Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida said Thursday that while some illegal immigrants will have to be deported, it's unrealistic to think it can happen for all of the approximately 11 million in the United States.
Mr. Rubio was asked if he would accept or denounce 2016 GOP presidential rival Donald Trump's tough deportation plan, and the Florida senator said both sides have valid points to make.
"We are going to have to deport some people - otherwise, if you're not going to enforce your laws, what's the point of having those laws?" Mr. Rubio said on Fox News' "America's Newsroom." "Criminals are going to be deported. People that haven't been here very long are going to be deported. People overstaying visas are going to be deported - that's how you enforce immigration laws.
"The flip side of it is I do not believe you can round up and deport 11 million, especially people that have been here 15 years, have not otherwise violated the laws, can pass background checks and so forth," he continued.
Host Bill Hemmer said it sounded a little like Mr. Rubio was "trying to ride the middle line here."
"It's not about middle line - it's reality," Mr. Rubio said. "Yes, people will have to be deported - there's no doubt about it

This is not a hard problem. Cut off all gov’t subsidies of any kind: welfare, social security, disability, medical, education, housing, etc.
Create large business penalties for hiring illegals.
Use IRS database to track down and begin deporting. Without employment and with no gov’t subsidies available, they have no choice but leave. And if they don’t, we can easily ship them out once rooted out.
But rounding up all the guns of almost 90 million Americans is doable.
I don’t find it unrealistic in the least.
We can have 90% of them out in six weeks.
Marco, thanks for letting us know you are not up to the job. Maybe LaRaza has a lobbying position open.
Round up as many as you can. Put bounties on them and offer rewards for information leading to deportations.
At the same time make it difficult to impossible for them to have decent lives here.
Punish those who hire them severely. Offer big rewards for those who blow the whistle on those who hire them. Competitors of restaurants and landscapers and American workers will call in millions of tips.
Disqualify illegals from all public services including hospitals, police and courts. Essentially give every American a carte blanche to do whatever they please to illegals with no legal repercussions. The invaders will rush out of the country by the millions.
Totally apart from anything else, any politician who keeps using that lying “11 million” number is instantly disqualified from any consideration for any support of any kind.
Like during Eisenhower’s time ... put all those idle cruise and container ships to use ... one way trips for illegals to points far south and to Terra del Fugo for the lot.
If they were cut off from all of their “benefits” such as welfare, scholarships, driver’s licenses and the ability to work, they would soon self deport.
Why can’t we deport 11 million people?
Mexico did.
Call Oklahoma for the plan:

TULSA, Oklahoma (CNN) — Weeks of protests, rallies, lawsuits and candlelight vigils failed to stop a new state immigration bill — HB 1804 — from becoming the law in Oklahoma.

Vigils like this one in Tulsa, Oklahoma, last week were unable to stop a tough new immigration law.
The law went into effect Thursday and is intended to make life difficult for illegal immigrants in Oklahoma.
Its authors say they’re sending a very clear message: If you’re an illegal immigrant, you are not welcome.
“I’m convinced illegal aliens will not come to Oklahoma, or any other state, if there are no jobs waiting for them.” said state Rep. Randy Terrill, a Republican and the law’s author.
“They will not stay here if there are not taxpayer subsidies and they certainly won’t stay here if they ever encounter one of our fine state and local law enforcement officials,” he added. “They’ll be physically detained — until they’re deported.”
The new law restricts the ability of illegal immigrants to obtain government IDs or public assistance. It also gives police authority to check the immigration status of anyone arrested, which can lead to deportations.
It doesn’t stop at illegal immigrants. The law also makes it a felony for U.S. citizens to knowingly provide shelter, transportation or employment to illegal immigrants.
The message has been received loud and clear. Many in Oklahoma’s Latino community say people are staying home, fearful police will arrest and deport them.
“They’re afraid they’re going to get deported. They’re just afraid,” said Alex Yoguez, a juice store owner who relies on Latino customers for her business to survive.
Yoguez said her business is normally filled with customers. “We are down 50 percent just today,” she said Thursday, the day the law went on the books.
Latino supporters are up in arms about the way the state now views illegal immigrants who have been here for many years.
“You are guilty of ethnic cleansing in this community! You are going against my community!” said the Rev. Miguel Rivera of the National Coalition of Latino Clergy.
The clergy group filed a federal lawsuit against the state saying the state has overstepped its bounds by enforcing immigration law, which is under federal jurisdiction. A hearing in the case is scheduled next week. An earlier attempt to get an injunction to prevent enforcement of the law was turned down by a judge.
It’s not yet clear how the law will be enforced. Illegal immigrants in Oklahoma fear police will use the law for roundups of anyone working and living in the state illegally.
“I don’t know if we’re going to be actively looking for them,” said Tulsa Police Capt. Steve Odom, who works in the Latino district of Tulsa. “If we come across them in the course of a call, or a course of an investigation, certainly we’ll take the appropriate action.”
The Tulsa Police Department said it has not received guidance from the district attorney’s office on how to enforce the law. The department points out that suspicion of illegal activity is not enough, and proving the intent of U.S. citizens is a challenge.
Still, many in Oklahoma say Latinos have been leaving by the thousands since the law was passed in May.
“We are losing a lot of business, a lot of business,” said Antonio Perez, who owns Mexican grocery stores. “I would say between the four stores we have lost about $300,000 a month in sales.”
So far, the absence of the Latinos on the streets may be the only visible result of the law
You don’t have to round them up. Just deny them the freebee’s they came here for and they’ll self deport.
Eisenhower proved that if you catch and deport 1,000 illegal aliens, another 10,000 will flee the U.S. before they can be deported.
Obama proved that if you deport 0 illegal aliens, 10,000,000 more will flood across the border into the U.S.
The pro-amnesty types like to portray the choice as being between mass deportation or a blanket amnesty. There are other alternatives including attrition thru enforcement. If we enforce our existing immigration laws, many will leave voluntarily. It is not necessary to round up the lawbreakers house by house.
Good point. 11 million plus 1 million per year for 20 years does not equal 11 million.
That 11 million number has been claimed for years and years.
It’s probably more like 40 million or 50 million by now, with more illegals coming in every day.
And thanks to the anchor baby / birth “right” citizenship nonsense, babies born to illegal women in the U.S. in 1998 or earlier will be old enough to vote in 2016.
“You only have to deport a few thousand and make the penalty for employing an illegal alien harsh enough and they will go back home.”
Exactly! As was pointed out at the debate, 40% of those here illegally are visa overstays. So all this BS about all of them getting their day in court is just that. So let’s just start with overstays and those who are already under a deportation order. This boogieman that we are going to go door to door and round people up is just a scare tactic. If we got only half of them, it would be a start.
What I would like to know is if we were invaded by 11 million armed soldiers would we do everything possible send them back or would we just call it impossible and just let them take over our country? If we would fight to save our country from armed invaders why can’t we fight unarmed invaders?
Chuck has his hand up Marco’s backside pulling his strings.
If the GOP-e forces this amnesty cabana boy on us, it’s going to be a trifecta for them: McLame, Romney and Rubio.
It is not unrealistic to think we can round up and expel eleven million Mexicans. We may have one hell of a fight but it can be done.
