Would you have him physically deport 40 or 50 million people? How? Explain to us all how that gets done in the current climate. We’re all ears. And you’re against LEGAL immigration, too? How did your ancestors get here?
Would you have him physically deport 40 or 50 million people? How? Explain to us all how that gets done in the current climate.Not to hijack a thread onto a different topic, but I would suggest we start deporting illegal aliens "one at a time" if we have to and work up from there as our resources and capabilities allow. The Border Patrol folks know how to execute that plan just fine. We just need the leadership in place to let them know "this is the policy" and that they will be supported in executing that policy.
But back to the thread topic... For me, it's Cruz over Sessions any day, every day, all day long. Nothing against Sessions, but Cruz has what it takes to rock the "gotcha" media back on it's heels and come out clean. And let's be perfectly clear -- regardless of who the GOP runs, the media can be *ONLY* be relied upon to dogpile the GOP candidate(s) in a tightly coordinated fashion.
Whoever that GOP candidate is, they had *better* be able to think on their feet and undermine the media's efforts with ease. Cruz (I think) can do that and stay on offense against the media. Nowadays, that's probably the larger part of the campaign battle: Not getting stuck playing defense to the media.
The Census Bureau and Pew Research say 12 million.
We don't need to deport anyone. Deny them public assistance. Prosecute their employers. Assist American workers in filing lawsuits against their employers. When the money disappears, the illegals will disappear.
Re: “Explain to us all how that gets done in the current climate.”
We support political leaders who want to change the political climate.
Re: “And you’re against LEGAL immigration, too?”
No, and never have been.
I support unlimited immigration for anyone who can obtain a written employment contract paying at least $175,000 per year.
Everyone else, please stay home and vote Socialist in your native country.
Re: “How did your ancestors get here?”
The same way every ancestor of every human being in the history of the world got to their native country:
They walked out of southern Africa 100,000 years ago.
