I'd be willing to employ that process AS AN INITIAL step. But then, more drastic measures will likely be necessary.

Why? We'll never get the number of illegals down to zero and after a while you hit the point of diminishing returns when it comes to effort. If we get the number of illegals down to less than five million within a decade, that would be a major victory.

Why? Because they don't belong here. They will belong here when they come here legally, like my mother did.

"Why? We'll never get the number of illegals down to zero and after a while you hit the point of diminishing returns when it comes to effort."

I wouldn't want to be with you in a foxhole, for not only would you quickly surrender, you'd like give the rest of us up, as well. Your logic, employing another example, is this: We'll never get the number of criminals down to zero, so after we arrest some of them, we'll leave it at that. I don't want to live in a society that takes only half measures on issues of critical importance, and then feels faint with what little effort it expended in the first place, and then calls it quits. What you described is France. I don't want to live in France, but you apparently do.

"We'll never get the number of illegals down to zero and after a while you hit the point of diminishing returns when it comes to effort. If we get the number of illegals down to less than five million within a decade, that would be a major victory."

I agree with you -- if the illegal horde of illegals could be reduced to "less than five million within a decade," it WOULD be a major victory. In two decades, maybe that number could be reduced further by half of that. But we won't be able to reduce it AT ALL without a MAJOR plan and committment.

As to this so-called "point of diminishing returns," one never endeavors that they will lose the battle before the charge -- It is this cynical, defeatist attitude which prevents America from turning back this poisonous tide of PC Liberalism and New World Ordered multiculturism, and taking back OUR country...

So pick up your sword, get back on your horse and CHARGE!
