No, he didn’t say THAT, either. what he said was, deporting 12 million is “not going to happen.”

We can deport as many as we want to, if we’re willing to spend the money and take the time. But the sheer LOGISTICS of deporting 12 to 20 million are mind-boggling. For example, if the number is “only” 12 million, and you used 60-passenger Greyhound buses, that would be 200,000 bus loads. If you used 300-passenger airliners, that would be 40,000 plane loads. It would take a number of years and cost a lot of money.

Fred said that it would be better to take away the incentives that draw and keep illegals here, and many of them would leave on their own. That would cosiderably reduce the number that needed to be deported, along with the cost of doing it and the time required.

I'm sure that his is not the first time this piece of information has been posted. It's just the first time I've seen it. I'd wondered where we would get the money to root out 12-20 million illegals. Makes sense to me. Thanks for the post.

"Take away the incentives..."

Heard the same BS in 1986. Action speaks louder than empty rhetoric.

Congress determined the best way to control immigration was to take away the incentive to enter the United States by preventing illegal immigrants from working or receiving government benefits. The Immigration Reform and Control Act provides sanctions for knowingly hiring an employee who is not legally authorized to work. It requires employers and states to check work authorization documents for every new employee or benefit applicant, including U.S. citizens, and to complete a related form.

Exactly my point Roger.
