"Also, that's a terrible way to go about dealing with this issue. Round up and deport, for better or worse (and it's definitely for better) is just not a viable solution. It's morally reprehensible, it's poorly considered (think of the logistics), and it just gives the Islamists more fodder."

Deporting is no more reprehensible than importing. It is a mistake to import endless hordes of immigrants with third-world values and no job skills and expect them to be citizens with the same democratic ideals we hold. Further, it becomes tragic if you import large numbers of 8th century Islamists who believe the West to be their enemy. In such case, you first stop importing any more of them and next rectify the mistake of having already imported enemies into your midst by exporting them. And in my view, the Islamists don't need more "fodder". They appear to hate us enough already.

You're right about importing. Which is why our immigration system needs an extensive overhaul. And we can export violators of our ways. But we can not punish the innocent. Sorry. No go.
