You shouldn't do it for the same reason we shouldn't tell companies "Every 5 years we will have a tax evasion amnesty where you can settle with the government for 10% of what you owe".

It's not hard or cruel to make companies pay all their back taxes. It absolutely is heartless to uproot people from the lives and homes they've built here (while contributing taxes) and send them back to countries they might not even have grown up in.

If there were even a snowball's chance that we would actually start enforcing the immigration laws, this would be a popular plan. Unfortunately people have caught on that amnesty is a never-ending thing once you start. The people pushing for amnesty have no plans to prevent the need for future amnesties.

What plan? All I said was that your analogy doesn't make sense because people aren't just numbers.
