So you can't really deport 11 million in a time frame which would be viewed by most people as "kicking them all out" and impacting on the problem. Deporting 1.5 million per year did not stem the influx. The total number in the country grew. The incentive to try remained because the success rate was still high. So, at the end of 10 years you may have deported 11 million, but you won't have deported "The 11 Million". So at the end of the day, you haven't solved the problem and you haven't addressed the legitamacy of the deport 11 million assertion. A nice dodge, but extremely transparent.
Which happened because the border wasn't controlled, not because we didn't have the capability to deport them.

No, at the end of 10 years we could have potentially deported THIRTY million. And what's the point about "legitimacy"?? We're all agreed that these people are NOT here legitimately, so no "legitimacy" question arises.
If you shut the border (Bush seems to be saying he wants to do that--I'll try to take him at his word), and then start repatriating even one million per year, sounds like the problem would be solved in 11 years or so. How is that a bad thing?
