Oh, ok.

Get back to me when we get control of the press. And as far as getting them to leave, have you been to Mexico lately? I would hate to have to do what it takes here to make there look appealing again.

Emotional, no, frustrated yes, the reality of the political and social situation defies quick solutions. Like I said, currently there seems to be a general trend against anything like amnesty, but once the general public, not us, but those guys who vote on the prevailing currents and trends, see little kids and their mommies being herded on buses, it will backfire so bad I fear we would lose even more ground.

I want to ship them back myself but even before that I would have not let them in to begin with. But I have looked over this situation beyond the slogans and wishes and just don't see it happening. So I want to minimize the cost and criminal impact and play the hand dealt to our advantage.

BTW, on grammar and other mistakes, most of my post are from my Treo, a little hard to reach grammar nirvana on a 2 inch screen. However thank you for the grade.

No, I have very happily not been to Mexico in a long, long time. I know it is a cesspool, as are most of the other 3rd world countries where our invaders are from. I imagine they’ll only willingly go back to those places only if they have no other options. Which is what we need to do if we are to survive as a country.

And although I see (or think I do) that you are trying to find a practical solution to a problem that has been allowed to fester for too long, I still can perceive any solution that allows them to stay as amnesty. I would never be for that, but then again, I’m one of the few that has seen this problem grow and grow over the past 30+ years while everyone seems to have ignored it. Present company excluded, of course. The areas I’ve been in (S Cal and Texas) are ruined. Those states have more in common with Mexico than the U.S. any more. Decades of invasion and out of control breeding at taxpayers’ expense, corporate and liberal education policy has served to assist them to NOT assimilate one bit, and the hatred they have for all things American (while taking and taking our money in all forms of services) have made going back to the ‘norm’ impossible. I’d like to save the rest of the country from following this fate.

If I lived elsewhere (which I plan to do ASAP along with most nonhispanic Californians I know), I would probably think your plan was fine. From what I’ve experienced though, IMHO we need to either act quickly and forcefully or say goodbye to life as we knew it - at least tell it goodbye for our children, who will inherit a mess that can’t be fixed.

Sorry for the insults on your English. If I were writing on a 2 inch screen, you wouldn’t be able to understand one thing I was trying to say! Is the input one of those tiny keyboards you use with a stylus? That would be really annoying/frustrating.

This sentence of yours has been going through my mind today. It's sadly true that the non-thinking voters of today react to images and sentimentality over logic and facts. But - IMO - if we have to behave in a politically correct manner all the time in order to get voters to go in our direction, we're screwed. If people can't remember the issues and the data, but instead react like 3rd or 4th graders not thinking beyond the last image they saw - we're in dire straits no matter what.

And I'm afraid with education being dumbed down for the last several decades and commercialism and greed making the masses unable to think beyond immediate gratification, we're there already.
