We were discussing logistics, i.e. how do you “round up hundreds of thousands and possibly millions of people.

No, you're discussing logistics with the false assumption eliminating the illegal immigration problem cannot be accomplished without removing all of them. My remarks throughout the thread have dealt specifically with the law. The reason being strict enforcement will dictate the logistics you emphasize.
Your argument is that you don’t, you simply enforce current law and most will run away. I disagree with the “most will run away” part, not the “enforce the current laws” part.

Then you are saying illegals will still remain in significant force even though strict enforcement of current immigration laws will target both the illegals and their employers who are the illegals source of income. Illegals come here to earn more money than they make in their homeland. Most of which they send back to family. Suggesting those who are not captured will remain without any income is ludicrous on its face.

Whoa, hang on there cowboy, I have made no such assertions on this thread or any other.

You're quote in reply #467: "Oops, sorry, I missed your point way at the bottom of the superfluous legal info you posted". I suggest you look up the definition of superfluous.

I believe that you enforce the law reasonably and systematically against EMPLOYERS.

You enforce the immigration laws as they are written and applied to all violators involved.

My assumption about logistics is that your assumption is overly simplistic.

I haven't made any assumptions. The Federal Immigration and Nationality Act is a fact.

OK, somehow I missed the part where you decided that the boys would be chasing illegals down the street. All along you have been saying you’d go after employers and the problem would resolve itself. Now you’re going to target “both” the individuals (7 to 20 million) and the employer.

I don’t know how you remove 7 to 20 million workers, all at once, without creating a logistical, political, business, and human nightmare. You insist it’s easy to remove them all and by implication to keep them from returning. Good for you. I think you’re dreaming.
