The mass deportation of twelve to thirty million illegal immigrants is really not gonna happen, and the attempt would be folly. On the other hand, self-deportation is a proven method, and will work with no new laws- just enforce the ones that are already on the books, starting with E-Verify, and prosecution of employers of illegals.

With one exception. Illegal entry into the country is currently rated as a misdemeanor.

It would be appropriate to amend the law to read illegal presence in the country is a felony.

Stiffening the penalty for illegal presence would put some teeth in the law.

My method (Ike’s) basically works without the law, or classification as misdemeanor or felony, it just dries up the jobs, and that is what causes self deportation. Stop the employment of illegals, and they will leave.
