Unfortunately in terms of “false choice”, or “false dilemma” - your solution of massive repatriation (voluntary or not) is one extreme, and open border liberals are the other.

I propose a middle way, one which we control.
Realistically a middle way is the best that will happen.

The only question is WHO will structure the middle way and control the terms. Not people who hold to either extreme, though some, not all, of each side’s demands must be met.

Hopefully the process will be controlled by people with a love for American traditions, individual liberty and the long term survival of American values.

This would NOT (MUST NOT) be obama nor the democrat party, given where they have devolved under obama pelosi reid et al.

Are you going to wave a magic wand? If that were the case, there would be no amnesty. Conferring rights and privileges upon illegal aliens has a corrosive effect on the Rule of Law, the very foundation of our Republic. It is also a slap in the face to legal immigrants who have followed the rules and obeyed the laws. There are millions of immigrants waiting their turn overseas to enter the U.S. legally and approximately 40 million immigrants living in the U.S., most of whom followed the law. Recent polling by Rasmussen has shown that the American people are calling for increased enforcement of our immigration laws. 74 percent of U.S. voters say the government is not doing enough to secure the borders. 73 percent believe that a police officer should automatically check to see if someone is in this country legally when an officer pulls that person over for a traffic stop. 67 percent support surprise raids on businesses to identify and deport illegal aliens. 77 percent are against illegal aliens getting drivers’ licenses.

There is no "middle way," just a right and wrong way. We are either a nation of laws or we are not. You don't reward illegal behavior.

Where and when did I offer such a solution?

But it sounds like you’re offering no solution, other than, “There must be a solution someplace in the middle.”
