Uh, how many of them came right back?
That was 50 years ago.
Ever hear of the word "Lawyer?"
What happens when these "Criminal Aliens" start shooting back?
How many soldiers(as opposed to Marines)/policemen/Vigilantes per Alien do you think it will take to "Deport" them?
Exactly which part of the Federal/State/Local Government will be expanded to provide the few hundred thousand or so folks needed to "round up" these criminals? Who's paying for it? And don't say we'll save the money from reduced Social Services, we tried that in CA.
What's to keep them from coming right back?
I have a friend in SF who along with his parents came from Hong Kong in the 60's. First thing they did was to change their first names to something they thought was Americanized. (William Wong, e.g.) The next thing they did was get a job, in fact several jobs. Right after that, they took the money they hid during the "passage" and bought a house. They now own several houses. They have since this time brought over several more relatives, and their sons and daughters are married and have children.
Now what's funny about this is that the Parents never bothered to learn English and the sons and daughters never bothered to worry about their "Legal" status, because they were too busy making and spending money and raising families.
My final question to you is: What are we going to do with these people? Do we deport just the Grand-Parents and Parents or the whole lot (as in a WHOLE lot)? Of course you'll seize their property, too, right? Or does the fact that they have been hardworking, semi-law-abiding, assult weapon owning (oh yes, let's see the hands of the CA Freepers that Registered their "Assult Weapons" as required by law), anti-abortion, pro-family, economy expanding, property owning, Conservative (but non-voting, or so you'd think) residents for the last few decades count for nothing?
All this brouhaha over my President making a suggestion to solve a "problem"...
That's a little disengenuous. That number is almost the same number that EVERY administration has deported, not just Ike.
