Isrul you posted: "We are told that it is not possible to deport the illegals ... too many, I guess. Although Bush claims 6000,000 have been deported since his election."

Here are some figures from the uscis(U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) database. Based on these figures it would appear that the 6,000,000 number is in error. He has repeated it in two public statements that I know of. I suspect some staffer has been zealous with a number and doesn't have the courage to correct it.

Too bad because it has made him look uncredible. ____________________________________________________________________________________

The use of different terms, i.e. Formal Removal, voluntary departure and deportable, makes it look like the Formal removal and the voluntary departures were not deported.

Once someone is deported a 2nd offense is a felony and carries jail time.

I suspect they were overstayed Visa's. We allow around 30 million visa's per year.
