Uh, "Newbie", you might want to check how long each of us has been a member of the forum. It is common practice to select only the portion of a post that the person is replying to. There's nothing "insulting" about it.
"Second, that is indeeed cost prohibitive. Rounding up the ones that are here now and sending em back is money thrown down the drain. Put that money into a border fence and a vastly increased Border Patrol, and take away the aforementioned spigot of benefits that illegals get, and that is a much more effective way to address this."
No, it is NOT "cost prohibitive. The number I posted prove it. And "building a fence" WTIHOUT that increased deportation effort will be only marginally effective. The "spigot of benefits" is irrelevant.
I really don't care who you are or how many posts you have made.
It is cost prohibitive. Wasting a single dime on simply rounding them up and shipping them back is a dime wasted. The incentive to come here in the first place is what needs to be removed, and that doesn't cost a thing, and would infact free up even more resources. No more free health care, tuition breaks, and so on.
Clear?
