In fact many illegal immigrants are more committed to law-abiding behavior because they know any run-in with law may result in deportation.

Excellent point!

This is stupid, unworkable and would be polical suicide for anyone who attempted to propose such a thing.

I don't think the Buchananites have any idea of the cost in money or strain on the moral fabric of our society that their "let's jus build a fence and ship 'em all back to Africa...wait, I'm a hatin' Mexskins today...I mean Mexico" plan would incure. They seem to think that deporting 8 million people will be no trouble at all with no repercusion to our economy or way of life.

And they seem to think that American voters will have no trouble with blowing the limbs off Mexican children as they cross a landmine strewn border.

If conservative means giving up my humanity...then I'm not conservative.

We can't let these radicals put an ugly face on conservativism.
Thank God Bush is in office. We can get control of our borders without becoming the hateful and meanspirited stereo-types Dems try to paint us as.

Did you study rhetoric under James Carville? Or is it simply that you don't know what a strawman fallacy is?

Here, this Bud's for you:
