The issue he has with revoking citizenship for children born in this country is that he would have to repeal the Fourteenth Amendment. That's not gonna happen.
As to deporting 11 million people (or 30 million, or however many there actually are), constitutional guarantees of due process apply. Each deportation will require a hearing, attorneys (the government pays for both sides of the argument), judges, courtroom time, etc. Processing that many people through deportation would take decades, and most would be allowed to stay.
He's taking a shotgun approach to a narrowly defined problem, wanting to shoot everybody in a crowd where only some are causing trouble.
We obviously need to identify and deport the felons. The rest need to repay any welfare they've received illegally, pay any back taxes, court fines for traffic and misdemeanors they may owe, pass a drug test, have a job, and -- because they jumped to the front of the line by coming in illegally -- not be granted citizenship until everyone from their country who got here legally has also been granted citizenship through the legitimate process.
Ironically, that plan is already out there. It is shared by Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina.
