Bingo, cripplecreek, you said it before I had a chance to. I am sick and tired of hearing what Americans CAN'T do. "We CAN'T build a fence; it'll cost too much!" "We CAN'T deport them, it'll be too hard!" Yes, we CAN. We CAN do all of this; we're Americans, for goodness sake! If we yell and scream loud enough at the politicians, if we clearly demonstrate our resolve, if we show them we really mean business, YES WE CAN!
When operation wetback was implimented an estimated half left on their own rather than face deportation. If we target crimminal employers and purge illegals from welfare rolls many will leave. Then we build a wall and increase border patrols.
