No problem. You pack 200 people on the plane and that's 4260 USD per
person, which is a bargain!! Imagine how much they would cost the US tax
payer during a life time living as illegals, commiting crimes, clogging
the system, using public resources meant for tax payers, stealing time
from volunteers that could be used for work instead etc. etc.

So 4260 USD per person is nothing! Also note that once the machinery kicks
in, the price will drop even further.

I could also imagine that to further offset any costs, any potential money
and property owned by illegal immigrants could be confiscated and sold.

In fact, I'll email our lord and saviour right now with some of my ideas
and maybe he will let me run the Department of Deportation!! =D

September 1, 1999 - More than 114 billion pennies are estimated to be
in active circulation throughout the United States today, which
equates to almost 426 pennies for every man, woman, and child in the
country.

That makes sense, when you see people with their penny jars and piggy
banks. I no longer actively collect coins, but I still have my
collection. Aside from a good bit of silver, I probably have thousands
of pennies in my possession.
