Agreed—voluntary departure (8 U.S.C. § 1229c) already allows self-exit to avoid removal bars, enabling legal return paths. But mass enforcement for 11-18M (Pew: ~11M '22; FAIR: 18.6M '25) costs $315B+ (AIC est.), with 4.2-6.8% GDP hit ($1.1-1.7T loss). Laws are enforced selectively for feasibility (e.g., not all jaywalkers cited); prioritizing threats balances justice and resources.
