95% of them have children who are American Citizens. Unless we cut off the spigot to all American children, they are still going to get the benefits. The benefits go to their children.
I want to know if there is any candidate who is on record as saying that every illegal alien must be deported. Not "self-deported", but physically put on a bus to Mexico or Peru and repatriated to their home country.
Anything less than that is "amnesty". At least according to Santorum's definition.
I agree that this seems to be the current "definition" of amnesty that is used by hard-shell conservatives.
If any candidate does NOT fully support a police state round up and immediate deportation of every single Hispanic not carrying papers absolutely proving birth and identity, then that Hispanic is immediately to be deported.
Any less than that is "amnesty".
I think these hard-shells should ask their candidate to demand the round-up begin within 90 days of taking office.
Otherwise, they believe in amnesty. Delay is amnesty.
