One and three are doable now. You know who the citizens and criminals are.Seems reasonable as an end-point. Not many, I'm sure, would disagree (but I may be wrong on that point).
The question is more how one should go about and achieving this, given the current state of things (I don't mean LA, I mean the number of illegals in the country).
Maybe what I'm asking is this: do you think the current approach by the Trump administration is heavy-handed, and one that was almost guaranteed to spark unrest, pushback? Do you think there are better ways?
FWIW, Stephen Miller (who I've seen excellently described as "America's least huggable gnome, crossed with Voldemort") has been reported to have been "screaming" at ICE officials for not doing enough, and that he wants at least 3,000 arrests a day. And not just at the border, but across the country, as border crossings are way down and so the level of deportations will otherwise drop. And the optics of that somehow wouldn't look good.
For evaluation you would need to set up groups of evaluators. Maybe five people in each. All should have center of the road politics. A legal expert, a person knowledgable about actual conditions in other countries, a psychologist, a sociologist, and an economist. Those that pass can stay. The rest must leave.
