Understand, but with due respect, mass, forcible deportation just is not going to happen. It would be political suicide but more importantly the effort would be for naught because not just one or two but EVERY liberal judge in the country would keep it tied up in court forEVER. And with respect to the children of illegals who were born in the US, I wouldn’t hazard a guess as to where the Supreme Court even as it is today would come down. It may be black and white to you and to many others, but for many this is a gray area legally, and courts also sit as courts of equity in addition to courts of law.
Thus, ideas like this which attempt to mitigate the issue by encouraging self-deportation deserve consideration. There will never be a perfect solution to this dilemma to those who see it as you do. Perhaps the best we can strive for is a compromise that sets a clear standard for the future so this cannot continue to happen, and resolves the issue of those presently here in a way that maintains the intent if not the precise letter of our immigration laws.
I’m dumbfounded by your opening comments. Trump ran on a platform promising to end DADA, deport people on DACA, and all the other illegal aliens in the nation.
Then you respond to me saying this would cost him the next election. LOL So you think him following through and doing what he promised would really offend his followers?
One of the biggest problems with DACA is that it expanded the people who should have been covered by it. I think we call could see the need to come up with something to address thousands of kids on a train. DACA doesn’t only address them.
It addresses an expanded bunch of people who are nothing more than your convention illegal immigrant. Some of them came here much older.
You just watch. That 800,000 figure will become five to ten million, when they are graced in. Others will go to court and demand to be treated like the others.
Courts will allow it.
Signing on to this in any way, ensures millions of these folks will have successfully pulled off what they initially wanted to pull off.
They came across, knowing damn well they could game the system. They came across knowing even folks who profess to support our laws, would do their damnedest to betray these laws.
Not buying it.
Yes, cutting off benies to illegal aliens will help them to self-patriate.
Either we’re law and order people, or we’re kidding ourselves.
