I understand and agree that these people are here illegally, it is wrong. On a practical level I just do not see how we can methodically find, identify and deport 10M people. In order to be fair, and fair is a requirement, we must have a process. You have not provided a process therefore I assume you do not have one. As a result, you are just ranting; it feels good, but gets no closer to a solution than where we are now.
I suggest we work to stop more from entering the country through better border management. At the same time we need to integrate the people that are here now into the culture. The risk is that they are not integrated and become disenfranchised and hence are multi-generational welfare recipients. Morriss idea is a decent step in the right direction.

Several posts, including mine, have said you do not have to round up all 10M illegals. You need to impose severe penalties on employers & begin conducting raids. After some highly publicized raids & convictions of employers, the practice of hiring illegals will not be worth the risk. Without the attraction of employment or opportunity, illegals will be less likely to cross the border.
In addition to this, deport the illegals that are already in hand - those stopped by police & those incarcerated. It is estimated that 25& of CA prisoners are illegals. This would be a good start.

Legalizing them will not change the multigenerational welfare mindset of these families. It just won't.
