You've taken your own thread off-topic.

Your premise is not about the threat of illegal aliens in the US, but what you say is a relatively simple solution - a sort of self check-out lane for deportation.

All replies to you have addressed this premise. Your links about TB, leprosy, etc, are not relevant, and in my opinion, only mask your inability to defend a flawed approach to controlling illegal aliens already living in the country.

Mask my inability to defend a flawed approach to controlling illegal aliens already living in the country?

I already said I agree 100% with Mr. Sowell on this and dont believe it's "flawed":

Just as people can do many things better for themselves than the government can do those things for them, illegal aliens could begin deporting themselves if they found that their crime of coming here illegally was being punished as a serious crime, and that they themselves were no longer being treated as guests of the taxpayers when it comes to their medical care, the education of their children, and other welfare state benefits. As a matter of fact, there is historical evidence which supports Mr. Sowell.

OPERATION WETBACK.

Operation Wetback deported approximately 80,000 Mexican nationals in the space of almost a year, although local INS officials claimed that an additional 500,000-700,000 had fled to Mexico before the campaign began. The INS estimates rested on the claim that most undocumented people, fearing apprehension by the government, had voluntarily repatriated themselves before and during the operation.
I believe Thomas Sowell is correct. I believe Illegal aliens who are caught on our soil, prosecuted and found to have violated our immigration law must be punished with a minimum one year sentence to hard labor…cleaning our roadways, painting our public buildings, maintaining our city parks, etc., and then deported. When the word gets our that getting caught means a jail term and then deportation, instead of medical care, education of their children and other welfare benefits, self deportation will quickly start.

Now Zippy, do you have a better solution to "controlling illegal aliens already living in the country"? And, just what is the flaw you assert exists in Sowell's approach?
