Not really.

Because the point is that one does not solve major problems by reaching the immediate conclusion that the problem has no solution.

Or that there is not really a problem after all.

We can't catch all of the shop lifters, so we should give them amnesty.

We can't catch all of the dope peddlers, we just are not going to put that many in the klink, so give them amnesty.

All foolish statements to make the point that your statement is no more sensible.

No, they can't all be rounded up on the same Friday afternoon and sent back.

But first you lock down the border. Then you stop an illegal for drunk driving, you send him back. One at a time, five at a time and you make a dent.

Then you really hang one on the employers of illegals. No job, they go home.

You don't send them, they just go.

As for the employers, treat them as rough as the IRS would. That makes an example of a few and the others will not take the risk.

It is really easy. The problem is that we have people in government wanting the Hispanic vote and people in industry that want cheap labor.

We don't even need new laws, just the will to enforce what we have now. But if you are running for office, the best thing you can do is proclaim loudly "There ought to be a law".

You have miusunderstood my very clear statement 100%.

And a lot of Republican wives who won't stoop to clean their own homes--or won't pay an honest wage to get the job done--or like playing Scarlett O'Hara to subservient illegal help.

Politicians forget that conservative women are not exactly like conservative men. Housework, and who does it, is a charged issue.

Who cleans the bathroom in these Republicanista couples? It's a hot political question, but no one asks it.

If the Minutemen really wanted some political ammo, they'd start sending around a private investigator to see who cleans the houses of these elites. Once a few pro-open borders get embarrassed in public with their semi-slave labor, and we might have a little momentum.

There's a lot of arrogant paternalism in the pro-open borders debate. It could be used against them.
