Okay, folks, here we go again...One of the most valid arguments against banning all guns in the U.S. (which, mind you, NO ONE has ever actually tried to do with any traction, but that aside) is that the problem simply isn't feasible. There are just too many guns out there to possibly get rid of them all, so regulation is the only possible way to go and, believe it or not, most reasonable gun advocates support it wholeheartedly.
The thing is, if you swap out the word gun with the word immigrant in that rational, you end up with just as valid a point. There is no way to, "send them all back," and not just because it would quite literally cripple our already ailing economy. So give them papers, make them pay taxes like the rest of the working poor and problem solved.
You only get to use the argument for one if you're willing to accept it for the other.
