Er. What? Do you have any idea the resources it would require? We're talking about millions of people, and not all of them are obvious illegal immigrants.
What do we do, go around demanding ever hispanic person prove they are citizens? ALL OF THEM? How do you start? What do you do when you have them? Where do you send them? How do hold that many people? What if they challenge it legally, and demand you prove that they are illegally there? What do you do when you inevitably sweep up legal residents? How do you stop them from returning? Where do you get all the police to arrest them? What if their countries of origin refuse to take them back? What if they have children born here, who've only ever lived here? What if they are people who would jump for citizenship if it were offered?
The logistics alone would be staggering! Where would we get that sort of money?!
