Yes he would deport. And in fact he will not let them right back in. What’s the point in deporting if you are just going to let them back in?
Think of the amusement park where they have a rule for cutting in line. Typically it’s—you cut in line you get kicked out of the park (no refunds, you lose your season pass).
Now if the punishment was if you get caught cutting in line you go to the end of the line. Would that stop anyone from cutting in line? No in fact it would encourage more cutting because the only consequence is you go to the end (where you would be anyway). To make people self deport you need a real punishment—like no re-entry EVER! Then you’ll see people leaving.
Having said that. I do like Trump’s plan to take the money the illegals send back to Mexico. That is a great idea and that too would stop a lot of illegals coming here.

To “launder” them, so they will be transitioned from illegal to legal and be on their way to future voters? It’s just the same old touch-back amnesty scam tried a few years back.
