I'm pointing out that I'm just "slightly" more likely to understand the ettiquette of the forum than you, NOOB.
"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."
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.
""Wrong. It is NOT cost prohibitive.""
Yes, it is. Might as well throw the billions right down the sewer for all the good it will do.
Remove the incentives, and they will go back themselves. If no one can hire them, no one can give them medical care, etc...there will be no reason to be here. They can go home, and then come in through the front door with the rest of the lawful immigrants.
