It seems like the best way forward in my opinion is you create a path to citizenship if they come forward.


An absolutely horrible idea. Do you not see how that would incentivize more to come here? Jesus, that’s stupid.

It’s also the end goal of progressives and why they left the border open for four years. Mass amnesty, boom. Permanent dem leadership.

We're gonna spend more trying to move them out then we are fixing the systems that got us here is my fear. How much does mass deportation cost? Trump said no limits on how much he'll spend but you've clearly outlined a cost limit here on what we should spend.

The cost of deportation is a one-time expense. The cost of offering a "path to citizenship" option that you proposed and admitted would be a "slow process", still carries a recurring expense of over half a trillion dollars per year.

Spend money to deport right now. Remain in Mexico policy while cases are reviewed. Work on streamlining the legal immigration process while they remain in Mexico, and save money down the road. Lots of money. It's that easy.

You're refusing to look at the economic benefit of making them legal members of society who pay taxes.... That's additional tax revenue , workers to fill jobs, and demand for us goods.
