Sounds like a good plan to me. You won’t actually have to deport all 12 million. All you have to do is cut off the gubmint $$$ spigot and implement e-verify nationwide. 95% of them will self deport.
Yep, doing all we can to get them to self deport IS the answer!
95% of them have children who are American Citizens. Unless we cut off the spigot to all American children, they are still going to get the benefits. The benefits go to their children.
I want to know if there is any candidate who is on record as saying that every illegal alien must be deported. Not "self-deported", but physically put on a bus to Mexico or Peru and repatriated to their home country.
Anything less than that is "amnesty". At least according to Santorum's definition.
I agree on the attrition argument. Go to the 4:30 mark on this video from Monday and pay special attention to the comments starting at the 8:30 mark.
You don’t have to set through the whole thing and just dragging the icon across to the specific time will get you to those points quickly.
