You come up with a plan to locate every illegal that is feasible and effective and I will listen to you.
Moving the goalposts now?
I'd be happy with a plan that started with "of those who are detained/arrested while in the process of committing an illegal act" (besides the one they committed illegally entering).
Americans are not proposing `coming up with a plan'.
We're proposing enforcement of our existing laws, US Code Title 8.
*You* apologists for foreign lawbreakers are proposing a plan.
But it isn't `Amnesty', oh no: it's a `Guest Worker' program! ("Oh dear, I found this man on our couch this morning. He won't leave so I suppose we'll have to treat him as a guest. by the way he says if we put `sheets on his bed' he'll kill us.")
Don't try shifting the burden to us. We have a solution: existing immigration laws.
You explain to us how additional cumbersome, byzantine legislation is going to solve this problem.
That's the governments job, protecting Americans from illegal invaders to the tune of over 11 Million. The people that need to listen is the leaders of our country, they need to listen to their citizens and then tell the illegals to listen up and heed our Laws. If not then DO something other than cave in to criminal demands. Arguing that it can't be done is pure defeatist.
If we can hope to change the hearts and minds of millions of Iraqis that they can be a democratic nation after living under oppression and dictatorships since time memorial, then we can hope to round up a substantial number of illegals and deport them.. we don't have to get them all.. and because we can't get them all that's no reason to quit.. just like we can't quit fighting terrorism.. we will never get them all but we can still win the war.
