We should deport illegal aliens. I can be done directly and indirectly, such cutting of welfare and jobs. Eisenhower deported many - so have Iran and other countries.

By giving illegal aliens special perks and promising amnesty will only encourage many others, such as terrorists and violent criminals, to cross the border.

When you penalize something, you get less of it.
