That chances of a smart indie guy being selected are about as good as my winning the lottery.
Only a few times have I heard anyone rationally consider the logistical impact of removing 12,000,000 individuals and sending them back to 130 separate countries.
Just consider 5,000,000 mexicans, houdurans, Nicaraguans, Costa Ricans, Haitians, Cubans. Because most property rights and state laws state that even an illegal alien may take his/her property with, and may make arrangements to sell/continue to own/trade or use their real property, even after they are evicted from the country, let's assume that the average bus holds 45 adults. OK, a plane can hold 150, assuming all luggage is factored in, but let's stick with buses. Cheap. Plentiful, use readily available diesel fuel, can travel long distances.
we will need 111,111 bus trips just to take the mexicans and other central americans out of here, assuming the countries let them in, or give us permission to even transport over their territory.
If you use airplanes, you will need more than 33,000 separate flights - you are approaching flight levels and logistics of World War II. Even if you rented 100 airplanes, found 250 qualified pilots, 1200 maintenance workers, dedicated a huge airport for this one task, and worked out the flight plans, air rights, ticketing, security, housing, food water, IDs, turn around issues, NOT TO MENTION finding, moving, and storing at one central location these people before their flights, it will still take 3 years to move less than half of the illegal immigrants.
And what of staffing? considering that prisons have anywhere between 10-1 ratios to 6-1 ratios of prisoners to workers, staffers, guards, MDs, etc, even at the most optimistic numbers, we will need 500,000 people to guard, service, move, organize, collate, search, treat, feed and transport 5,000,000 people going back to the closest 6 countries. It gets even worse when you cross to the other side of the globe. Where will we find 500,000 workers capable and trained to do this kind of work? While we are stuck in IRaq and ready to invade Iran?
Best yet is what happens to the 6-7 million we can't catch. The other half go into hiding, and at the same time, the US will be like a vacuum, sucking in replacement immigrants like a major league Hoover.
Of course, those on the right ignore the problems of illegals who have had children here. And guess who gets to stay because they are citizens. Just from the Mexican, Honduran, Salvadorean and Carib populations, we are talking about 3-5 MILLION orphaned US citizens, from ages of 0 to 17. Where will they live? How will they live? Who will care for them?
The sheer logistical job that people face to remove 12,000,000 illegals is simply impossible. Creating peace in Baghdad would be far easier.
