I can tell you right now that deporting ilegals who have been here for years isn’t going to happen.

We can cry, and moand and scream our heads off, but they are not going to be deported.

If we can get rid of the criminal element and close the borders that is about the best we can hope for.

Catch a drunk driver that is illegal he should be gone even if he has 50 years here.Criminal offenses, the same.Anyone who thinks any of these candidates is going to deport long time illegals is dreaming.
Even if a president wanted to he couldn’t do it. The Congress won’t let him. A Republican led congress won’t do it. Ity aint going to happen.

Getting rid of Obamacare and closing the border is my main objective in voting for a candidate.

Since there'll be no mass deportations, how about we just stop rewarding them for breaking our laws. No free medical, no free education, no free food, no vote, no home ownership.

Would that be doable?

Dang, just add amnesty by a different name, that is what everyone want when they start talking deporting. If they have no jobs, and no government hand out they will go home.

It happened under Eisenhower.

It was called "Operation Wetback"

Bet if you cut off the freebies and jobs the illegals would self deport.

Well a president could just issue a memo or signing statement like Bush did with Saudis and Obama did with Somalis as an end run around congress.
