'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
* The president declined to if he was worried about outbursts of violence in Ferguson if police officer Darren Wilson is not indicted
* He also wouldn't endorse Hillary Clinton for president but said she'd be 'a great president' and gave her his blessing to depart from his positions
* Americans 'want that new car smell,' he said. 'They want to drive something off the lot that doesn't have as much mileage as me'

President Barack Obama brushed off complaints levied by the GOP that his immigration actions are illegal in an ABC News interview that aired today, saying that the U.S. has 'limited resources' and it only makes sense for the government to prioritize the removal of 'felons, criminals and recent arrivals' over longtime residents and families.

'Everybody knows, including Republicans, that we're not going to deport 11 million people,' Obama told George Stephanopolous during a Friday interview for his Sunday morning program This Week.

'The reason that we have to do prosecutorial discretion in immigration is that we know that we are not even close to being able to deal with the folks who have been here a long time,' he said.

In the extended interview Obama and Stephanoplous also discussed the grand jury investigation into Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson and the 2016 presidential race....

If I had an extra bunch of money, after donating to FR, I would run television advertisements touting mexican immigration law.

Some rich conservative should so that.

Didn’t Eisenhower deport 15 million illegals in ‘Operation Wetback’?

Why can’t we do the same now?

I have been saying that for some time:

At $1000/criminal, we could deport them all for $30 billion or so. The fed’s could not solve the problem with 100 times that amount.

Also, the thought of joe redneck bounty hunter kicking their door in might give the criminals pause for reflection. They certainly do not fear ICE.

Also, industrious us citizens could make really good money rounding up criminals!

It can be done. Stalin deported millions of people. And some of them didn’t even LIVE in Russia.

“Everybody knows”, “The experts all say”, “Most experts agree”, “97% of the scientists know”. I'm tired of this lying piece of crap. When are our people going to wake up to the bullsh!t this guy keeps slinging. Oh, I know, probably never. We are doomed. (Just ranting, feel better now)

How about we start enforcing the laws that we have on the books & they’ll leave on their own.

I always ask liberals; if our diversity is out strength, why do we have a racist immigration policy that FAVORS one country and ethnic group over all others?

I thought there was an earlier thread stating that Eisenhower deported 13 million illegals in 1958 to make room veterans returning from abroad.

Everybody also knows that all you have to do is stop giving them free stuff and they will self-deport.

Why not? It’s been done before, and Americans need the jobs. Why stop at 11 million? The load it would take off our prison systems, our healthcare systems, our educational systems, public housing, food stamps, just getting the drunk drivers off our highways..., makes deportation a winner. Send all the illegals home.
