Exactly the same question I've been asking of Dane for a while now.
Care to respond, Dane?
What will be done when all of those refuse to leave?
If we can't deport them now, what will we do when their time is up?
Got an answer, Dane?
"....He shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed."
The people who think Eisenhower was a communist.
How do you deport 12 million illegals when for everyone you deport three sneak back in?
I'm so tired of the whiny, pathetic excuses coming from all levels of government. It doesn't help that the president was repeating this yesterday in his speech. We "can't"???? Since when? We *used* to be the most powerful nation on earth. Can't was not in the vocabulary. We put people in space, we invented the telephone, the Internet. We have the most powerful military and every kind of advanced technology one could think of, but we "cannot deport xx million."
"Agreed, our borders should have been secured years ago. Years and years before Bush was even born.
How do you suggest we remove the illegals? "
It will take many actions, but the first and foremost is to crack down on those who employ illegal aliens and to upgrade social security documentation so that it is much more difficult to use social security numbers fradulently.
And the fact that other Presidents didn't do their job is no excuse for Bush not to.
How could an illegal alien pay into SS when you have to be a citizen or legally authorized alien to do so? ( How do I replace a lost Social Security card?)
We don't need to deport 12 million, just start deporting one or two thousand a month with well publicized confiscation and auction of their personal and real property. While simultaneously opening up documentation and processing centers in Mexico for guest workers.
The big exodus home would begin almost overnight. It just takes political courage.
I think the legal immigration quotas are too low and need to be doubled, maybe tripled. They wouldn't be up here if they couldn't find work and most would prefer to be documented and legal.
However, they need to go home and let us sort and tag them before they re-enter.
Exactly.
The US Govt. is very big into making examples of people to induce compliance in the remainder of the population.
For them to sit idlely by and do nothing in this instance says (very loudly) that they're encouraging this illegal alien invasion.
And those who allowed this illegal alien situation to get to this point, should be stoned as well.
Of course. The biggest myth of all is that the problem is just so intractable. The reality is that we've never really made more than a laughable effort to tackle it. So yes, aggressively deport, and get the border under control. Also, the states need to be given full power to take action against illegals as they see fit (deportation, prosecution, whatever), without having to wait for the feds to do something.
"We *used* to be the most powerful nation on earth. Can't was not in the vocabulary."
bingo. We're a "can do" nation except when it comes to immigration enforcement.
Politicians like Bush need to stop saying he can't do this and that. He needs to be honest and say he DOESNT WANT TO do them.
As you said, "pathetic excuses."
"One child's Social Security number was used 742 times by workers in 42 states."
WOW!
You're a big fan of the Bush's so-called "Guest Worker" plan.
How do we get them to go home once their time has expired?
If we can't deport them now, how will we deport them then?
"The biggest myth of all is that the problem is just so intractable. "
bingo.
The only thing that's intractable about it is that it would take just a wee bit of political courage.
That's why it's intractable. Because there isn't any of that in Washington.
If only to keep our enemies from believing we are so weak kneed.
Thaaat's right, give all previous Presidents a pass and lynch GWB for their failings.
