The Assyrians and Babylonians had no trouble carrying out mass deportations. Why should we?
You pay for it.

CAP’s $114 billion estimate also includes the cost to detain these individuals while they wait for removal, to process them through the immigration courts and to transport them abroad.
While $114 billion represents a startling sum of money, it is only the direct cost of physically deporting unauthorized immigrants. The cost to the overall economy would likely be far more.
The conservative American Action Forum, or AAF, has argued that it would take 20 years to accomplish a mass deportation program, with a full cost between $420 billion and $620 billion.
This higher estimated cost includes both the direct costs of deportations and the hundreds of millions of dollars it would take for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, to remove 11.3 million people, on top of its responsibilities for border and interior security, over 20 years.
Beyond being prohibitively costly and morally unsustainable, removing so many individuals from the country—and from the labor force—would devastate the nation: The Bipartisan Policy Center calculates that deporting all unauthorized immigrants would shrink the labor force by 6.4 percent over two decades, which AAF estimates would decrease U.S. gross domestic product, or GDP, by a full $ 1.6 trillion.
On the flip side, putting unauthorized immigrants on a pathway to citizenship—which two-thirds of Americans support—would add a cumulative $1.2 trillion to the GDP over a decade, increase the earnings of all Americans by $625 billion and create an average of 145,000 new jobs each year.

I don't see how it this will benefit U.S.
I was a legal immigrant (now American citizen). If they all get legalized, I want all the money back that I spent legally moving to the US. That would include all filing, photocopy and special delivery mailing fees, health inspections, finger prints, and travel and meal expenses to and from doctors, police stations and every occasion that I drove across the state for in-person interviews.
Make the H2 dual-intent. That is all the legalization we will ever need and will pretty much solve the illegal immigration problem while also leading to people who have jobs paying normal wages, speak English, are not on welfare, etc.
With dual-intent H2 visas available, it will be much easier to crack down on felons and drug traffickers crossing the border with the flow of illegal aliens seeking otherwise legal employment (if they were legal to work).

It's in the budget they just passed. The checks in the mail. You have every right to be outraged when you went about it correctly and they give illegals the free pass.
Money over principle. Neither of which has ever mattered to Democrats.
Not really. We have never funded the immigration task to the levels that would actually allow enforcement. Thus we really do not have enforceable laws against illegal immigration. And it appears we do not have the public support needed to go down that route.
By leaving the situation in the present status we also invite a continued and potentially expanded entry of illegal aliens.
Mexico has the same problem with Guatemalans on its south border. And it actually does no better than the US in enforcing its laws. Mexicans farmers like the Guatemalans because they claim they work harder and cheaper than the locals.
