You stated: "It is not politically possible. It is not logistically possible. It is never ever going to happen. "

Are you saying that Bush lied when he made this statement in his radio address.

EXCERPT:

"....Since I took office, we've increased funding for border security by 66 percent, and Federal agents have apprehended and sent home more than 6 million people entering this country illegally, including more than 400,000 with criminal records.

Let's see he had been in office about 2280 days when he made that statement. 6,000,000 / 2280 = 2631 deported per day.

We just saw major headlines all over the MSM when they busted a 1000+.

I don't blame you. He told a lie whether it was intentional or not. If it wasn't intentional, maybe he should make a retraction and give us the real numbers.

Employers in cuffs shown by the MSM. Just the result that was needed. Let's do that more often (at least once a week).

In this speech he refers to AMERICA, not the US. Note the distinction between the actions of the US Congress and his talking about America. He rarely uses "THE UNITED STATES" in his speeches and I think this is intentional.

One of the ways he could have arrived at that number is by adding to deportation figures the number of people who attempt to cross illegally at the Ports of Entry daily by using false documents and other means, that are denied entry. Notice he did not say "deported" he said "apprehended and sent home."

I do not believe that many were actually deported, maybe- but I would have to see the actual deportation figures to believe it.

It is sad but true that we now have to analyze every word spoken by a politician to try to find the grain of truth.

The president was referring to the number of illegals who have been stopped at the border. That has nothing to do with the 12 million legals who are already here.
