To: all
James Ziglar was in Tim's hometown announcing that
official U.S. policy would be to ignore the word "illegal" in "illegal immigration."

****Why is it a ninth grader can figure it out, but not the President?
To: Registered
Yes, I do. It doesn't say that we want them all here, but it ISN'T practical or reasonable to send them all home. We can't afford the manpower to do it.
What are you going to do, go door to door in LA rounding them all up and forcibly putting them on trucks? Good idea, Registered! What about their belongings? What about the sick and frail? Children? That will make such good TV footage that we will never elect a conservative again!
By the way, you could take ALL police and INS agents in the LA area and you STILL wouldn't be able to do it. Plus, it would require checking EVERY house and asking to "see people's papers." Sounds a bit impractical and totalitarian to me.

It ISN'T practical to round up and deport all the illegal aliens. We don't have enough manpower or money to do it. Thanks, I will file that one away with "suicide bombers and nuclear terrorist attacks in the USA are inevitable".
During WW2, gas was rationed and factories worked round the clock in three shifts to make more than enough aircraft carriers, tanks, battleships to win a two front war against fanatical enemies. Now folks are complaining that deporting illegals is "too expensive" and "impractical". Oh plu-eeze quit whining.
War is an inherently impractical activity, but a lot more practical than surrendering freedom and values that you inherited from better generations who fought and sacrificed to keep it alive.
Time to get real about this war.

The illegal immigrants and President Bush deserve a reality update and a one-way trip back to Chihuahua. Bush has got some nerve, demeaning the meaning of American citizenship by proposing amnesty.ROTFL (thanks for the ping). You all know what's happened? In government, in the church, in the media and the arts, in business, being a good team player ("loyalty") and not making ripples has become more important than intelligence, knowledge, and integrity.
So, we get more wisdom from a 9th grader than from people who are paid the big bucks to figure out when there is a threat to the country. Keep on posting things like this from wise teenagers...it might embarrass the powers that be into doing something useful.
Like, looking beyond the next election or the next paycheck and on to the future of the country.

Lets see, the government fails, or wont stop the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens entering our country on a routine basis, and now it's not PRACTICAL to deport all these thousands and millions of illegal aliens. It's just not practical!
So I guess we all just sit on the porch and watch our country just get completely, 100% over-run and taken over by millions of illegal aliens.

That will make such good TV footage that we will never elect a conservative again! Yes, it's impractical. Door to door? No. But discovery upon reasonable search (i.e. traffic violation) should result in a one way ticket back to Guadalupe. Immediately. Their belongings? Too bad. The sick and frail? Sorry to say this, but screw 'em. They have plenty of sick and frail countrymen to commisserate with on their side of the border. Children? Paging Bill Clinton. What the hell does the age of the illegal immigrant matter? If the kid is a citizen, he/she has a choice. Imagine that.

You know as well as I that we have the resources to start deporting as many of these illegals that we find. It won't take door to door searches. All it takes is a backbone.

Hey pal, thanks for the link to your articles on WND. I'll be reading you from now on.

LOL!

You really should read back what you just posted and think about it for awhile.

fyi

What's infuriating is the "practicality" issue is a main impetus in the amnesty debate: it's more practical to document them, tax them, free up investigators for other assignments, etc.
The main problem with amnesties is that we are not dealing with a finite, one-time number of people. The aftermath of the first amnesty (one of Reagan's rare missteps) makes this perfectly clear. If we grant amnesty, it will cause a whole new flood of illegals waiting to be rewarded with the next one. And they'll get it, because no one is bringing up the obvious: Amnesty rewards ILLEGAL ACTIVITY.

Border Patrol Volunteer Reserve
Take all of the fathers and 40 and over men who are looking for a way to serve, and train us to work with the Border Patrol in support capacities. We could work in one or two week shifts once or twice a year.
If the President asked, he'd get hundreds of thousands of volunteers, and not a few of them would be Latinos.
What are you going to do, go door to door in LA rounding them all up and forcibly putting them on trucks?
Why go door to door, when you can find Illegals at the day laborer hangouts? I live in L.A., we know where to find them.
All we'd have to do is "hire" them in sting operations, and inter the ones who aren't here legally until their hearing.
The Volunteer Reserve could patrol the fences.
You'd quickly see the day laborer sites disappear, thus ending one of the magnets that draws Illegals here in the first place.
Those deported would spread the word south of the border. Those who escape deportation will be more likely to leave on their own.
To: Joe Hadenuf
No, you arrrest and deport those you find breaking the law, obvious violations, etc. What you cannot do is go house to house over the entire country looking for every single illegal. It is an impossibility, and besides, do you think they are all going to sit nicely at home waiting for you to show up? They will just move around.
Now of course, you could establish a national ID, and then set up checkpoints between each state, or even between each county, to control movement. And you could draft hundreds of thousands of citizens into an INS force to go house to house checking papers and verifying citizenship. Got YOUR birth certificate handy? How about fingerprints to verify that it IS your birth certificate?
All I am saying is that you have to get the illegals to go home through other means...such as the recent Social Security announcement that employers giving FAKE SS#'s to the government will be called to account. This means employers are not going to be able to hire illegals as easily...thus the job market will begin to dry up.
This is a situation that was created over a number of years and is not going to be solved overnight, regardless of who is the president. Sorry to disappoint you, but President Bush has no magic wand.

Too much common sense isn't good for ya ;-)

What's infuriating is the "practicality" issue is a main impetus in the amnesty debate: it's more practical to document them, tax them, free up investigators for other assignments, etc.Of course. Some of these people that post this bravo sierra should go back to their, "It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood thread".

Have you forgotten what party we're in?
To: Miss Marple
but..but..we're removing the word illegal from our official U.S. Domestic policy....
To: Sabertooth
Have you forgotten what party we're in?
Yeh, the party that has Trent Lott leading them in the Senate..har, har.
