>The concept of rounding up 11 million people (keep in mind a lot of these are families no less) and shipping them back to where they came from is simply impractical, cold hearted, and ridicilious. If such a ludicious plan was even attempted, inevitably what's going to happen is you'll have a few..errr..10+ million FAMILIES locked up somewhere..uhh..probably 99% of which would be Mexican. gee..kinda sounds like Hitler's Germany to me! Ha..one time "fee". There is a lot more at stake in doing something like that than the dollars it's going to cost. If some bozo politician gets something like that passed I'll be one of the people standing in the street waving a sign.

Why? If they pay for their becoming legal, and start paying taxes henceforth - they are financing the social cost of their stay here just like everybody else.

The businesses may not like that, but I'd surely like to see them normally salaried and normally taxed.
