I can see your point, really hard to find them.
He’s never claimed amnesty.
If you enforce laws and close door many will self deport...in WETBACK in the 50s 80% self deported...maybe 90%
But you have to figure out who they are and who gets to apply for guest visa or not and where the cut off is.
Deporting 20-30 million folks through forced round ups ala Elia Gonzales ain’t gonna happen and the general public will never support that after being bombarded 24-7 on News channels of round ups...no way...no matter how much we here might not mind
This is issue unless ignore another 30 years will result in something between mass deportation and partial deportation hopefully and enforcement of the laws and closing the border.
A position held more or less by Newt, Cain, Mitt, Huntsman, Perry and even Pat Paulson...only Bachmann calls for total deportation
Well, not that it matters, because I live in California and the election will already be decided... BUT, I’m voting for Newt. I think he’s the only grown up in the bunch. Don’t flame me, because I won’t answer back... =)
This is a ridiculous straw man. We don't need mass roundups. We need a gradual tightening of the noose around illegals. Random raids need to be stepped up. Renting to illegals needs to become a criminal offense. Employing illegal aliens needs to be penalized with felony convictions, prison terms and harsh fines. Ultimately, the lawbreakers among us have to be held to account. Only then will the illegals give up and leave the country of their own accord. Note that there is no need for either amnesty or mass deportations. The current system of enforcement, without any further changes, would be preferable to legalization, for the simple reason that legalization would suck in millions of additional illegals waiting for the next amnesty to come along.
Wait a couple of years.
If the amount spent on welfare in all forms results in wholesale further increased unemployment, mortgage defaults, homelessness, and inability to feed their families, the solution will be mass deportations or worse, and entirely beyong the control of "government."
All except the ultra rich will be victims of inflation and/or spending that will make even the ignorant "compassionate" embrace the most radical of solutions (including the few outside of government employment still lucky enough to have a job.).
Imagine 30 or 40% unemployment, in addition to the 50% who currently pay NO income taxes.
