Careful, you are making sense about the situation.

That's not going to make the Tancredo-bots happy or willing to discuss matters.

hchutch, while Luis has identified one aspect of the problem with Illegals, I'm not aware that he or any of the other folks you flagged would characterize the politically unfeasible and logistically reckless Amnesty for millions of Illegals that you advocate as "making sense about the situation."

"Amnesty for millions of Illegals..."

Somewhere in my bookmarks, I have you disclaiming the "millions" thing.

You're back in the business of propaganda?

BTW, I don't see any mention of the amnesty issue here.

What's the matter? Am I beating up your colleages so badly that you need to start changing the discussion?

Well, a "deport `em all" strategy does not make sense, either.

Bullying honor students - as Tancredo tried to do - is not the solution, especially when we have to track down al-Qaeda punks and that like.

I have been giving this issue a lot of thought, and quite frankly, for a number of these cases, options short of deportation are appropriate.

Now, do they get off scot-free? No. Their kids will remain ineligible for student loans, and they will have to pay out-of-state tuition. Plus whatever fees they need to pay in order to earn legal status.

The rule of law is NOT endangered when one is given probation as opposed to a jail sentence.
