Amnesty makes more sense than shipping them out en masse. Getting rid of that many cheap workers all at once would have such a negative impact on the American economy it's not even funny. We're talking many jobs here that most Americans probably don't even want, and certainly not for the pay.
Undocumented workers have been a boon to the rich. What better way to build wealth than to find those desperate for work?
