I'm all for deporting everyone that we reasonably can, but I think you've stepped beyond the realm of reality, and are asking for something that beyond being unworkable will be wildly unpopular and would result in a candidate pushing for it to lose the election.
ejonesie22 explains it well in post 302.
I’ve read his post and disagree.
No one is suggesting rounding them all up and deporting them. It’s a straw argument and all or nothing Open Borders spin.
Attrition through enforcement is the ONLY solution.
Amnesty is NEVER, ever the solution.
And while Fred Thompson has mentioned attrition, because he believes that we must determine who is here and decide, gawd knows how, that some must be given aspirations of citizenship, the only illegal aliens attrition would apply to then, are those not given amnesty. He has also said that he’s more concerned about future illegal aliens more than the present, yet he’s not been specific about how he would effectively secure the border.
IMO, he covers all of his bases and none of them well.
