There is no way of deporting millions of people without processing them through camps or detention centers of some sort.

> They can come back, but they have to do it legally, through the Legal Immigration Process, like everyone else.

Which visa would a typical Mexican person apply for to immigrate to the US legally?

Well, gonna have to research how Obama and Bush did it. If they can do it, Trump should be able to do the same thing.

Well, how I came was, I had to apply for a Green Card to become a resident (legal immigrant) of the United States.

You can also apply for any work related visas that you qualify for (work visa is temporary residency only). Or, you can marry a U.S. citizen (permanent citizenship).

The good thing is, Trump plans to make the Immigration Process more efficient and faster for people who are legally migrating to the United States.

They process them through detention centers.

Citizens of Mexico are not eligible for the green card lottery, so there is no way they can just "apply" for a green card. They would have to come on some kind of visa first.

> You can also apply for any work related visas that you qualify for

Most people do not qualify for any such visas. Mexicans can get NAFTA visas if they have the right kind of job offer (until Trump does away with NAFTA, of course), but those are nonimmigrant visas, and almost certain to be denied to people who have family in the US, since this would be taken as indication of immigrant intent.

>Or, you can marry a U.S. citizen

Difficult when you are living in Mexico.

Well, it makes sense now why Trump said he wants to streamline the immigration process.

Another thing though is, the United States can not save everyone. In this case, Mexico will have to negotiate with Trump, if they want to send their people to the United States.

Maybe Mexico can even agree to build a wall, in return for Green Cards...

You disgust me.
Eww. You're disgusting. Get away from me.
