I am up for amnesty, providing the first two items are 100% resolved.< Really? Do you understand the costs of amnesty? Do you understand that when you reward something, you get more of it? Why should we provide amnesty to lawbreakers who flout our laws in multiple ways beyond just entering illegally? Why should we legalize more workers who can then compete legally against Americans for jobs? Why should we create more future Dem voters?
If we "only" have 12 million illegal aliens, the cost will be $6.3 trillion. The real number of illegal aliens could be two to three times higher.

All good questions. Here is the answer. You will never deport an illegal from a blue state. Won’t happen regardless of law put into place. It is a fools errand to think so. However, you can make it so tough that they self deport.
So first you stem the flow. Once that is done, you get rid of the incarcerated and families. If they are committing crimes, you can bet they are abusing the system. Once you are done with that, go after the money. Charge very high fees for moving money out of the country. Also, fine and jail any business knowingly hiring illegals.
For the remaining illegals, offer an incentive for leaving. Say 5k per family with a one way ticket to several destinations. I figure by the time they hit this, there will be 10 million left. At 5k, that’s 50 billion.
Any illegal who chooses to stay after all of this happens, the family cannot vote for three generations. That means grandmother, mother, child. Any child under 21 automatically loses all benefits at 21, regardless if they have a child.
Finally, anyone left must have a sponsor at work of American citizenship that will put up a bond for them. (Forget the pay the fine. Let the sponsor do that if they love the family so much) If the sponsor refuses to put up bond, the family must leave the country.
If the sponsor accepts the family, that family is granted amnesty.
