“Unfortunately, even catching thousands per year won’t even put a dent in the illegal alien population.

Strongly disagree and I do mean strongly.
This round up of illegals along with far stricter border enforcement will send a STRONG message to those thinking of illegally entering the country. Some will be arrested and jailed, then expelled, some will leave on their own and fewer will attempt to enter illegally.”
The simple fact is that when you see other people having great difficulty doing the same thing that you’re trying to do, you switch to plan B. I have no doubt that this is exactly what the Trump Administration wants millions of actual illegals, as well as potential illegals that are thinking of coming here, to do. Plan B consists of making it in their own country, whether it is Mexico, Guatemala, Somalia or wherever. There are plenty of people around the world who want to come here for the right reasons, are already on line, and who can be vetted. Those are, generally speaking, the kinds of immigrants that we want, not those who break our laws by the very fact of setting foot on our soil. Because once they do that, they start breaking more and more laws. Tax laws, insurance laws, voting laws... It simply does not end. All of this puts a huge strain on our resources, and we need to stop it in its tracks.
I never even mentioned the other deterrent which is to refuse aid of ANY kind to any illegals, no exceptions.
Once they understand there is ZERO to be gained by sneaking in to our country they won’t bother to try. Of course they cannot be permitted to work and so e-verify must be improved and used with very big fines assessed on employers who violate the law in this regard.
