Let's face it... we're not going to deport 12 million people. The costs would be staggering. Police time, court hearings, lawyers, incarceration, meals, transportation... the cost could easily exceed $100 billion.

It's costing the U.S. taxpayer over a $100 billion a year to just have over 12 million illegals here as it. If they are continued to be allowed to stay, it will collapse our economy, starting with the medical industry.

This is not just a matter of following the law, it is a matter of our very survival.

What do you suppose will happen if the US is suddenly left with no more migrant workers? Do you think that willing Americans will be flocking to pick fruit in California? I think not. If it is truly an economic collapse that you are worried about then I would think that you should start trying to convince Americans that it would be beneficial to raise the prices of everything that we have become accustomed to having cheaply. Perhaps even convince the general public to look into the job opportunities that will be open to them once all of the illegals are back where they belong. You know, jobs like picking fruit, cleaning toilets, and building highways.
