Deportation for deportation’s sake on an immigration law system that is subject to interpretation doesn’t make sense, except, of course, for those who commit other crimes while here.
My 2 cents: It’s time for a scalpel: deport the ones who AREN’T working and the ones who are otherwise living on taxpayer dollar. Then, post the jobs of those currently employed, and fill them with as many as people as possible who are here legally. And keep those jobs posted until they’re filled with legal workers.
