Again: Please think about what it would take to round up and deport 8 to 12 million people - men, women and children. Then think about how that would look on every TV set in the world (with appropriate "compassionate" liberal commentary).

Maybe the folks who advocate this think that they could do some sort of Nacht und Nebel effort.

We don't have to forcibly deport them all. First, institute a guest worker program that makes work permits in the US only available at an embassy or consulate within the country of origin. Second, start enforcing existing statutes penalizing businesses that hire these people not possessing the permits.

They'll leave on their own, in droves.

There are few among us who oppose a guest worker program or a rational rate of legal immigration. Those among you who mischaracterize our position in order to have a defensible position are out of line.
