Of course deporting illegals is workable. Instead of having our soldiers die overseas we should have them posted on our borders.
Illegal aliens are criminals. If the people in other countries choose to over-breed, this does not mean we have to take in their surplus and their deviants.
This is a bad situation as I see it. Any additions, deletions, or changes?
The Hispanic population will continue to grow faster than others.
Amnesty will not stop illegal immigration...
But amnesties and illegal immigration with both continue into the foreseeable future.
Also, illegal immigrants will not be deported won't happen.
Any atempt at mass deportation will invoke riots (fires/lootings/shootings/etc) in cities across the country.
And a two language nation (like Canada) may very well evolve here.
Meanwhile, the growing illegal population grows the underground economy...
And the underground economy is a drain on the national economy.
A massive subculture is the last thing we need.
Presently, most illegals live in poverty...
And people living in poverty tend to be a big Democrat constituancy.
Illegals, by definition, are fugitives...
And more fugitives will cause more problems as they prey on us to survive.
Therefore, they will be legalized (via amnesty) and they will become voters.
They will also become tax payers.
How many potential voters are we talking about?
No party can afford to concede that many votes. That's the political reality.
If we don't assimilate them under our terms, they will assimilate themselves under their own terms.
Without assimilation, all the problems you can think of will become more and more unmanageable and much more expensive to solve.
People like Trancredo can change what is happening, but not what has already happened.
This all represents the price we must pay for generations of open borders.
We can't let wishful thinking overshadow reality.
