The question shouldn;t be
What Would It Cost to Deport Illegal Aliens?
The question should be
What is the Cost if we Don't Deport Illegal Aliens?
If the total cost were $100 billion dollars, we'd recoup the fees in less than five years, perhaps as little as eighteen months to two years.
Deport. We kicked our farmers off their farms. Illegals are no better than the U.S. farmer.
It would cost nothing, They would self deport if the government/USPS/Banks were not in the money transfer business.
If they could not bank here they could not live here.
The IRS could find them all if the powers that be wanted to. Lord help you if you were a US Citizen who didnt pay taxes.
If they fine employers enough, nothing!
Eliminate welfare, hit the employers of illegals hard and there won't be enough jobs for the lower end of the work force.

The Mexicans are unlike previous immigrants. This definitely needs to be read by everyone at least once! It should be linked on pertinent immigration threads. Here's an interesting link about Samuel Huntington:
Our leaders talk of allowing all illegal aliens to stay. As if that weren't bad enough, they want guest-worker permits on top of that. Yep, you guessed it, according to them we don't have enough Mexican citizens living in the United States already.
10, 20, 30 million, whatever the actual figure is for illegal aliens in our nation today, it's not enough. Millions more must be allowed to enter.
Listen to Bush. Paraphrased: "If we had better laws regulating those who want to come here and hold down jobs U.S. Citizens won't do, there would be no illegal immigration."
Think about this. Best estimates reveal that between three and five million illegal immigrants come across our border every year now. In order to alleviate this, we would have to allow work permits to between three and five million people per year. In five years, we'd let in another fifteen to twenty-five million.
Now think about this. If it were as easy as filling out a form to come here, would between three and five million be the max? No, if folks would venture to cross the desert under extreme peril, they're mightily driven to come. If the method were easier, the actual numbers would be more like seven to ten million per year. In ten years that would amount to 70 to 100 million. No, Mexico would NOT be the only nation. We would be swamped!
Now, can anyone else see how our nation could almost overnight become 60% Mexican or at the very least 60 to 70% Central and South American?
Then you have to count the immediate family members that would be allowed to come over once their ankor 'guest-worker' was established.
Our leaders are talking glibly about the complete swamping of our nation in ten to twenty years. We could see as much as 100 to 200 million more people in our nation.
Who in their right mind would sign on to this. Whatever happened to calls for reasonable growth in order to save this planet? Boy has their tune changed.
All this doesn't even take into consideration the inevitable children that would be born to these tens to hundreds of million people.
So, see, you too can adopt this poor hungry wretch of an illegal alien for less than $5 a day, and send them back to the friends and family that they were forced to leave in order to make the arduous trek north across the blistering Arizona desert just to make a measly buck picking lettuce and cotton, 'cause no American will do those demeaning jobs.
Whew...that was a mouthful...
Okay, if someone landed in my house, I got along with them, and they wanted to clean my house for cheap in return for being able to stay, I'd take them up on it. Believe me, I'd be a lot happier if someone would do that in my house.
On the other hand, if they came up to me and yelled that I stole the land from them and asked for it back, I'd call the cops.
I don't mind if people come here to make a living, and don't love America, but I really think it's better if they don't actively hate America and wish for its destruction. That's crossing a line I had no idea they had crossed.
After seeing those protests, I'm starting to change my thinking on this issue. I still don't like the views of the nativists because they seem so harsh, but I certainly don't like the fact that half a million people marched in an effort to turn our land into Mexico.
They sounded like the Palestinians, and they sounded angry enough to be suicide bombers. I don't think things will go that far since the Catholic church isn't going to preach sermons advocating that kind of behavior any time soon. But just the fact that I could make such a comparison doesn't strike me as a good sign.
And yet, all of this aside, I appreciate the vitality that Latin culture gives us. Right now, I live in Pittsburgh, which is about 90% white. Is life better because there are no illegal aliens?
Actually, it's worse. Everyone here is grim, unhappy, doing little but surviving. There is very little joy and vitality here. And part of the reason is a shrinking population.
If all the illegals were removed from LA and San Diego and other places with high concentrations, we'd see veritable ghost towns. The value of your home would almost certainly go down.
And the Latin flair and love of life, which I am convinced that we need, would go away.
The alternative is for our cities to look like Pittsburgh. Glum, white and shrinking.
I think I'd prefer LA as it is than for that to happen.
But that leaves out the fact that there are a lot of people who hate us, and if they hate us ... they shouldn't be here.
So I'm pretty confused about this issue and would welcome comments.

It's one thing to round up and deport them. It's another thing entirely to keep them deported.
Heavy fortification all along the southern border. Perhaps as many as 40,000 troops on permanent patrol. Every German shepard on the planet. Massive sea-going deployment for coastal interdiction. Then there's Vicente Fox, whose popularity in Mexico hinges largely on his success in getting rid of Mexico's "undesirables" by dumping them into our country. We will have to forget about Mexican cooperation on anything -- oil, NAFTA, Venezuela, Cuba, Panama, etc.
But even with all that and more, I still say we should go for it. In fact, the best outcome, IMO, would be to finish what President Polk started.
sheeesh, think they prostituted my tagline.
I don't care how much it costs. The future of our country and our people is at stake.
