When Trumpublicans talk about "deporting all illegal immigrants" I don't think they realize just what a large number they're talking about.
Assuming their number of 11 million undocumented immigrants is correct, let's put that into perspective.
For those in the Northeast Corridor, that's like the population of New York City plus the population of Philadelphia.
For those in the North, that's like the population of Wisconsin plus the population of Minnesota.
For those in the Rust Belt, that's like the population of Ohio.
For those in the South, that's like the population of Georgia.
For those in the far west that would be the population of Arizona, New Mexico, and most of Utah.
You're talking about 4 out of every 100 people across the entire US population. Think about the logistics of what that would take. Not to mention the expense. Then there are the government structures needed to find them, detain them, process them, and give them the constitutional due process to which they are entitled.
Good luck.
Better carry your papers.
