Is the best solution to the problem plaguing the US immigration system to export nearly all immigrants and start over?

After Columbus discovered America in 1492 many European settlers came to find their happiness and ability to follow their dreams in the promised land. The settlers kept the native Americans down by the minute they entered America. So in fact the United States consist of immigrants. They also have this global status. Today the US are facing an immigration issue. This is discussed in the podcast "United States of Anxiety" produced by the Nation and WNYC Studios.

The biggest problem of immigration in the US is that they have an enormous number of illegal immigrants. But even Trump which has his roots not in the US makes no distinction between legal and illegal immigrants. He wants to deport them all. Alongside with the number of illegal immigrants goes that the US is facing terrorism. This produces fear for the population. This was his goal during his election to the new President.

But the real problem is that more than 10 million illegal immigrants live in the US. So this reveals how open the borders are. Furthermore illegal immigrants endanger the safety in the view of many Americans. The issue with the security is the major topic of the immigration. It remains to be seen if the US will isolate themselves from the world or if they keep being the promised land to live the American Dream for every one.
