1. Let me get this straight....

are there people really suggesting that twelve million people leave this country, apply for citizenship, and then come back in?

Why?

3. And if they think it WOULD be that easy

why the insistence on the impossibility of deporting them?

4. Don't forget forking over $5,000. And WILL they be able to return? nt

5. That happened back during the war.

The U.S. need ag workers and the government negotiated with the Mexican government to bring in a couple million mexican workers that the U.S. would pay after the war and they returned to Mexico. They returned to Mexico, but the U.S. never paid them.

6. Family heads have to go back within 8 years.

If I understand correctly, the head of the household has to "return home" within eight years and can then come back under the same arrangement as previously, still with no guarantee of permanent legal residence. That and citizenship are still separate processes.

Why indeed?

Pure spite?
