I think self-deportation is key. Make it so uncomfortable for them that most will leave on their own.

You are right, active enforcement would convince most it was better to leave voluntarily. Deportees are barred from re-entry for a time. If they leave on their own they can apply for entry like they should have in the first place.
ANd so if they commit a crime they are NEVER let out on the streets again.
“I think self-deportation is key.”
Always is, and plenty will. When Trump wins AZ the warning shots will be fired. When he wins CA, they’ll start leaving.
Tax the Cheet out of their send Home to Padre and Madre checks. 35-40% right off the top.
That a huge pile of money right there.
And a lot of them will Go Home since wiring US wealth to Meh-he-Co is why they are here.

Trump has promised to get rid of illegals and he can do it under laws already in place. All he has to do is insist on enforcement of e-verify and harshly punish businesses that employ illegals. To your point, watch them leave on their own when they can’t get jobs or work under the table.
Here’s where he saves the states despite their protestations. All he has to do is tell the states they’ll receive no welfare or medicaid funding until they weed their enrollments of illegal immigrants, including their dependents. The choice is protecting illegals in violation of existing federal immigration laws, or money. What choice will they make? Will they say NO to Uncle Sugar?
By the same token, if he tells the sanctuary cities that they’ll receive no more federal funding until they start complying with existing immigration laws, what will the cities do? Choose sanctuary policy or federal money? See above.
I saw on Drudge recently that the number of sanctuary cities now number more than 300.
Many illegals run afoul of the law. When someone has a police contact via arrest and they can’t prove legal resident status, you deport them, or hold them for trial then decide whether to imprison or deport them. Do you think the police and/or courts will hesitate to get rid of a problem the easiest way possible, knowing their federal funding will be cut off if they don’t enforce existing federal immigration laws? Again, not one additional law is needed to do this.
How many people have been “rounded up” and deported so far? None. They’re leaving on their own because it will no longer be easy to stay. How much money has Trump saved the American taxpayer just by implementing what I’ve outlined above? Millions of them would leave on their own if they can’t work or draw welfare benefits and many more would be deported after running afoul of the law.
We’ll need that big beautiful door on that big beautiful wall just to handle all the traffic headed SOUTH and he hasn’t had to do a thing except insist that EXISTING federal immigration laws be enforced.
The President appoints the cabinet heads at DHS and the other agencies that have to do with these laws. Do you think Trumps appointed cabinet heads will NOT enforce the laws as directed?
No tyranny or violations of the constitution required. All we’ve lacked so far is a president with the desire or balls to enforce the law.
Sure, the democrats and Leftists will holler and stamp their feet, but they won’t pay out of their own pockets to protect their interest groups, aka future democrat voters.
As an added bonus, they can even claim that it’s not their fault, a position all politicians are quite comfortable with.
If Trump were elected president and did nothing except what I’ve outlined above, would his presidency still not be considered a success?
Trump 2016!
Bingo. That's been my contention too.
