The second phase will be more problematic. What do we do with the illegals that are already here? Round them up into internment camps as a prelude to deportation? I do not have an answer to that one. The only people that seem to have answers are the ones that have no responsibility nor accountability for the implementation of their plans.
That would be OK, although I find your use of the term "internment camps" a bit melodramatic, since we are discussing prisons, in which we would be incarcerating criminals.
If that's not OK, then we've got an even bigger problem on our hands, what with the million or more criminals already incarcerated (or "interned", if you prefer the dramatics). I suppose we'll need to give them "guest worker" papers (and release them!) too?
Now, as to the part you can't seem to wrap your mind around -- what to do with them after they're apprehended. This is so easy I have to do a reality check to see if you're trolling us.
All we need to do is DEPORT them when they're picked up. It's not like they're some national treasure that we need to keep in inventory.
Hell, if that's too much of a "strain on the system", then start light -- just deport ONE out of ever TEN that are found.
As it stands now, the police are so hamstrung that being an illegal alien is pretty much a "get out of jail free" card. The cops can't do a bloody thing about 'em!
There's NO problem finding them, in any quantity desired.
So, start light. Just bust TEN PERCENT of them, and deport them ASAP.
I guarantee you the rest of 'em will be having problems in the lower digestive tract as they sit there wondering if THEY will be the next criminal to snag the brass ring.
Probably won't take long before there are more illegals FLEEING the country than there are entering it.
But, these are solutions -- VIABLE solutions. And "solutions" do NOT seem to be what "our leaders" are casting about for. What they are doing is trying to come up with increasingly creative ways to convince us that an amnesty "is not an amnesty."
