But if you can grant amnesty to all of them, you can deport them. It's the same mechanism. Police do this all the time - send letters out to people with outstanding warrants telling them to come claim a prize, and the prize they get is an arrest.
We are talking about felons. People who broke the law either to come here or to stay here past their visas. And they all are aware of the seriousness of their crime, and knew the consequences.
The billions we are wasting on the war on drugs can be diverted to this effort.
I'm open to one kind of amnesty. Allow any undocumented person to enlist in the armed forces, and grant citizenship at the successful completion of an enlistment term.
