Have you illegally entered another country? So you think we should assume they didn't know they were doing something wrong when they had to "buy" a SS#, and use a name not their own?

I'm not arguing the legality of what they have done. It is obviously illegal. However talking about deporting them or self deportation is realistically a non starter. It simply won't happen. What are they going to do to make it happen? Kick in doors and ID everyone?
I am looking for realistic solutions instead of ideological ones.
As for the SSN part. They many times, I'd say over 50%, do not file taxes. So they are paying all that money into the system without trying to get tax returns. That is a big financial windfall for the federal gov.

Illegal immigrantrs come here for financial gain so if the incentive to come/stay here goes away then people will leave. They may not all leave but it's a start at least. Another problem is having a president that doesn't allow authorities to do their job.

Rules of society don't apply to members of societies without rules.
I'm not self righteous enough to look down on any of our southern neighbors who sneak into this country hoping for a better life without poverty, corruption, sickness & death, and no opportunity. I expect the most determined to sneak in out of moral fortitude, not a lack thereof.
In all fairness the Dems only care about their party power as well. The reason they want a path to citizenship is that they assume it will give them that many more votes. Nothing more and nothing less.
The only catch is that their path to party power conveniently involves doing the right thing in this case.
Well, this would be an entirely different discussion if the immigrants slipping over the border without caring to apply for and follow the legal pathways were bible-thumping human rights believers who want the protections of the American Constitution for their protection against overlord governance.
The Democrats would be howling to police the border, and arrest the illegals and ship them home.

This time it does involve doing some of the right thing in my opinion. Occassionally that happens to one side or the other. But their motivation is not pure. Their motivation is power.
