So we're going to have to deal with 10+ million illegals somehow. The answer today is the same as it was in Teddy's day, assimilation. And the obstruction to doing that is liberalism, not the illegals themselves. We need to be fighting the liberals about assimilating new arrivals, rather than beating our heads on the wall of sending illegals home. Because that's just not going to happen, even if it is the "right" thing that should be done.
The Congress and the President are desperate to get this issue off the table, and they will do ANYTHING to America and its real citizens to make that happen. They are worried about votes, not America. Power and control are the top priority in Washington -- not doing what is right for America, and what the WILL OF THE MAJORITY dictates.
Washington is a disgrace and I am sure, a MAJOR embarrasment to our founding fathers.
Teddy would've been horrified to witness the sea of red, white, & green at the "protests" this last week.

No, we need to discourage them from coming here in the first place and provide incentive for the ones already here to march back to their homeland. How? By cutting off their taxpayer freebies and heavily fining employers who hire them.
Why can't Washington grasp this simple formula?
Teddy Roosevelt ping!

Puerto Rico and Panama look out baby cuz here we come. We are looking for a better economic future yo!
That's my Teddy--actually my great-grandmother's second cousin.
Sure glad I am related to Teddy and not Bush. If I were related to Bush, I would expunge the family tree.
No, they will have to deal with you!
Let me explain:
1] the number is low--probably 15 million.
2] about 5 million are here that came here illegally in the 1980s-early 90s and have become citizens but never assimilated and fly the Mexican flag. That takes it to 20 million.
3] Once manest hits, all the chicos and chicas, tias and tios, primas and primos, and dozens of other relatives and even amigas and amigos will find there way here in a hurry--add on about 50 million more. That takes it to 70 million.
4] the birth rate. The birth rate of theirs dwarfs the birth rate of American citizens. Look to add another 50 million babies real quick. That takes it to 120 million.
5] As quickly as you must say, "Debo apprender Espanol", we will be in the minority, the slum USA will be ruled by Mexicans, and we will be the ones carrying banners begging for representation that they control. The Senate, the House and the White House will be run by Mexicans.
