I really don't care who you are or how many posts you have made.

It is cost prohibitive. Wasting a single dime on simply rounding them up and shipping them back is a dime wasted. The incentive to come here in the first place is what needs to be removed, and that doesn't cost a thing, and would infact free up even more resources. No more free health care, tuition breaks, and so on.

Clear?

I'm pointing out that I'm just "slightly" more likely to understand the ettiquette of the forum than you, NOOB.

Wrong. It is NOT cost prohibitive. It is actually cheap at the price. The economic impact of the money sent home every year ($30 billion/year) ALONE is six times the TOTAL budget of INS ($5.3 billion). The net effect of having that $30 billion not spent in the US economy is at least $150 billion dollars (assuming a multiplier effect of 5X). This says nothing about the direct costs.

I agree that it would be nice to reduce the incentives, but that is even less likely to happen than deportation.
