The section under "Encouraging aliens to depart voluntarily" may be a way to reduce the number of illegals without having to resort to legal proceedings. Perhaps giving illegals 60 days or so to leave voluntarily before being charged with a crime could be the way for most to depart. Also those who do so could possibly be allowed to get in line to immigrate legally without having their past illegal status held against them. Perhaps most deportation proceedings could be avoided this way.
