Newt is the only one who sees the illegal situation as it is and not what we want it to be....it’s too dang late and there are too many of them to deport without a massive uprising of 30 million of them...and you can bet money they would do just that. Politicians will not risk that outcry...rather they will sift thru the rank and files and deport the undesirables and that’s the best we can hope for...otherwise securing the border is the only thing left to stop it.

Bottom line...it’s too late to deport them all...they have the numbers to fight it and will.

Exactly. Dream on if you think a million of illegals can be deported, no matter who says that. Newt is the only one who offered a realistic plan, and even implementing it would be pretty hard if not impossible.

Uh, Perry does too.

The proponents of amnesty are wont to create the false choice between a blanket amnesty and mass deportation of 12 to 20 million illegal aliens. In reality, we have other choices and alternatives that don’t reward people who have broken our laws with the right to stay and work here and an eventual path to citizenship. The 12 to 20 million illegal aliens did not enter this country overnight and they will not leave overnight. Attrition through enforcement works. We have empirical data from Georgia, Oklahoma, and Arizona proving that it does.

Conferring rights and privileges upon illegal aliens has a corrosive effect on the Rule of Law, the very foundation of our Republic. It is also a slap in the face to legal immigrants who have followed the rules and obeyed the laws. There are millions of immigrants waiting their turn overseas to enter the U.S. legally and approximately 40 million immigrants living in the U.S., most of whom followed the law. Recent polling by Rasmussen has shown that the American people are calling for increased enforcement of our immigration laws.

When you reward something, you get more of it. How can you possibly legalize the status of the illegals without inviting more in? Would you allow them to have their families join them?
