No, but just like the starfish on the sea shore, if you deport one you make a difference.
Let’s say you are an illegal alien.
You snuck in and are now doing day labor, doing well, and squeezing out $20 K per year. Employers are glad to hire you off the books. No taxes; no Obamacare, no insurance,; no vacation pay.
You’re not wealthy, but you’re better off than you were in Tegucigalpa or Oaxaca. Share a basement with 10 other illegals, send $8 K home every year, have a cell phone.
Then someone in Washington actually starts enforcing the laws that have always been on the books. Now you can’t get hired. Your income goes to zero. You can’t pay the rent. No more welfare handouts; no free medical care. Life sucks.
Do you stay here in the USA where it’s expensive and you can’t make a dime, or do you decide to go home where life sucks, but at least you’re with family and can scrounge out a living, even if not as nice as the one you had up here?
Of course, you go home.
Didn’t require a deportation order, or a roundup by ICE. You just head back.
Now what if the US government under this new leadership, in a fit of compassion, says that it will give you $20,000 and free transportation home (and criminal imprisonment if you sneak back) do you head home.
Damn straight you do.
There - problem solved.
And at $20 K per head (times 11 million is $220 billion, less than the current total cost for illegal aliens) it is cheaper than continuing to maintain the illegal here.
Good analogy.
But Trump’s promising legalization for the non-violent types who voluntarily take a vacation in the home country—so that’s a pretty good incentive for illegals to take that vacation.
Take them off of welfare and Colorado will save #2B and most of those will go home. Proper ID checks for employment to stop illegals will send millions packing.
We don’t need to deport them, we as a United Country, need to enforce existing laws and go after people that hire illegals... They will self deport! The Arizona law that did exactly that proved it would work, then Feds overturned the law and went after the one sheriff that was enforcing the law and all the illegals that left were replaced by the new stream Obama has encouraged.
Or theft, or any of dozens of other crimes.
How to deport 12 million illegals? One, two, three, a busload at a time. They all add up, but send them far into wherever they are from, and strip them of assets before they go.
If the property of American Citizens can be confiscated because it "might" be involved in or the result of criminal activity (not that I agree with the practice because it seriously lacks so much as probable cause), the presumption can be used against those who are committing a crime by their very presence.

First you encourage self-deportation via e-verify and being cut off from all welfare programs. Many illegals will still have off the books jobs and will be harder to deport. But it can be done.
Forcible deportations start with the criminal element that is illegal aliens.
ANOTHER THING — If Wall Street keeps crashing and we have an economic downturn then a Trump style deportation policy will be lots easier to implement. Due to the job-stealing done by illegal aliens.
Yes, that's way too slow, costly and burdensome. Just round them up and throw them out.
$100,000 fine for any one who hires an illegal alien...first offense...$200,000 second offense....$400,000 third offense... get my drift?
We can’t? I live in Texas, and would gladly volunteer my truck to transport 4 illegals that are cuffed to the border Get us all to volunteer once a month, and we could fix this quick.
We can’t defeat Germany AND Japan! = Idiot-American.
Mexico deported them to the US so why can’t we return them to Mexico??
Leftist Government-Developed Solution
Sounds like a plan to me...
Arrest the owners of the big companies that clean offices at night. That should take out half of them.
Why not, Mexico sent them we can send them back.
Enforce the laws; fine and imprison those who hire, employ, aid, abet, harbor, school, and assist then, and they will deport themselves.
