Anyone who still thinks there is going to be mass deportations ordered by ANY candidate is dreaming...ain't gonna happen.

Correct. People need to accept this and not let the Dems use it as a rallying cry--"The Republicans will have CHILDREN dragged from their beds at GUNPOINT!"

Best we are going to get is maximum border security and stiff penalties with no easy path to citizenship but a path of some kind. Sad but it is just reality.

Which is why border security is so important--if it doesn't work, you can't fix the problem later--they're already here.

Excellent point which is why conservatives have to be careful with what they say on the subject so that it won't be used against them.

That is not entirely true. Mass deportations aren't workable politically or practically. But ...

• Deport on contact with LE.
• Enforce the law strongly on employers of illegals.
• Strong border security. Build the physical fence and use high-tech surveillance.

Do that and they will deport themselves quickly at their own expense. No jobs no motivation to be here. We don't have to offer a path to citizenship for illegal aliens at all.

We need a candidate that will support that and articulate it.
