THE BIG LIE
Great analogy.
I’m sick of this pandering excuse making too.
But we can make them want to leave.
There's only one thing required to deport every last one of them - the will.
Why Can’t we?!
We need an Act of The Will.
“Deport” (as in arrest and put on a ship to Mexico) them “all” ...
With the right policy a lot of them would deport themselves.
Derail the gravy train and they’ll self-deport.
If they're starving, they'll go back to where they came from. It can be done.
Who says???? The GOPee and their ilk???? lolol
But here are some facts:
1) The U.S. deported 386,473 immigrants in each of the first four years of the Obama administration. Basically, in four years Obama removed 13 times more illegal immigrants -- including criminals -- than all the arrests by FDR of legal Japanese Americans/immigrants, and few people even noticed.
2) In the ten years starting with 2004, ICE deported a total of 3.3 million immigrants. Half of those were "interior arrests"; meaning the immigrants were picked up while already deep into the United States. The streets of America hardly looked like a "police state" when this took place.
3) Annual deportation levels are now more than double than during the second term of Bill Clinton, and it is tenfold the poor 39,000 annual deportations of the first five years of the 1990s. Doubling the deportation levels from the current levels is within reach and would take only a decade to remove 11 million; many of which -- here on expired visas -- would leave on their own if a fair, reentry system is set-up.
4) ICE has a budget of $6 billion. Doubling it to $12 billion to assure a doubling of deportations is hardly against the grain of limited government. Besides, the cost of illegal immigration is much higher for the federal government than the cost of deportations.
Why not?
Mexico did.

The equally troubling refrain is that there are only 11-12 million illegal aliens in the country. Our eyes tell a different story, which is that there is likely 30-60 million illegal aliens in the US. Everywhere you go places are infested and overcrowded with Mexicans and others, English is rarely spoken.
If they have no job and no welfare they will leave on their own.

Can’t never could. Maybe you can’t, but there are just a whole bunch of us who know we can. Have a nap or sumthin. We’ll wake you up when it’s over.
Here’s a good article written in 2011 on what would happen if 20 million illegals went back home.
Basically, a lot of good things would happen (in addition to all the money that was saved)

Arrest ALL employers who hire illegals. They will leave on their own. I have a company going to put a roof on my house this week. I asked if there were any illegals involved. The guy gave me documentation (I’m not a documentation expert) and ensured me he couldn’t get insurance or a contractors license in PA if he did hire illegals. He may be lying but I did make my point. I also rejected two Union roofers who told me I must be racist.
Logistically deporting the 11 million or so we have is an impossibility. It’s kind of funny to say ‘deport them all!”. A good fantasy, but that’s pretty much the summary.
Currently as it stands the number of illegals according to researchers remains pretty stable year in and year out. If an actual wall were ever built that could lower the numbers coming in and we could through policies and enforcement, start weening the numbers that remain.
But deporting them all is like saying you’re going to fist fight a Bengal tiger hyped up on PCP, the task is an impossibility even with x3 ICE agents.
