Really?

They are being enforced as much as murder laws are?

Where is the proof of that? Where is the proof that these people (illegal immigrants of any nationality) are being deported when they are caught?

If they were, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

There is a pick and choose method of deportation. You know that and I know that. So until the Government begins to round them up and deport them. Fine the piss out of the employers that hire them (en masse), jail repeat offenders and generally treat this situation like they would a "hate crime", then you're damned right I would support this.

Someone has to do it, and if it puts enough fear into Illegals to make them go home and come back LEGALLY, then I'm all for it. Be it ICE, Local Law Enforcement or Citizens of this country finally fed up with being told their Rights as Citzens don't matter because "We need people to do jobs Americans won't do".

Whatever it takes

I will get you the stats - in the meantime, you said you would answer my first question to you.

Since President Bush took office, agents have apprehended and sent home more than 6 million people entering the country illegally - including more than 400,000 with criminal records - the Administration is also ending the practice of "catch and release." Most illegal immigrants from Mexico can be returned to Mexico within 24 hours. Non-Mexican illegal immigrants present a different challenge. For decades, government detention facilities did not have enough beds for the non-Mexican illegal immigrants caught at the border - so most were released back into society. They were each assigned a court date, but virtually no one showed up. The Administration is ending the practice of "catch and release" by increasing the number of beds in detention facilities by 12 percent this year; the President's FY07 budget proposes increasing that number by another 32 percent.

The Administration is also expanding the use of "expedited removal," which allows us to send non-Mexican illegal immigrants home more quickly. Last year, it took an average of 66 days to process a non-Mexican illegal immigrant. Now, the process is taking only 21 days. This has helped us end "catch and release" for illegal immigrants from Brazil, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua caught crossing our Southwest border. Since last summer, the total number of non-Mexican illegal immigrants released into society has been cut by more than a third.

So, over 6 years there have been 6 million deportations - I guess I should not have used the plural - but keep in mind that does not count illegals sent to prison pending release and deportation as well. I take it that's not enough for you, but for some reason you refuse to just come right out and say it. So, unless you tell me differently, I will presume you are fine with vigilantes impersonating law enforcement and terrorizing immigrants and citizens - have a nice day.
