Good luck identifying and transporting 10-20 million people with due process while simultaneously not destroying the businesses that employ them, accidentally deporting citizens, and doing it outside the vision of cameras and youtube who will record thousands of frightened people behind razor wire or packed like sardines in railroad cars. 5-10% of the working population in this country are likely illegals generally working jobs no one else wants for low (and often illegal) pay. Who is going to build a 2000mi wall in Texas in the summer for minimum wage? Certainly no one reading HN.


There is no reason we can't institute work visas like other countries do. Regulate it, have it be based on need and expand it to all applicable countries, not just neighbors.


But maybe if we deport all those people, living conditions will finally get so bad that the actual citizens will enforce their constitutional rights and lead a revolution.
