Tell me friend, how would you deport 20 million people including little old ladies and children? How would you locate them?
A) Close the border (i.e. stop the bleeding).
B) Enforce the laws against hiring illegals. If necessary, make the fines a hundred times higher.
C) Cut off all public services to illegal aliens.
D) Deputize local LE to check immigration status for suspected illegal aliens.
E) Deport via train, plane or bus.
Rinse, repeat...
"how would you deport 20 million people"
Say loud and clear, ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS WILL BE ARRESTED, then watch most of them go the way they came. Seriously, no doubt it is a big job, but it can be done. Do we say, that their are just too many crimes being committed in America so we might as well give up on law enforcement.. let all the criminals go?? Or, there are just too many terrorists in the world, its impossible to stop so let them win?
Because 11 million or more Mexicans were brazen enough to break our laws we just cave in because we can't handle it? What message are we giving to the rest of the world when we won't enforce our present laws because 'it's too hard, too big of a job'. I wonder what the Iraqi's would think..how are we suppose to win there if we can't manage at home?
With fixed bayonets. Cut off the free welfare, education, and medical care and they'll likely leave on their own.
