South Elgin man appearing on CNN to push for deportation of Illinois’ 400,000 illegal aliens

By Tara Malone Daily Herald Staff Writer Posted Saturday, December 31, 2005

Debate surrounding illegal immigration in Illinois that sparked protest in Arlington Heights, packed an American Legion hall in Elgin and emerged as a political hardball in the governor’s race hits prime time this week.

Activist Dan Kairis of South Elgin will appear Monday on CNN’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight” program, where he will make the case to deport people living illegally in Illinois — all 400,000 of them.

About 4 percent of the estimated 10.3 million unauthorized workers in the country live in Illinois, according to a report released earlier this year by the Pew Hispanic Center.

Kairis, a member of the Illinois Minuteman Project who helped found the Independence Party of Illinois, contends confiscating homes, cars and possessions of undocumented workers could bankroll their deportation. Illegal immigrants would have four months to leave on their own, according to the party’s platform.

Dan Karis has been a great promoter of the Minutemen in Illinois. When I heard odf his ideas about "Reverse Amenesty" I thought to myself, NOW THAT is thinking outside of the box! Even a card carrying Republican has to admit THAT. I can only hope some folks take notice and adopt the platform.

After all it is not unheard of. We confisgate drug dealers property!

Now folks cannot yell..WHERE WILL ALL THE MONEY COME FROM TO DEPORT THESE PEOPLE! Here is your answer. Any money left over? It goes to the local sheriff as pay back and incentive.

Happy New Year to all!!

...and these people probably have pretty nice cars, etc. they don't pay income taxes on their earnings. they get handouts from the government, and send money to their home countries.

Wow, maybe there might be some job openings too...

Think I might be considering a move to Illinois.

EVEN I would tell you not to do THAT!
We have the #1 corrupt Republican and Democratic parties in the 50 states.
It is like living in the twilight zone!!

I gotta concur there. I had the misfortune to get involved in the DuPage Republican Party a few years back.

Talk about your CCRs...

As to this article, I like the guys platform. But honestly I don't see why everyones getting so worked up. If one is here illegally, they should be deported immediately. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Round 'em up-head 'em out.

A large percentage of 400,000 makes a pretty good cushion. Jeepers.

IMO all who hire illegals should be fined, and split the fines with the whistle blowers.

The illegals are threatening our economy, our safety, and our health (TB etc)

All 800,000 of them, naturally.

Kairis....contends confiscating homes, cars and possessions of undocumented workers could bankroll their deportation.

This is a GREAT idea. These people's very presence here is a crime! How dare they waltz around and benefit illegally from our great society, enjoying our law based, stable society in the open for all the world to see?

This is precisely what should happen. And as far as getting votes, PLEASE, 80% or more of Americans want our laws enforced and our culture respected. They will vote for this in droves.

I think there's a surprise coming about this issue.

Because, most of the people braving the truth about illegal aliens and trying to realize real, practical solutions to the problem (I include "deport illegal aliens" efforts in the practical measures) are proving to be supported by majorities among voters.

It's proven to be unproductive to most voters by now -- that those people who display fear of pursuing forceful measures about the illegal immigration problem offer good candidacy -- and a lot of us are actually dissuaded by candidates who are fearful or dodge answering straightforwardly questions about these issues.

Ah, but I think I see your point as to the 30% of votes in Illinois...since the other 70% are the votes from the deceased and illegal aliens. Ha. ~;-D

400.000?

Could that be correct? I have encountered at least 400,000 myself in Cook County that did not seem to speak a single word of "American English" or even any English. That fact alone leads me to suspect the number is closer to 4 million as it seems likely most legal immigrants would speak at least a phrase or jumbled word or two. A legal arrival would have likely had some resources and planned, and had time to attempt to learn a phrase, or two.
