I think it may take over 30 years and maybe as many as 300 to round up and deport all of the illegals. I came up with the 30 year estimate by taking the over 2 million dpeorted by Obama in 8 years. Although that was the most ever by a president I will make that the base. In the first week of the Trump deportations they did 680. If you use that as the number to be deported every week, it will take over 300 years to deport all of the 11 million still in the US. That is of course if we can keep any more from getting here. Now I know many think that the Fence on our southern border will do that, but that just makes me laugh. It may slow it up, but stop the influx, NOT. And then the cost. I have read estimates of building the fence from as low as 15 billion to a high of 30 billion. And then the cost of maintenance maybe higher than you think as people will either tear it down in placees or just tunnel under it. I wonder how much the total cost of the gathering up and deporting all of the illegals and wonder if it will not be cheaper to just continue to just catch and deport the real dangerous ones and forget about the others? Don't legalize them, just make no effort to deport them.
