The Effects of Mass Deportation Would Ruin Us. To say this would be a messy affair would be an understatement of magnificent proportion. SWAT-style assaults and home invasions would be the order of the day. Today’s ruthless, tyrannical drug raids would actually look tame in comparison as government thugs went door to door seeking out suspected illegal aliens. The right to privacy of citizens and non-citizens alike would consequently evaporate as property rights became a thing of the past. Chaos would ensue. Racial tensions would intensify as primarily brown targets would be ensnared by their primarily white captors. Protests and riots would erupt, the merits of which would be hard to dispute.
Children born as American citizens would be seized from their parents, automatically rendered homeless and converted into wards of the state as a result of such totalitarian behavior (Huckabee once seemed to understand the demerits of such atrocious behavior). Human beings who have come to this country to make a better life for themselves and their families would be treated like animals as they were hunted, captured, incarcerated, and eventually deported. And this would merely be the fate of those who complied.
Those who resisted, on the other hand, would not fare nearly as well. They would end up beaten, maimed, tortured, and even killed. If Americans can be electrocuted and shot by the roadside simply for arguing with the police nowadays, just what type of treatment would befall the illegal immigrant suddenly rendered persona non grata via this new Soviet-style diktat?

I’m glad to see someone else writing on the inevitable consequences of anti-immigration policies. If the bigots got their way, it would be the worst act of ethnic cleansing in recorded history. And while it might not actually cause a civil war, I can pretty much guarantee that there would be at least some American citizens voting “no” with rifles when the Gestapo came into their neighborhoods to kick their neighbor’s doors down and drag them away.
