How would you deport every single illegal? You can't and you know it. I wish folks would stop speaking in bumper sticker speak and come up with feasible solutions.
A provision which is totally unenforceable.
Bingo.
Bingo with bells on.
"Hey, Pancho, you know that green card you made me, the one that says I've been here for a year? Well, I need some other papers. Can you make it so that I've been here five years? Great! Gracias!"
My wife told me that the clerk at the check-cashing station at the grocery store downtown told her that they demand the green card from every "immigrant" before cashing their check from the local bigtime ag employer. Guess what? They all have green cards! Guess what else? All the green cards have the same ID number printed on them!
Golly, who woulda guessed it? Criminals, LYING????
Here's what we're gonna get out of this "deal": We are going to get two more New York City's worth of "citzens".
Well, let me clarify. That's not quite accurate. NYC proper only has, what, seven million residents? I'm talking about the "greater NYC area", which has about ten million.
That's what we're gonna get -- twenty million new "citizens".
That's the "for starters" part of this clstrfk. We'll also get their relatives, which will maybe double that number -- and then, we'll still have millions more "guests" hustling over the "border" (scare-quotes because it's only a "line on a map", not a REAL border).
We have just been raped.
Kiss your country goodbye. And learn Spanish!
PS: Any Mexican with an IQ over 80 will be ready to "document" that he's been here over five years. Bet on it.
