Holy crap, I’d be rich. A huge chunk of people in my area are of dubious immigration status.

My Home Depot STILL has a lot of them at the entrance. I’d go there with a few and a Greyhound bus, and haul them in. $10,000 per head would be nice.

I have a feeling they won’t be offering a bounty anytime soon, probably for political reasons. There are 20m naturalized citizens in the country. They vote at a lower rate than natural-born citizens. But they also vote mainly Democratic. Having la migra randomly hassle these citizens (20m out of 40m foreign-born residents) might serve as an excellent GOTV drive for the Democrats.

There are also about 12m green card holders, about 8m of which are eligible to become citizens. Again, getting a visit from la migra because someone in the neighborhood thought speaking Spanish or speaking English in a Spanish accent meant he was an illegal alien will greatly raise naturalization rates for these green card holders. So that would be another GOTV gift to the Democratic party.

Bottom line is, I don’t see the GOP going with illegal alien bounties any time soon. It sounds good in theory, but is a guaranteed vote loser.
