"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."
DJT, CPAC

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?

In my opinion "illegal immigration" is a convenient construct to appease those who are opposed to any foreign migrants appearing in their country. It is not illegal to seek the sanctuary and protection of a friendly state. Legal migration generally becomes illegal when the arrangements are not in place for people to obtain the correct paperwork prior to their arrival.

The UK government would rather spend millions on transferring illegal arrivals to Rwanda rather than investing in an immigration service that would speed up the processing of legitimate asylum claims. At the same time our serious shortages of agricultural and care workers, lorry drivers and nurses, is crippling the economy.

The prevailing anti-immigrant sentiment is not just morally compromised, it is economically illiterate.
