Perhaps, but I doubt it. We can deport every last one of them - including rounding them up if we have the will. Eisenhower got rid of several million illegals in operation Wetback. The “we can’t do it” excuse is a lie, and the “it’s inhumane” lie is just an attempt to bully people into accepting illegal entry as fait accompli.

If she is for “a path to citizenship”, she needs to find a path back to Alaska.

There are probably several million illegals in any 15-square-foot mile area of So. Cal. alone. I tell you and you had better believe me: if we attempted to round-up and depart "every last one of them," there would be BLOODSHED in the streets and riots, violence, and an ugly forced divide between otherwise-friends the likes of which we've never seen.

There are better ways to solve this problem. First, dump the minimum wage -- it is the equivalent of a respectable middle-class wage south of the border, and illegals' legal competition for those jobs is made up of teen-agers and unskilled, uneducated folks who mostly have a bad work ethic. The minimum wage both invites the illegals here and employers to prefer them because they have a better work ethic. I know because I've worked beside illegals and will tell you outright that many times, I'd rather have the illegal alien who had a good attitude, showed up for work every day, was honest and trustworthy, and VALUED HIS JOB, as a co-worker, than a legal co-worker who was a drop-out with zero skills, an entitlement mentality, showed up for work sporadically, and was too young and/or stupid to value his job.

The other half of getting rid of them WITHOUT bloodshed would be to end the welfare/medical/education/freebies/housing/etc.etc. that illegals get when they move here.

Your way is stupid, bloody, and would do FAR FAR FAR more harm than good. My way would restore economic freedom and a good work ethic.
