I'm getting pretty tired of this line and I'd like to point out how ridiculous it actually is, by way of analogy.
Ever been on the highway? Ever notice all those folks going over the speed limit? (I'm one of them, by the way.)
Imagine if the govt broadcast "We can't possibly pull over millions of speeders every day!" and, to top it off, make good on not doing it.
I believe you'd be seeing a lot more speeders on the road. Especially if they never see anyone getting pulled over for it.
Since it is actually true that there are not enough resources to pull over everyone, what the govt does instead is:
1) pull over who they can, limited by resources.
2) occasionally broadcast public service announcements such as "We're going to step up enforcement of speeding this holiday weekend..."
But what do they do for illegal immigration is -
1) Broadcast "We Can't Possibly Deport Millions of Illegals..."
How stupid can you be? It's really no wonder folks stream in.
If this was only broadcast on the democrat side of politics, it'd just be another ridiculous leftist argument.
But since the repub majority adds their voice to the choir, it becomes a ridiculous form of government.
I tire of those ‘facts’ as well.
Operation Wetback deported 1.3 million illegals in only a few months.
As the OP asserts, with proper ‘propaganda’ and an actual ‘immigration policy’, a ‘real’ President has the power to actually do something about it if they have the will...without multiplying budgets.
I’m leaning heavily to supporting Trump if he would commit to eliminating the border problem, H1B visas, downsizing government and prosecute Hillary, Lerner et al (hey: everyone’s got to have their fantasies)...
A judge in Dallas was quoted in the paper as saying, “We can’t do anything about people who skip out on jury duty. We don’t have the resources.” He went on to say they were going to offer free coffee and wifi to try to attract potential jurors. You can decide for yourself if this caused even fewer people to respond.
Sure we can. They got here didn’t they? They can get back to where they came from. We won 2 world wars we can deport a few million invaders.....

Self-deportation is the only reasonable answer. Take away all the benefits and everyone will leave on their own.
Though, it’s questionable that Mexico would be a better alternative even when US benefits dissolve. Maybe they will go to Canada... in which case, sorry Canada :(
Press 1 to speak English.
Press 2 to deport illegals.
Doesn’t sound tough!
The most stick-stone stupid comment I hear is how ‘expensive’ and ‘massive’ it would be to remove all these illegals.
(I use the word ‘remove’ rather than ‘deport’ because illegals have no legal standing. We would ‘deport’ someone who overstayed a visa or somesuch, but if they are illegal entrants they are merely ‘removed’ from the premises.)
One at a time, they are discovered by local law enforcement during the regular course of business; traffic stops, regular arrests, etc., and turned over to ICE.
Get a busload together and BAM, over the border they go and drop them off 50 miles or so into Mehico.
We owe these illegal entrants NOTHING; no hearings no lawyers zip zilch. We might give them a bottle of water and a snack for the bus ride, but that’s about as far as the taxpayers’ generosity need extend.
I hear a lot of Espanol spoken in WalMart in Williston, North Dakota when I am in there. It didn't used to be that way, and these folks aren't here hoeing sugar beets.
Where there’s no will there’s no way.
Why not? Show me the law or rule that prevents this.
I suggest you read the article to understand the context.

The point is that deportation is part of the law as it is in every country on earth. The Left is trying to make any deportation as something immoral and inhumane.
You should read Trump’s immigration position paper.
Stop the BS, send them out of here
You posted those facts? Do not understand your comment.
Somehow I am not surprised.
Stop any financial or other support for these invaders and enforce the laws on those who illegally hire them. Most will leave soon thereafter. Those who don’t: seize their assets and deport them immediately.
Read the article to see the context for FDR reference.
If they haven't got them arrest the employer.
Under Eisenhower they didn't have that law but the Border Patrol was in the San Fernando valley 5 days a week raiding businesses and arresting and deporting the ilegals.
If they got that far north they didn't last more than 2 weeks and the employers quit hiring them.
Eisenhower got rid of them with fewer laws to work with.
