'Everybody knows...that we're not going to deport 11 million people': Obama
The London Daily Mail ^ | November 23, 2014 | Francesca Chambers

* Obama made the remarks during an interview with This Week host George Stephanopolous that was broadcast Sunday
* 'We are not even close to being able to deal with the folks who have been here a long time,' he said
* 'It is a stunning and sad display of a president declining to honor his constitutional obligation,' GOP Sen. Ted Cruz said in response

Enforce the law and they’ll go home. No jobs, no prospects, no welfare = no reason to come here or be here.

OTOH: It wouldn’t be hard to make them want to leave on their own. No jobs. No freebies. No welfare. Come on Barry. This isn’t rocket science. You’re supposed have some kind of college diploma. You should be able to figure it out.

No, I don't know that. Put a bounty on them and you can get them to self-deport.

I said from the outset, if Obama and the govt. say 5 million then the numbers are likely 2, 3 and 4 times that number.............

Obama’s EO will produce 20-25 million legal illegals. Nobady will take this quasi lewgal status from Obama’s illegals.

Adopt Mexico's immigration laws. They are pretty harsh on illegal immigrants.

‘Everybody knows, including Republicans, that we’re not going to deport 11 million people,’

Actually, it is entirely possible to do.

>>> Adopt Mexico's immigration laws. <<<

A savvy politician should INSIST on that as part of comprehension immigration reform.
