“Well, I suppose we ought to just roll over and die then. Thanks for the suggestion.”

So those are the only choices? How about this: we let them-self deport. We simply make sure that employers aren’t employing illegal immigrants, we do NOT provide a pathway to citizenship for people who broke into this country, we make sure that immigrants aren’t benefiting from the welfare state without paying taxes, and all at the same time we have an employee-sponsored guest-worker program. No quotas, we simply allow the market to self-limit the amount of immigrants coming in by requiring employers to pay a price for each visa. The price can be worked out, maybe a payroll tax or something.

But actually rounding people up and deporting them a la Elian Gonzalez? Politically impossible, if you ask me, and if it were put into widespread practice, then the media would get it on video and make screaming crying immigrant children the face of the problem and we’d never get anywhere.

What you haven't realized yet is that the same elements that make it politically impossible to do the above also make it impossible to implement ANY solution at all, at least one that would be acceptable to your average American. That is why we can't worry about what obstacles we face, because the Left will oppose EVERYTHING. They are not interested in what works - they are interested only in tearing this country down and replacing it with their Marxist dreams. Replacing the American culture with one that is not opposed to socialism is an easy way to accomplish this.
