I'm not hypothesizing a slippery slope scenario. I'm discussing the very real outcomes of mass deportation. One of those outcomes is the deportation of American citizens. By the hundreds, if not thousands.
Well you're correct. We have a very refined process for the criminal justice system. And if we adopted that system for mass deportation, it would cost trillions upon trillions of dollars in legal fees alone.Its like saying that if you support punishing criminals, you also support punishing innocents cause sometimes the justice system makes mistakes. Rather just refine the process to minimize such errors instead of tolerating law breakers.
Each person alleged to be an alien would have their day in court. There would be a jury trial that would determine their illegal status. Then they'd have several avenues for appeals. More jury trials, etc.. And finally, after 10 or 15 years, after they've gone through the process, we could deport them. Now do that 11 million times. Is that what you'd like to implement?
