I know he's supposed to be smart, but where's the logic. The longer an illegal immigrant has broken our laws and sucked tax dollars from our pockets, we should have an obligation to keep them. That seems to be what he's saying. Someone needs to let him know that the people he thinks should stay have stolen from the American people. If the thought of breaking up families is too much for him, let's send their children and grandchildren home with them. IMHO, all their property should be confiscated to help reimburse the taxpayers for the handouts they received.
The logic is political.
