Illegals, deport them all!
July 10, 2009
Words on the lips of so many in America. “Deport them all!” All of course being quite literally all 20 million illegal immigrants estimated to be living in the US today. I cant imagine how accurate that estimate really is, I Googled “illegal aliens statistics” to come up with it, but for our purposes as you will see that number should suffice.
Lets do a thought experiment and plan the deportation of 20 million illegal immigrants from the US. The goal of a thought experiment is to explore the potential consequences of a principle in question, in our case “The Illegal Immigrant Question“.
We will be realistic yet aggressive in our time line. Lets say we give ourselves ten years to complete the task. Simple math tells us we must average, (20,000,000 [deportees]/3,650 [days in ten years]), 5,480 deportations per day, every day, including holidays to achieve our ten year goal.
Gather them up thoroughly!
Where will we get our 5,480 deportees? That’s about 109 people per day from each state, but populations of illegals are likely not to be so evenly spread, and we can guess that deportees will come out of some states in bulk. How will we find our deportees in the states? Will they come willingly? Will we need armed force to ‘clear’ some neighborhoods? Do you want armed force ‘clearing’ your neighborhood? Are we prepared to use armed force, mortally if needed? Will Illegals find sympathetic citizens willing to hide them? Are we prepared to use force against the sympathetic citizenry? Where will the money to finance the forces needed to do this, every day for ten years, come from?
Process them efficiently!
Once deportees are located some measure of due process must occur somewhere. Deportees will need to be transported, (by bus, by train, or by plane), and consolidated into concentrated camps for efficient “processing”. Processing means identifying the Deportees, and their family, checking their legal status, and gathering necessary information such as their country of origin in order to determine where to send ‘them’ back to. The processing might need to include interrogations to help us find other illegals the deportee may know. How long this part of the process might take is hard to say. What is certain is that 5,480 deportees will be arriving to these camps every day including Christmas for ten years, and that even if we take a conservative estimate of one week to transport, process, interrogate, and then deport each illegal, then we will need to provide shelter somewhere for at least 38,360 humans on any given day for ten years straight. In addition these people will need to eat, so we must include in our plan 115,080 meals per day. How will the transportation, shelter and sustenance stuffs for the deportees be funded? Can the deportees help to defray some of the costs in some way? Can they be made to pay for their deportation if they have the means? Can the property of deportees be seized for payment purposes? Can deportees in the camps ‘labor’ to pay for their deportation costs or at least to defray their housing costs?
Get rid of them permanently!
If our plan works after one week the steady flow if deportees out of the country should begin. 5,480 each day, every day for ten years will board a bus or a train, to take them to a plane or a ship, and deliver them to the borders of their country of origin. We can assume some countries will be receiving deportees in bulk. For our purposes I Googled “Mexican Illegals Stats” and came up with an estimate that Mexicans make up 70% percent of the illegal immigrant population. That is on average 3,836 Mexicans per day, every day, or 115,080 Mexicans every month, being brought to the border. Can Mexico absorb these people? Will there be camps on the borders to receive them? Is there a chance Mexico will ask us to stop the deportations? What will we do if Mexico demands we stop the deportations? What if the World demands we stop the deportations? Are we willing to go to war over the issue or can we get rid of our 5,480 deportees per day another way? Can we justify another way?
History repeats itself!
“On October 30, 1939 Himmler ordered the deportation of all Jews from the incorporated territories of Nazi Germany. This was to be accomplished by ‘combing through’ the new territories from North and west, at a deportation rate of 5,000 Jews per day.”… Quote from The Origins of the Final Solution By Christopher R. Browning
I hope by now you have come to the thought that America can not deport its problems, and that the public debate to do so must end.
