Yes, I know.
the only thing I said was that Congress can do something like this if they want.
It may end up being a compromise because your position may end up being untenable for the Congress. No one should have a problem with getting rid of a criminal. But the maid or car washer Etc is not in the same class as a gang member or thief.
The people who argue that we cannot pay for the hearings and legal “due process” that will be required are making a point. My suggestion is that many of the non-criminal illegals may welcome the chance to become residents without voting rights and sit at the end of the line of residents who came in legally. After several million criminals are sent back the process of dealing with those who are clearly here as workers can become the focus.
My idea (post wall and criminal deportation) is to allow them to apply for resident status and waive their hearings by filling out an application that showed what they have been doing here for the last several years. If they have kept their noses clean, I would like to see some change in status from illegal to legal. The circumstances would need to be set down in a new law. The law may not gain acceptance, as you say, but we can’t know at this time.
As this illegal alien illustrates

we should not wait until they have been convicted of killing Americans before deporting them.
ALL illegal aliens have been committing myriad crimes to further their illegal presence in the USA.
Driving without licenses and insurance, riving drunk, using fraudulent documents, etc.
Just because they haven’t been caught is no reason to give them a pass.
Of course illegal aliens would jump at the chance to lie about what they’ve been doing to get rewarded for breaking in and many in Congress have been itching for any excuse to amnesty those who they have refused to keep out.
We elected Trump to put an end to the refusal to enforce the laws and the endless demands for amnesty from our faithless elected.
