#1 well, now that that has failed, how about a dragnet for all those who wouldn't self-deport? Take a few of the open-borders assholes too. They want to recreate their third-world hellholes here? Let em live it for a while in-situ

#2 This was one of those "if you don't believe people pay enough taxes, go ahead and kick in more yourself" type government opportunities that in the end show its all talk. Self Deportation = the real amnesty program. Now lets enforce the exiting laws to their fullest extent without any further talk of "amnesty", which is just another political code word of saying non-enforcement.

#3 The program was criticized for offering little incentive for illegal immigrants to step forward since they would be barred from returning to the United States for as long as a decade.

Without that measure, this would have become a free vacation ticket to their homelands at taxpayer expense.

#4 "Quite frankly, I think this proves the only method that works is enforcement."

Wow. What a concept...

#5 Tucson Police Dept. cannot make inquiries of citizenship even when a crime has been committed. Tucson Unified School District asks only for a local address. Arizona Dept. of Economic Security (food stamps, assistance, etc.) has Mexican plated cars in its parking lots. The entire region here in southern Arizona is "don't ask, don't tell" pc turf. So why should anyone voluntarily turn themselves in?

#6 And I forgot to add, Mexican plated cars regularly drop off children to Tucson's schools. And the feds ("No Child Left Behind") are continually puzzled why (English language) test scores are so abominable down here...
