Ping!
Before we decide it won't work let's try it!
massive deportation won't work.

Well, of course not regardless of what some extremists say.
But when it doesn't matter, they throw up their arms and say it can't be done.
I believe ALL elected officials are sworn to obey the Contitution? Oh, it's just an old meaningless document anyway. Politicians these days are so much smarter than our founders.
"as he tried to revive prospects for an election-year agreement in the divided U.S. Congress."
And he thought that he was helping election year candidates....oh no that did not help unless he wanted the other party to win. Wait what is the other party to him?
Stop hiring them, they'll go home and pay their own transportation costs...
They will never choose to go home as long as they have free health care, education, food stamps, licenses, jobs. Duh!
That depends on whom you are working for, Mr. P. It would work for Americans. It just wouldn't work for the Communists who are inciting illegals to "march for their rights", when as illegals they have NO rights in this country. As criminals, it is their "right" to be incarcerated prior to deportation.
I still think they should all be inducted into the armed services, and deployed to Iraq and other strategic locales in the middle East. If they serve the U.S. well in the service, they can earn citizenship upon discharge. Pay would be better than pickin' peas. They'd get room, board, duds and spending money for the duration. Hard to beat that.
Bush is full of crap.
Round 'em up and head out.
... W let give it a shot... I'll drive if you buy
I am so embarrassed that I campaigned for this president, twice! I actually got an "official invitation" to his first inaugeration, but was too busy rallying to stop Gore from stealing the election to make plans to go. I know that the alternative was worse (Gore or Kerry), but what are we to do?! I am voting third party in 2006 to teach a lesson for 2008. I can't give the current Senate-Republicans a "that-a-boy" with my vote this year. The Republican era is over, I'm afraid.
Mr Mojo is right. If you punish companies that hire illegal workers, they'll stop hiring. Simple enough to do, using social security and tax reports.
If you stop giving them free schooling, free hospital care except in dire emergencies, in-state tuition rates not available to American citizens, and welfare benefits for which they are not qualified, it will also discourage them.
States that insist on handing out massive benefits, like California, should get no help or reimbursement from the federal government.
You will still have a few illegals, but then the situation will be controllable, and you can use normal law enforcement procedures. The reason we have all these illegals here in the first place is earlier amnesties, and widespread refusal to enforce our existing laws.
This is a False Choice, which is a Logical Fallacy. We don't have to deport all of them, just enough to put The Fear into them. As others have posted, busting companies that knowingly hire them will go a long way toward mitigating the problem.
But the most important action is to secure the borders. Build a wall/fence that is difficult to pass through.
But if want to use Germans
...if 12 million illegal German's were moving it to the old Silesia area of modern Poland
...and they were talking about reforming the greater German Reich.....
Bush: Massive deportation of migrants won't work
There's that `can do' spirit (sarcasm). . . .
but I don't recall him swearing to uphold and defend the Constitution: ". . . except for that messy southwest border invasion thing, not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent."
I must have been distracted, watching "Slick" `saw logs'.
With the way the Media is playing this up and the hype and sensationalism with this....W is most likely correct in a very different way.
Where are the Conservatives with all the money? Why didn't they buy up the air waves?
This is totally insane.
The State of Georgia doesn't think deportation is necessary. Follow Georgia's example, and watch them deport themselves.
