“Letting them stay” is not the issue. Think about the logistics that went into interning 112,000 Japanese at the beginning of WWII. It would take a large-scale military operation to physically deport 12 million illegals.
Can’t deport them. Can’t grant them amnesty.
Was there some large-scale military operation to import them in the first place? Eliminate the social welfare incentives, prosecute and fine their employers and they will self-deport.
Can’t deport them. Can’t grant them amnesty.

I beg you. Do not jump ugly on me. But what is wrong with Romney’s proposal? I did not say I want Romney. I said his idea was the best one. Simply make it illegal to hire them and they will self deport. If we can’t do that then we might as well just get rid of immigration laws altogether because why should we expect any new law to be enforced if a simple proposal like Romney’s is deemed unrealistic.
