Do you really think that it will be possible to deport 12 million people?

It would be better to use those resources to arrest 1,000,000 drug dealers, serial killers, sex offenders, fugitives, pyromaniacs and original gangstas. Don't you think?

No, I haven't.\nNo, I do not have the slightest intention of ever doing so.\nAnd no, if we did that we'd probably end up taking out half our own people.

Yes, that might work, but the outcry from the rest of the world for the murder of thousands might be so great it would have to stop quickly.

I'd estimate it at close to 340 million right now.\n\nlivewire - I don't think that's a good estimate even for just the U.S.

Of course not. How could you possibly know?\n\nI know the following story: in 1962 an Algerian student in the USA was accused of "threatening behavior" against another motorist and was arrested. \n\nAs it happened, Algeria had become independent a few days earlier and his father had been named Algerian ambassador to the USA.\n\nIt took an hour or so to prove that fact, and he was released by reason of diplomatic immunity.\n\nThere are thousands of hypotheses that could make an "illegal" alien non-deportable. The most common is the Geneva Refugee Convention (1950). Only a judge can determine if an alien is deportable. You cannot.\n\nAnd read this: \n"A Border Watcher Finds Himself Under Scrutiny\n"A man who boasted of capturing 12,000 illegal immigrants faces lawsuits accusing him of harassing and unlawfully imprisoning people."\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/24/us/24border.html

Yes they would be in Heaven illegally and I can say that God would deport them back to Hell.

Hey, your english is not very good.  Are you an immigrant? No, I'm not going to "over shop" my whole life...and I also know it's highly improbably that 12 million people will be deported.  It's just not possible.  But we can sure as heck do our best to stop letting people in for awhile...and deport SOME of them.  I say start with the ones who don't pay taxes or put much money into our economy.  \n\nTell me, 20 guys who carpool to work in the same car, and share one house...how much are they really putting back in to the economy???  Not much...won't miss 'em.

That's a tough one.  To answer it correctly, we'd have to collect a whole bunch of stupid people and question their motives.  When are you available?

I would hope not since they obviously did something to be deported in the first place.

Yes, it's hypocritical and exploitative to perpetuate having 12 million people as second class citizens.
769598
I've heard estimates ranging from 12 billion to 100 billion.

millions would be my guess

It matters the level of immunity that you have, and that usually depends on your status (ie royalty -vs- diplomat -vs- head of state).  Yes, there are some people with such a high level of diplomatic immunity that they could actually murder someone and the worse thing that our legal system could do would be to deport them.  Which would be difficult as they can't even be detained.

Nope. Illegal is Illegal. Deport them no matter where they come from.

i think 300 million is too many.

Um...no. and if someone was I should hope they aren't silly enough to tell everyone.\n\nPredators could then begin working on coming to kidnap them.
