Support wholesale immigration - I dare you

[quote]"Under my leadership, we will use all necessary state, local, federal, and military resources to carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history," Trump told the CPAC audience Saturday. "We will pick them up, and we will throw them out of our country, and there will be no questions asked."

We complain about money and financial issues now. What’s another $114 billion (American Progress)? 2/3 of those who’ve stayed illegally did so more than a decade ago. How will all these people be found when we can’t get local guys on warrants? Over 20 years, it’s estimated the cost to the US public would stretch to $500 billion. Of course, it’s much more fiscally responsible not to deport people (Center for Immigration Studies), but why miss a good opportunity at nationalism and racism?

@jshm2 Why the need? Why detrimental effect have we felt with the addition of working, tax-paying unauthorized immigrants? Certainly development, construction and real estate are providing tens of thousands of jobs.

@Graylight Even unauthorized immigrants have always been a net positive on the US economy, and they have a lower crime rate than the rest of the US. I understand people being opposed to illegal immigration on principle, but they shouldn't pretend that immigrants are taking jobs or damaging the economy. Often, it isn't a principled opposition, but a racist one.
