Sure, although those random checkpoints, in my view, are so insanely wrong it’s ridiculous. But yes, they could get caught and found out there.

The question is, why the obsession with finding “illegals” and sending them home? It’s hardly a fringe group idea. I’m pretty sure the vast majority of people you talk to would say Yes to the question, “If a person is known to be here illegally, should they be sent back to their home country”. Why that is, I really don’t know.

Personally, I’m on the “residency, not citizenship” boat. The majority of them are decent people, but they did break the law. Get them documented, work out an arrangement of some kind of fine or fee to paid out over X amount of time and the stipulation they will never be eligible for US citizenship, then get to work finding the real criminals, drug dealers, gang members, etc.
