I would describe it as alternative sentencing and far more pratical, reasonable, fair and less expensive than rounding up and deporting millions.

I agree that it would be difficult to deport so many, that is why I think the section of the bill dealing with incentives to get them to leave voluntarily may have some merit.
The last time we granted amnesty there were 2 or 3 million illegals, this time there are 12 to 15 million. If the percentages hold true the next time there could be 50 million or more. Is there any number that we should allow before trying to control it?
About 10 percent of the Mexican population currently resides in the U.S. illegally and with the population growing rapidly and conditions in Mexico so bad, the incentive to come here will only increase. Maybe we can handle them all but I suspect there will be problems with so many.
