Anyway, we need to start deportations because of the huge numbers of illegal aliens in this country - an invasion.
All they would have to do is to start deporting the felons, and then only deport people as they run across them (driving irratically or drunk, turned in at their employment, just a few at a time). If they made it known that voting in an election before you become a citizen would disqualify you from EVER getting citizenship, that might make a difference.
