Give illegals limbo status: a green card with an asterisk
Immigrants who can't be sent back due to the magnitude of the problem should not be given citizenship--no amnesty should be granted.
Maybe a "green card" with an asterisk could be issued. This in-between status, keeping illegal immigrants in limbo, will be said that it will create a class of 2nd-class citizens. Yet it could be argued that it may well
allow some immigrants who come here illegally a beneficial status without automatic citizenship--a much better option than deportation.

Sending 12M illegals home won't & shouldn't happen
Even with a healthy economy and stricter border controls, the issue of what to do with twelve-million-plus illegals already here would persist. One side says use the U.S. Army, round them up, and ship them home. The other side says give them amnesty, make them full-fledged citizens, and reward the lawbreakers, thus insulting and unfairly penalizing those who have patiently waited and obeyed our immigration laws. The first choice--sending twelve to fifteen million illegals home--isn't going to happen and should not happen. Neither the determination or the ability to accomplish it exists. Besides, if each case is looked at separately, we would find ourselves splitting up families and
deporting some who have lived here for decades, if not their entire life, and who never lived for any length of time in Mexico.
