See my post #225.
The choice is not between a blanket amnesty or mass deportation. Attrition thru enforcement is the solution. The proponents of amnesty like to create this false choice so that once you realize the logistics and costs involved in deporting ALL the lawbreakers, you must legalize their presence. Phony strawman.
Actually you are providing the straw man......there are many of us who do not think it’s either deport or legalization. We agree with you that attrition is the key....where you and I disagree is on where to start the attrition. I would start with the government....the hand outs. Why? Because these are far more damaging to our economy than the workers. AND because it was government that caused the problem....business is normally trying to survive the government caused problems (Ch of Commerce types notwithstanding....).
Right now I am happy to accept locating all criminally violent illegals and deport them first. Only candidate with a chance to win nomination who is talking about it is Donald Trump.
And building a wall...again only candidate with a chance to win nomination who is talking about it is Donald Trump.
Is Bush talking about it?
Is Walker talking about it?
Is Rubio talking about it?
Is Carson talking about it?
Is Cruz talking about it?
Is Paul talking about it?
Donald Trump started talking about the murdering, raping illegals. I give him his due.
