But isn’t he saying the same thing as Boehner, Rubio, McCain, Cantor, Ryan, Graham, and Issa?

Quit giving them jobs and free stuff and they’ll leave. Simple as that.

The illegal alien population is not a static population. It is constantly changing.

The frequently heard comment "You just can't deport 11 million people" reflects a mistaken mental image of the illegal alien population.

But the illegal alien population is not like the Super Bowl audience; it is a churning group, some newly arrived, some here for a long time, and many thinking about, planning to, or actually leaving through a wide variety of exits.

If we could limit the number of new entrants and make it less attractive for illegal ones to stay and make it easier and more attractive to leave, then we could decrease the size of the illegal alien population without any need to deport them all, as the graphic below illustrates.

The illegal alien population is a dynamic one and could be reduced substantially over the next few years if the government were to bring more pressure to bear on it in an organized manner by expanding interior enforcement while, at the same time, narrowing the inflow gates for that population, and broadening the outflow gates.

“They’re here, and they’re not going away,” Johnson said at the Woodrow Wilson Center in remarks billed by the Obama administration as his “first major speech.”

So...you admit that you're not doing the very job we hired you to do, isn't that right, Mr. Johnson?

They would go away if...

• Deport illegal aliens on contact with LE.
• Enforce the law vigorously on employers of illegals.
• Strong border security. Build the physical fence and use high-tech surveillance.
• Eliminate entitlements for illegal aliens except for true emergency care.
• End the "anchor baby" policy.

Do those things and illegal aliens will deport themselves and pay for the trip.

Just enforce the law!

Part of the problem instead of the solution. Like do much of Washington, D.C. These days.

Would they “go away” if all welfare, free education, free medical, and jobs were taken away from them? Arrest the criminals, seize their assets, jail them, then, deport them and their families. I think they’d “go away”.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Who frickin’ job is to see they DO go away?

“Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, the nation’s top immigration law enforcer, said on Friday that the estimated 11.5 million illegal aliens in the United States are “not going away.”

Then what are we paying your salary for?
