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.

This is something I guess I'm too thick to understand, too. Why is it OK to deport 6 million now, but it will be impossible to deport them after the border is sealed? Why is it morally or ethically acceptable to deport illegals now, but if we do it later we will be "breaking up families", "uprooting lives", etc.? Is it only permissible to deport illegals when they can come right back over the border, and impermissible to deport them when they can't get back in?

"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. The question I have after reading this article, is "how come we know so much about them if they're stuck in the shadows?"

I'm wondering if he's referring to 1,000,000 or so who are caught at the border each year and deported? I'm also wondering if this is really six million persons or is it one million persons caught six times each? And or also wondering if this same six million (if this is the right number) didn't also keep trying until they made it and therefore now make up one-half of the twelve million that are supposedly here? And how do we know we haven't double counted and thus this same six million (which actually may only be one milllion persons caught six times each) don't make up the total of the twelve million? Hmmmmm?
