You're getting pretty close to 100%.

I know most illegals really do commit other crimes besides being here illegally ---or are accessing government services right and left especially the ones who bring their entire families here. But there are a few like some domestic workers and some farm workers who would be pretty difficult to deport without going door-to-door to find them, they might work for cash and leave their families back in Mexico and aren't the main problem ---but that doesn't stop us from deporting the moochers and criminals ---what's wrong with resolving 90% or 95% of the problem? It doesn't have to be 100% or 0.

We shouldn't exempt illegals who are not accessing government programs now - eventually they will start costing the taxpayers substantial amounts of money.

It wouldn't be difficult to find them at all. In most cities, the illegal immigrants live in certain neighborhoods, hang out on certain street corners or Home Depot lots looking for work, etc. Believe me, local law enforcement *knows* where the illegals are. They do nothing about it because it's a *federal* responsibility.

The laws need to be changed so that local law enforcement can pick up illegals & take them to federal offices, drop them off, and let the feds do the deportation. If Mexico doesn't like it, tough.

Nothing, but it's better to resolve 100%.

No, but it can be. So why not do it?

Gen. Swing’s roundup was good as a start. What we really need is to use the RICO laws to confiscate the businesses, homes, bank accounts, cars, etc. of everyone caught employing these criminals. We should also arrest them when they show up seeking any government service, including schooling and healthcare.

If they can’t get welfare and can’t work, they will not come. Plus it would stop those who harbor the criminals and illegally profit from the crimes.

We could stop the problem cold in months if we had real leaders again.
