“but what do you do with a guy who has lived here twenty five years?”
If he’s an illegal you arrest him and deport his sorry ass.

In Las Vegas, I expect that would be near 100,000 long time residents (neighbors, workers, friends) you guys would need to herd into cattle cars. Now, that has as much chance of happening as the Sun rising in the west and setting in the east. It will never happen.
Here’s what could happen, the border fence could be constructed, petty criminals could be immediately deported, id requirements could be enforced. The illegal problem could be resolved through attrition, and yes, even stringent pathways to citizenship rather than full amnesty for long time residents. Not a perfect solution, but doable.
I just think “cattle cars to the border” is the sort of plan thought up by people who still believe Peter Pan can fly.
