This new poll finding, courtesy of CNN, is not all that surprising, but it is very illuminating of the demographic challenges the GOP faces right now: A big majority of Republicans believes that the government’s main focus on immigration should be not just on stopping the flow of illegal immigrants, but also on deporting those already here.
The poll asks:

The thought occurs to me that our transformation into "wusses" may have occurred with the passage of the 24th amendment. Once you allow non-taxpayers to vote, you have effectively diluted the sensibility out of the electorate by adding relatively foolish people.
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reformLatinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow...

Another way to encourage self-deportation is no-bag-limit hunting, but I’m afraid we’d lose a lot of illegal voters. The Dims don’t want that.
Yes, indeed I do among other serious measures to end our political whores from pandering for illegal alien votes.
I say we can. Here's how we do it:
1. The Federal Government solicits bids to deport criminal, illegal aliens back to the country from which they came.
2. Any transportation company can bid. Airlines, Bus lines, whatever. Don't really care.
3. Federal Government selects the winning bidder, let's call it "Deportation Solutions, Inc." Let's say for example, the lowest bid is $250 per deportee.
4. Whenever Immigration Services finds a criminal, illegal alien they're turned over to Deportation Services, Inc.
5. Deportation Services, Inc. transports the criminal, illegal alien back to where they came from and submits a bill for $250 back to the Federal Government, who then issues payment.
There are 11,000,000 (actually higher, but lets stick with the published number for now.)
11,000,000 people could then be deported for the estimated cost of $27,500,00,000. That's twenty-seven and a half billion dollars.
Surely the Federal and State Governments WASTE a hell of alot more money than $27.5 Billion dollars feeding, clothing, housing and educating these criminal illegal aliens.
It's a hell of alot cheaper to deport them and send them back!!! The only thing the Federal Government needs to do is just like I did: Find a way to privatize the deportation and let the free market do the rest.
There is NO reason 11,000,000 criminal, illegal aliens cannot be deported quickly and efficiently saving the US Taxpayers tens/hundreds of billions of dollars in the outyears.
Trump is saying what many of us are thinking.
It’s refreshing to see the average Republican still has a spine. Too bad the leadership does not.
Sargent is a barf-alert liberal, so it’s amusing to see him depict deportation as somehow “extreme.” It would be interesting to have a burglar wind up in his house and see how “extreme” he considers it to remove said burglar from his house.
If illegal aliens demanded smaller government and an end to political corruption they would be deported in no time.
Ted Kennedy died.
Touch’e!

Nay. It was the Nineteenth Amendment that sealed our fate. Once feelings became a principal force in the electorate, all reason, by necessity, was diminished.
duh
Put 7 digit fines on businesses that hire illegals, and they’ll start going home.
Imagine 12 million illegals coming out of the shadows and into the voting booth.
Ditto for the drug cartels.
Of course the Democrats will never come to our side.
But "Independents" and "Moderates" can be educated on the cost to society and the treasury.
Trump has started that process and it will move this crowd.
Little known, but the same is true in San Francisco. Next to Hispanics the next largest group of people here illegally are Irish. I thought it would be Asian but a buddy who works for La Migra schooled me. 100% of the Irish are visa overstays and they are primarily concentrated in the Richmond District
But the legislative stink lingers.
What a disgustingly insulting commment. You are obviously a Conservative Fraud.
Over 90% of all illegal scum are from the 3rd world from Mexico and Central America.
Do you approve of these 3rd world scum knowingly and willingly breaking our laws by crossing our Southern border? The vast majority of these 3rd world losers go right on many government programs -- bleeding the taxpayers.
You are a disgusting human -- FOAD.
