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.

Will you acknowledge that our lack of law enforcement and amnesties to illegals has created a crime wave of illegal immigration that is conducive to further criminal activity such as drug smuggling and terrorism?

I was wondering when the Clintonian versions of this discussion would advance to the forefront. Congratulations. I didn't know Carville's FR handle until now.
