No one at the debate made this point, though Trump hinted around at it. You don't really need to deport 11 million (or 30 million, or whatever) by sticking them on a plane and flying them home.
If deportation exists as a credible threat, many will self-deport. Take away the job opportunities and - MOST important - the ridiculous amounts of benefits, and many more will leave. So long as the rest exist as a manageable number, we can figure something out.
Just my unsolicited $0.02.
It drives me crazy! Why can't one candidate say that? It is just common sense. Use the IRS as an example. They audit maybe 1% of the tax returns every year, but the threat keeps most in line. Its called a deterrent.
No question about it, and it’s obvious to anyone with a brain. That is what happened with Ike’s campaign to deport all illegals. He starts deporting thousands a day, and thousands more immediately flee. Those who claim that ridding ourselves of illegals is impossible don’t hate Trump because he is too liberal. They hate him because THEY’RE too liberal.
That’s the key, here. Break the BigGov lawlessness. Everything from the gunrunning to Mexican drug gangs to illegal immigration is caused by BigGov. Lois Lerner is still collecting a check.
Trump is a little thinker. He’s going after the symptom while he reinforces the cause. All his solutions involve more government and more government intrusion.

Plus, Trump has positions that Walker has taken already, but doesn’t get credit for.
Every conservative knows that more government means less individual. Those are the facts.
