“The Romney/Miller view is that there are too many illegal immigrants living and working in the United States to artisanally deport them one by one, so we should instead create circumstances under which they are incentivized to “self-deport.” In a self-deportation paradigm, it’s not just that targeting is unnecessary, it’s actually counterproductive — ICE agents instead need to be raiding restaurants and Home Deport parking lots. The goal of enforcement isn’t to maximize the number of people caught, and it’s certainly not to make sure we’re catching the worst of the worst. It’s to make as many people as possible feel unsafe. Arresting people as they voluntarily comply with orders to appear in court is a good strategy because it makes people give up their home and stop trying to work within the system.”
