By deporting ALL illegal aliens. India managed very easily to deport 11 million foreign nationals who entered their country illegally, and has done a much better job of securing their borders than the Bush Administration.
Deportation is neither inhumane or unjust. If I were in another country illegally I would understand perfectly if I were arrested ot asked to leave no matter how long I'd been there. Defending the country is more important than keeping up appearances to anti-American foreign interests.
Yes indeed, India and Israel must be recognized as world leaders in establishing freedom. For instance they have sacrificed their finest military assets in projecting freedom and democracy to such far-flung places as.......EXACTLY nowhere. You may not be proud of American manifest destiny, yet please do not compare our great country to third world cesspools. The United States of America is much greater than any example that you may bring.
By the way, I still have not seen a posting of the federal law that enables prosecution of people for existing within the United States, its territories and possessions without proper documentation. Surely someone has a bookmark.
This country lacks the inner strength to carry on the war on terror in spite of the horrific images we all saw on September 11; watch TV you see the "bring the troops home" mantra daily.
I don't know that on a divided issue such as this, the general population could withstand the assault by the media, and the flood of images of families being taken out of their homes and forced to leave the country being blasted across the TV screens nightly.
We are generally a good people, with big hearts...I don't think we can successfully deport 10 to 20 million men, women, and children without tearing ourselves apart as a nation.
