“What does a humane deportation plan look like?” Change the incentives. Make it more attractive to live outside of America than it is to live in America illegally. - Massive fines and imprisonment of employers who break the law by employing illegal immigrants. - Remove healthcare and other benefits from illegal immigrants for anything except life threatening emergencies. - Pay them $5k - $10k if they leave voluntarily. It costs $17k to force deport. - Fix legal immigration so we can bring in legal immigrants we need for jobs - Tone down the rhetoric. Tone down the emphasis on violent criminals. We know some illegal immigrants are violent. And most are not. - When all else fails, after a year or more, forced deportations with clear, advance notice.

And so it’s said - the 1 year notice isn’t to be nice. Our economy is currently reliant on illegal immigrant labor. Businesses need to time to transition from illegal labor to legal labor forces. 1 year gives them time. Giving 1 year notice also is likely to pacify those people being deported to an extent. Many of them will just leave when benefits are removed and resettlement incentives are offered. The more abrupt and sudden the deportations, the more resistance there will be, and the harder the whole project becomes.
