I've got a question for anyone here - when Bush, McCain, Reid, Kennedy, etc, etc, etc says we "can't possibly deport 11 or 13 million illegal immigrants", why hasn't any media type or talking head responded "Well, how many CAN we deport then?"????

That is not an unreasonable conclusion. It would take federalizing every police force plus troops to round up that many people spread across the country. It would be defacto martial law. As much as people say they want the illegals to leave this country would not stand for pictures we saw with that Cuban kid multiplied by several million every night. No it really is unreasonable to think that could happen.

Good point. Im fairly certain America doesnt have the stomach to see that scene repeated night after night with a breathless Katie Couric decrying the inhumanity. Busloads of pregnant women and their kids heading for Juarez would be a politcal boon for the Kennedys, Pelosis and Clintons of the world. Now, I know I will now be accused of favoring amnesty, and being pro-illegal, but I know Im not. A round up and mass deportation, regardless of what the Bush haters think, is just not feasible right now. Maybe in the future, but right now we need to stem the tide. Calling W Jorge and saying he favors Mexico over the US is just assinine, as are a majority of the posts on this thread. Cool headed thinking and debate is whats needed, but I am winessing this thread (and pretty much every other thread on FR these days) descend into something resembling my sons first grade class at Walker Elememtary..

Awaitng the inevitable flames and accusations of being pro-guest worker, pro-illegal and all of the nonsensical charges that FR has turned into..
