfortunately-named "Operation Wetback" in 1954. If they can apprehend that many in one year in 1954, how many do you think they can apprehend NOW -- with the advancements in technology -- and still use the SAME numbers of Federal police? Add in the States efforts, and I think in 5 years the problem is under control.

There is a concerted effort by the Democrats and even the Republicans to downplay, and even pooh-pooh and/or mock the idea. However, these numbers back in 1954 show that the deportation idea is quite attainable, and would not resort in any more of a police state than we presently have.

If I were not a Soros Plant -- and if I were concerned about a police state -- I'd probably be putting my energy towards removing NSA surveillance efforts, and not downplaying the eminently-possible idea of the enforcement of existing immigration laws, and the deportation of those lawbreakers.
