This is where we keep falling short. People who are in the country illegally are criminals. If we provide for transportation of illegals out of the country, it should function as an amnesty program. The illegals admit to being criminals, assume the status of a criminal in the eyes of our government for all further reference, but we do not prosecute them. This is amnesty.
Since they admit to being criminals, then if they try to come back in for another free plane ride, they will be ineligible because they are admited criminals.
But the program has no real appeal or function unless we are actually enforcing the law against illegal entry and residence in the US. Once we start doing that in earnest, we might be able to expand the program for other countries like Asia, Africa and Europe.
This would be amnesty I think everyone here could stand behind.
