It is really shocking how the majority of freepers cannot see the simple fact that it is impossible to deport 12 million immigrants. How many law enforcement people required to do so? Are we going to send 500 police to a compound housing illegal immigrants and their families kick the doors of apartment and pull out people and put them in buses? Are the police going to raid the malls and the restaurants and arrest the illegal immigrants? How many informants we need to tell us about the location of illegal immigrants? To do this America will have to become a POLICE STATE and this will never happen in America despite the delusions of many on our side. The national backlash against the conservatives and anyone who endorse such a thing will be worst than anything we can imagine.

jv - I thought I was the only one who was in the minority on this one until I read some of your posts.

It's painful to admit, but it's our own fault for not demanding accountability for the border thirty or forty years ago.I suppose most Americans assumed that the government would do basic functions such as protecting our borders. Is it really so hard to understand why such a thing would be assumed of our government?

Here's an idea: if you are thinking of leaving the GOP, then consider registering as a member of The Free Republic party.
I just called the GOP, told them to take my name off their rolls. And now I am thinking of changing party registration.

it is impossible to deport 12 million immigrants. It's only "impossible" in the peabrains of people like you, John McCain, Arlen Specter and Teddy Kennedy.

It is simple...Jail the employers, the leadership in our schools, medical community, etc that knowingly deals with illegals. Once the illegals are forced, they will have no choice to leave.

Yep - importing all the Indians of Mexico and Central America along with half of Pakistan and Somalia...that ought to give conservatives an electoral edge nationwide.
Democrats may as well disband their party. They're in for some lean times ahead.

Deport illegal aliens. Eisenhower did it. This can be done directly and indirectly. No welfare, no medical free care, no admission to school, no reduced college tuition, no jobs, no chance to file lawsuits for millions of dollars or anything else. Round up the gangs. Fine employers. Illegal aliens are invading our country. The worst things to do is to surrender and whimper, "We should not do anything because there are too many." Exactly. They're all here because the government is PURPOSEFULLY not enforcing immigration laws, and is actually providing incentives for illegals to come here.

If we all went this week to our Registrar of Voters and changed our Party affiliation from Republican to Undeclared or Non partisan do you think anyone would even notice?

The national backlash against the conservatives and anyone who endorse such a thing will be worst than anything we can imagine. Your hysterical hyperbole sounds like it came straight out of the mouth of the most liberal Democrat. Uphold the rule of law. Enforce the law. The law says that the penalty for being in this country illegal begins with deportation. Removing benefits that entice illegal aliens and making it impossible for them to get a job because the laws are being vigorously enforced against their lawbreaking employers will cause them to have no other choice but to leave on their own.
When you find that you're on the side of Pelosi and Kennedy, you really need to examine where you've gone wrong.

There are few us of us, but for sure we are a minority. This will be very difficult times for people like us on FR. Get used to hear “Bush is a traitor” and “Impeach Bush” all the time now. It is really sad.

As I told you before, you and me are now a minority, and do not be surprised if we got banned from this forum for opposing the "Bush Haters".
Quit your bitching.
Bush has sold this country down the river... and that is an inescapable point of fact. I voted for the damn fool twice, but this goes way beyond politics, the 2008 race, or anything else. Bush has proven he doesn't give a damn about America... about what she stands for or the sacrifices given by so many to get us here. I am goddamned angry because BUSH HAS JUST CRAPPED ON ALL OF IT... and he has done so for political and economic pipe dreams.

“it is impossible to deport 12 million immigrants”
Bullshit!
To: Altura Ct.
I don't why it is so f*****g hard for the Pubbies to realize this : legalizing millions of illegals only encourages even
more illegal immigration and that has been proven in spades by the failures of the '86 legislation.
The '86 legislation paid off big time for the Rats at the ballot box (especially here in California). I guess the GOP leadership decided that they weren't losing enough elections already.
Mark my words: if this legislation is actually enacted into law the GOP will wind up going the way of the Whigs.
