There is no need to actually deport 11+ million people.
By targeting all business owners and renters who have knowingly hired illegals with jail time and enormous fines, the illegals will be dropped from their jobs like hot potatoes.
The vast majority will head for home and stay there. As it is, most visit their home at least once a year anyway.
This will just encourage them to stay.

Well, that's one approach. A much more passive one, albeit.
I like the loud, bold statements that communicate the message "respect our laws, or you WILL be deported." And, I have the will to do it.
After all - protecting our borders and our sovereignty is ACTUALLY one of the powers that the Constitution grants to the function of the government.
How long will we put up with the government doing everything BUT what it is actually given the power to do?

We start tightening the screws with lots of publicity and public announcements, over a period say three years we keep imposing a shrinking list of options for illegals, until even the ones that have been here a long time take their winnings and go home to relative prosperity.
