Assume for a moment that Ted Cruz is elected president and makes good on his threat to deport 12 million people without papers. How would he do that?

Hopefully this never happens, but you can’t discount anything at this point.

Some questions:

1) how would they locate and identify the 12 million without stopping everyone else on the street to see if they were ‘legal’. In other words, would this Cruz initiative lead to a neo-Nazi “show me your papers” American society?

2) would there be a legal process, or simply – bring them to the border?

3) suppose the country of origin doesn’t accept the people back? Would Cruz have them executed?

4) What’s the status of the children of the 12 million who were born in the USA and are citizens?

Cruz scares the hell out of me.

But just how would this policy be carried out?
