If you step up enforcement, two things happen.
First, people thinking about making the trip north think twice about it.
And, secondly, people having trouble finding work, people worried about being arrested will self-deport. They go home. Mexico has its problems, but for these people it is also home.
This is not that complicated.

"George Will was more colorful with his image of 200,000 buses in a caravan stretching bumper-to-bumper from San Diego to Alaska Or, we can load up 20 buses a day for a year or so. Plus make life so unpleasant that they will leave the same way they came. Think of all the money that could be saved just emptying out the prisons full of them, money saved by NOT giving them welfare and free health care. All those savings will more than pay for the buses and gas, free bottle of water and extra law enforcement needed to make this small effort.

This has got to be a bad development for the subversive groups like La Raza, ACLU, Chamber of Commerce (aka Collective of Communists), etc....who push pro-illegal anti-American agendas.
But, of course, a great development for America

Amazing how the simple solutions are the ones that work. We are a nation of laws, enfore them, and results will follow.
Much better than the gazillion page amnesty manifesto stuffed with every politician’s wet dream of pork.

What a effective issue for McCain to club Obama. I believe easily 80% of legal Americans support assertive enforcement to drive attrition on illegal immigration.
Too bad McCain’s in the other 20%. But maybe he cares about winning the election.

I see the illegal population declining in the outer boroughs of NYC, and an end to the influx here in Central NJ.

The findings are also consistent with data showing a drop in remittances sent home by immigrants...Does anyone know if there are any taxes on "remittances"?
I would think that a 9% federal tariff and the usual 8.25% California sales tax, on the total amount of the transaction, would be fair.
After all, a lot of the money is earned on the underground economy and is not subject to the income tax or Social Security withholding that are so important for funding important investments our governments make for us. <\EndSarc>

only options before us are either arresting and deporting every single illegal alien or legalizing them. Actually if you take the benefits away and punish those who hire them most will leave on their own.

This reminds me of the NYT headline complaining that although crime was going down the prisons were still full.

When Krikorian published his "Attrition Theory", it was just that, theory.
This caused a lot agony until they renamed it Attrition Strategy.
So let's accept his word for it, the stepped up enforcement has worked.
An 11% reduction ain't much to crow about, especially if you consider what it has cost. They doubled the number of BP agents. The ICE budget is higher than the State Sept. And EPA.
But, it wasn't just enforcement, it was the economy. It was the falling value of the dollar.
Well Mark, the good news is the GOP strategy for getting rid of the illegals was 11% effective. The bad news is they had to destroy the economy to do it.
To: Ben Ficklin
According to the article that’s 11% through May for this year. This compounds out tremendously over the years — and who knows, the pace could even accelerate as less bother to come here.
The key is the continuing will to do it. The fact that enforcement is effective is indisputable.

Thanks for that correction. That is 11% for nine months(Aug-May). Extrapolate that to 13.8% for 12 months, maybe.
The low hanging fruit.

The fact that enforcement is effective is indisputable.The only people who ever disputed this were the Bush administration and it's toadies.

Sounds like sour grapes. But but but good news is good news, that 11% may be just the beginning, maybe turning into a flood of parasitic 3rd world aliens returning to where they belong.

The economy is destroyed because illegal Mexicans are going home? If your theory is true, then Mexico should be prospering, right? Let us know how that’s workin’ out.
