Pretty sure we've seen the same video and images of invaders climbing fences at our borders. Wall first, deportation and enforcement in the mean time, then deportation seems to be ideal.

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.
Basic but great point.
Great analogy on the speeding. Ill use that. In the mean time, we will never know unless we try. They have no right to be here — none.
xlnt
“or they will just cross again the next day.”
Shoot them.
Because unless Mexico puts the people tossed out into prison, those who are thrown out will come back and do business again.
Easy,make it a felony for any employer who hires an illegal,no welfare,housing or education.
You wont need to deport them
By the Way, Ike’s leadership also help win WWII. (source Wikipedia)
Operation Wetback (1954): Implementation and tactics[edit]
Operation Wetback was a system of tactical control and cooperation within the U.S. Border Patrol and alongside the Mexican government.[30] Planning between the INS led by Gen. Joseph Swing and the Mexican government began in early 1954 while the program was formally announced in May 1954.[31] On May 17th, 1954 command teams of 12 Border Patrol agents, buses, planes, and temporary processing stations began locating, processing, and deporting Mexicans that had illegally entered the United States. 750 immigration and border patrol officers and investigators, 300 jeeps, cars and buses, and 7 airplanes were allocated for the operation.[32] Teams were focused on quick processing and deportation, as planes were able to coordinate ground efforts more quickly and increase mobility.[33] Those deported were handed off to Mexican officials, who in turn deported them into central Mexico where there were many labor opportunities.[34] While the operation would include the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago, its main targets were border areas in Texas and California.[35] Overall, there were 1,078,168 apprehensions made in the first year of Operation Wetback, with 170,000 being captured from May to July 1954.[36] The total number of apprehensions would fall to just 242,608 in 1955, and would continuously decline by year until 1962, when there was a slight rise in apprehended workers.[37] During the entirety of the Operation, border recruitment of illegal workers by American growers continued due largely to the inexpensiveness of illegal labor and the desire of growers to avoid the bureaucratic obstacles of the Bracero program; the continuation of illegal immigration despite the efforts of Operation Wetback was largely responsible for the failure of the program.[38] Despite the decline in apprehensions, the total number of Border Patrol agents more than doubled to 1,692 by 1962, and an additional plane was also added to the force.[39] In terms of apprehensions, Operation Wetback was immediately successful. However, this success would be short lived, as the program would fail to limit the number of workers entering the United States from Mexico illegally.[40] The program would also result in a more permanent, strategic border control presence along the Mexico-United States border.[41]
That is why you START with a fence. Not an open border.
It is not necessary to round them up.
Make being in the US illegally an “A” felony. Upon arrest you are held without bail. Upon conviction you face immediate deportation, and PERMANENT BAN FROM RE-ENTRY FOR ANY REASON.
Make illegal re-entry a capitol crime with execution to be in 24 hours unless that day is Sunday in which case it will be done on Monday.
Give them 180 days to get their affairs in order and get out.
They will leave on their own.
If they said they would pull over everyone going 56 mph in a 55 mph zone, you would have a whole lot of people in Cruise Control at 53 or 54 mph. There would be few enough violators that they could pull them all over. You can enforce the law; it just takes a decision to do so.
The same is true with illegals. They cannot deport 11+ million illegals. What they can do is start deporting illegals and confiscating their property to pay for the cost of deportation, imprisoning for a few months those without the resources to pay that cost. The vast majority will leave rather than lost what they have, and we can easily deport the rest. That’s why I chose Cruz control. Senator Cruz has the will to protect our country, including to deport criminals who broke teh law to come here.
“We Can’t Possibly Deport Millions of Illegals...
Comment attributed to Ted Nugent regarding the topic:
“Mexico did.”
LOL....one of my favorite Nuge-isms
No, but just like the starfish on the sea shore, if you deport one you make a difference.
Funny....Mexico has deported millions of illegals for many years. I think we have a bit more resources and power than Mexico.
I like Ike’s policy!
Place a bounty of $100-$500 per illegal. Then watch em get turned over or disappear!
You left off the last part of the sentence:
"Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason."
$Trillions are literally being made off of illegal immigration. From no-doc loans to slave labor & voting, to human trafficking, drugs/arms running and everything else in between, the DC cartel and their fellow racketeers are simply raking it in.
If you had a stake in the status quo, how hard would you fight to keep the borders open? What the criminals fear more than the end of their gravy train is an aggressive prosecution regime that could put hundreds of them in jail under RICO statutes.
