An immigration thought experiment
By Chris Kelly   ·   June 08, 2005 03:43 AM

Here's a question for those who support guest worker programs and/or for those who don't strongly oppose illegal immigration:

If we absolutely had to deport a significant portion of the illegal aliens currently in the U.S. as quickly as possible, how could we do it? If you need numbers, assume 1 to 2 million within 6 months. Please give a specific plan and succinctly describe two or three scenarios (favorable, unfavorable) for how that plan might work out from beginning to end.

Rules:
1. This is just a thought experiment, no advocacy for or against is implied by my asking or your answering this question.
2. Please answer the original question, not related questions.
3. Assume that the deportation is an absolute requirement that everyone (or almost everyone) in the U.S. government agrees has to be done. However, to create possibly over-complicated scenarios, you might consider cases where various other groups are opposed or in favor of the plan.
4. If necessary, you can assume this plan would be started after a guest worker program of your choice had been in operation for a whle.

If you want to respond, please do so only by sending a trackback to this post and I'll post a summary in a future post. Others could help out by spreading word about this experiment to bloggers who fit the description given in the first sentence of this post.
