And somehow they are here today. That program was NOT successful at all. It probably made it worse.
Here’s how you get rid of most of them:
1) Build the wall - fast.
2) Outlaw birthright citizenship - unless one of your parents is an American citizen at the time of your birth, you can’t be an American unless you immigrate legally and go through the same process as anyone else.
3) Fine one small, one medium and one large employer IN EACH STATE the maximum amount per illegal employee, and feature stories about it in the press and media (like all of the stories about tax evaders in the weeks leading up to April 15).
4) Pass a law stating that anyone who immigrates here is forbidden for 10 years to be on ANY form of public assistance - federal, state or local. Ditto for any crimes (not parking violations or other victimless crimes, but specifically including ANY drug offense).
5) No illegal gets citizenship - EVER, even if we let them stay because they are otherwise decent and law-abiding members of society.
6) Blanket Central and South American newspapers with ads letting the people there know that the free ride in America is OVER: there’s a fence, no birthright citizenship, no jobs unless you come in legally, no welfare or food stamps, etc.
Most will self-deport after these steps are implemented. Self-deportation is easy - hop on a bus or plane and leave. No one will try to stop you. If you can’t afford it, we’ll happily pay the fare, and even provide you with a shower, food and a new set of clothes. But just go.
Good riddance Rubio. His watered down plan is as wide as the Texas Sky for all to see. See ya on the sidelines while Trump takes the lead and CRUZs ahead of you! ha :)
It would be interesting to try it. All of them are criminals. All of them are committing an ongoing crime by being here and most are committing other crimes to cover it up. Some are career criminals who are only here to engage in violent crime, drug crime, and illegal prostitution.
If we tried rounding illegals up, we might be surprised how many would leave on their own, particularly if we charged them for the costs of rounding them up and deportation. If we tried fining employers seriously rather than a token effort every election year, we might be surprised how many jobs would go to Americans instead of to illegals. The remaining jobs would still go to foreigners, one way or another, but they would go to them legally.
The sad thing about today's politics is that the most compassionate thing for foreigner workers is to enforce the law. Hillary/Jeb/Rubio's policies encourage the abuse of those people. If we restored the rule of law, those who did come would have the full protection of the law, and would make more money for working here - exactly what the Chamber of Commerce and the big government liberals are trying to avoid. If I were a skilled worker from another country trying to get a job that no American wanted, I would support Cruz or Trump.
My father was an illegal immigrant around 1950. He was originally from the Netherlands and wanted to get the heck out of Europe. He was educated at the University of Leiden having passed the intensive training in medical instrument making which is a little higher than tool and die maker. He went to Vancouver, Canada got a seasonal job with Alcan working in Kitimat, Canada. I have his world record medal for building what a that time was the worlds largest tunnel, dam, smelter project. His responsibility was to keep all those machines running. He was important enough to have his own cabin as opposed to staying in the dorm. Business shut down during the winter months.

My father wanted to come to the States so bad he grew impatient. He and his brother crossed the Canadian/US border with their new car and headed to the San Fransisco area. He got a job with the defense industry making missile triggers. They lived in Berkly. After a few months there was a knock on the door midday. My uncle was unemployed. He recognized the INS officers before opening the door, he headed out the back door, took the car and drove back to the Canadian border.
Later that day my father came home and was welcomed by two INS officers in his living room. He was arrested and put in jail for one night. In the morning, he was made an offer that he could not refuse. He was offered the opportunity to voluntarily go back to Canada and get back into line to come to the US OR he could refuse to go back, get deported and never ever come to the US. He chose the former. He finally came to Chicago, the Tool and Die Capitol of the world, in 1956 with his green card.
In short, Trump is right, Rubio, Jeb and all the others are full of shit. FYI, the way they located my father, when he crossed the border the border guards took down his license plate number. When the car did not return they tracked my dad down. All this was done without computers. This Fedzilla no can do attitude is insulting to us law abiding Americans.
Maybe he's worried Trump will deport him.
More specifically, regardless of PC, pro-welfare interpretations of the General Welfare Clause (1.8.1), since the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to tax and spend for welfare purposes, as a taxpayer I object to helping to pay for unconstitutional federal welfare for anybody, especially illegal immigrants, law-abiding or the criminal type.
Sen. Rubio is another good example why the ill-conceived 17th Amendment should never have been ratified.
Cut off the free money and watch them scatter like cockroaches.
In this country it’s unrealistic to prove your identity before you vote for president.
Enters country illegally = Criminal. Solved.
You wouldn’t have to. When Eisenhower did his deportation, most left voluntarily (self-deported.) The same thign would happen this time.
Cut off their benefits, increase the penalties for employing them (stiffer fines AND prison time), and they’ll be gone before you can say “Marco Rubio.”
Um, hey Marco...you don’t have to deport 11M people, you just start deporting (and/or prosecuting) them, and millions will leave on their own.
But it’s not unrealistic to reward criminals with Citizenship and taxpayer money, eh, Marco? I tell you another thing that is highly unrealistic Marco...........my ever voting for you!
Even if we just deport 5 million, that’s better than nothing.
Actually we don’t have to deport, just make the hiring of an illegal a felony and adopt Mexicos way of how they deal with illegals: 1st offense you do a year in jail. 2nd offense you do 10 years.
Unrealistic to “eliminate ‘racism’” too . . .but why aren’t you saying that, Marco?
If it’s unrealistic to deport 11 million people,
how realistic is it to grant 11 million people citizenship?
Rubio supposedly is of Cuban extraction, but this certainly makes him sound more like a Mexi-cant.
