Why did NOBODY mention E-Verify and the resulting SELF-DEPORTATION?!?!??!?
If you can’t get a job without passing E-Verify, and employers are fined for violations, then illegals will LEAVE!!
Here’s an idea. Let’s deport all of the politicians in this country and let the American people run the government.
Piss off Yeb! It is a full scale illegal invasion. NOT defending the integrity of our nation and our borders is what is Un-American!
RepubliCAN’T
The Can’t Do attitude that built this country?
American values like wage depression and tax increases to pay for the invasion.
I don’t know about “Un-American” but it is certainly “Un-Mexican”. And Yeb would never want to be accused of being “Un-Mexican”.
Stay out da Bushes!
Since when do Americans go around wringing their hands and whining, “It’s impossible!” America needs a can-do President, one who says, “We CAN!” Jeb and others who say “We can’t deport” are really saying, “We don’t want to!”
And if American values mean letting just anyone into the country and never deporting them, then why do we have a border at all? Why do we have a Border Patrol? Why do we give out visas with time limits? Why don’t we just open up the borders and say, “Come one, come all”? American values mean obeying the law.
There are no words to describe how much I despise Jeb. The sooner he drops out of the race, the better.

As mentioned in the comments, start by secure the borders with whatever it takes - troops, volunteers, moats, land mines etc etc etc, follow by mass registration.
Then in a ‘short’ period of time, start enforcing the laws and rules on the book, effectively ‘freezing out’ the illegals who further their illegal status by NOT registering.
Again these idiots like Bush say/think it is ‘impossible’ to eject millions of illegal lawbreakers yet it will be a ‘piece of cake’ to confiscate hundreds of million LEGAL guns.
‘Loved it’ the other day when on (say) Monday one of them described people that used ‘big words’ were hands down more intelligent than the rest of ‘us’.
Then (say) on Thursday, the same outlet said the only people who used big words were basically liars trying to confuse the ‘little people’.
I think the use of ‘big words’ in public speaking go along with drawn out sentences - not only to make them appear condescending BUT also with big words and slow down delivery, people on a timer get to use up their time without saying ‘anything of substance’.
Kind of like the conundrum that took place in Virginias recent election. The ‘papers of record’ had to attack the R’s for not following McAuliffes ‘toll road’ plan while backing the D’s that thought it a bad idea also.
For one D candidate ‘they’ used the term ‘better than the others’ ....Not really a ringing endorsement but, then again the WashPost would probably back A recent ‘Klan’ member running as a D against Mother Theresa as an ‘R’.
If America is not sovereign, America is *not*, period.
I get so tired of Jeb, and Obama, and so many others who embrace so many un-American ideas, lecturing us on what “American values” are.
Got it, Jebbie.
Ike was "un-American."
Got it.
Why not just slink away, loser? Try Mexico. They got you some "American Values" there.
IDIOT!
Let’s embrace all illegal activity to make our country fair and kind.
OUTSTANDING posts BUMP!
Yeah! Not possible so lets just give up. What the hell? We had a good run for a little over 200 years. Lets turn the greatest nation on Gods earth back into a jungle free for all until its totally consumed by filth and disease. Its the humane thing to do. Moron!
During the 1950s, however, this "Good Old Boy" system changed under Eisenhower - if only for about 10 years.
In 1954, Ike appointed retired Gen. Joseph "Jumpin' Joe" Swing, a former West Point classmate and veteran of the 101st Airborne, as the new INS commissioner.
Influential politicians, including Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D) of Texas and Sen. Pat McCarran (D) of Nevada, favored open borders, and were dead set against strong border enforcement, Brownell said. But General Swing's close connections to the president shielded him - and the Border Patrol - from meddling by powerful political and corporate interests.
One of Swing's first decisive acts was to transfer certain entrenched immigration officials out of the border area to other regions of the country where their political connections with people such as Senator Johnson would have no effect.
Then on June 17, 1954, what was called "Operation Wetback" began. Because political resistance was lower in California and Arizona, the roundup of aliens began there. Some 750 agents swept northward through agricultural areas with a goal of 1,000 apprehensions a day.
By the end of July, over 50,000 aliens were caught in the two states. Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country.
By mid-July, the crackdown extended northward into Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, and eastward to Texas.
By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 illegals had left the Lone Star State voluntarily.
Now, to me, that's in the neighborhood of 1,200,000 in three months.
By my cyphering, we can get rid of the mere 6,000,000 claimed by the doofuses --- in about 12 months!
Of course, not if we keep buying into the mindless "It's impossible!", "Can't be done!" --- and never try.
Isn't that called a self-fulfilling prophecy in the universe of the real?
Just once, I’d like to hear one of the candidates blast the “law abiding” illegals statement.
They got here by breaking the law, therefore they are not law abiding in the first place.
Operation Wetback 2016 !
Jeb: “It’s an American value to not enforce our laws - at least not the ones I don’t think should be enforced.”
I.E., I’m no different than Obama!
