Conservative commentator George Will did double duty today, first defending the Constitution from those who believe the document was intended to be interpreted flexibly, and then later on This Week, also delivering a message much less likely to be cheered in some conservative circles. Will argued that it is impossible for the deportation of all illegal immigrants in the country to ever be considered a realistic solution.
Will believed that if the borders are secured, then and only then, could a non-politicized discussion take place about what to do with the illegal immigrants currently in America. If there are 11 million illegal immigrants in the country, Will explained why it’s impossible to think “rounding them up” could ever be possible:
“To deport them would require not just police measures we would never tolerate. The majority have been here five years or more, they’ve had children here, their children are citizens. But to depart them would require a line of buses bumper-to-bumper extending from San Diego to Alaska. Not going to happen. And as soon as people come to terms with that, then we get on to settling it.”
Given that “a secure border is not a weird aspiration,” Will argues Americans are not xenophobic and merely just want security. Unfortunately, such a common sense, middle of the road approach probably seems out of reach given how highly politicized the immigration debate always gets.

Ten percent is totally doable, and would be a huge help.
After all, who would mow the yards of these elites who live in the DC area?
“..institute Mexico’s illegal alien laws.”
SkyDancer has the answer!
Do to illegals what Mexico does to illegals trying to sneak across Mexico’s southern border. That is a de facto Free Fire Zone.
The good news is that today’s Mexicans are not killing and eating those they define as “other”. So far, they only kill them.
However, given that they are hacking heads, arms, genitals, etc off their victims using machetes, and given that they are burning their victims alive, there is yet hope that the “Spirit of the Bronze People” may yet arise again!
Hack out those hearts for the Gods (or the Drug Lords)and eat the rest. The Spirit of the Aztec will once again feast!
We can rid ourselves of these illegals by making it impossible for them to get work or any benefits.
Just bring back the Bounty - say $500 and all the assets belonging to the illegal immigrant.
Such Bounty driven direct reduction of the illegal immigrant population would immediately produce a new industry in all of America’s states.
Contact your Congress Critters Tuesday.
;-)
Same goes for immigration, Georgie. Just deport them one at a time, please, and you've made a difference.
“i think he likes the cubs”
He does, but he’s a minority owner of the Orioles.
By the same faulty logic, you cannot prosecute all tax evaders, so why prosecute any?
The States are proving that if you pass laws that remove their incentive for staying, they will self deport.
Exactly. Stabilize them, then transport the criminal to the closest border town—with the bill to the nearest consulate.
You think that’s tough? Try telling a bill collector for your muncipal hospital, “Gee, things are kinda tough right now... lost my job. Yeah, guys I don’t know who speak pidgeon English are doing it now a lot cheaper.” And good luck with that.
These are foreign nationals, here in knowing violation of our immigration laws, living off our tax dollars. Let me tune up my little violin and play, “Mi Corazon Pumps Purple P*** For You.” Get the hell out of our country and don’t come back!
We’re fighting Libya? What the hell for? Our bad neighbors to the south give us hundreds of valid reasons every day for bombing/shooting them.
All will require a different administration and a Congress (both houses) with the will and guts to support it.
Democrats want the future votes. RINOs like Karl Rove have a wet dream that Hispanics will some day miraculously become Republicans. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its members want cheap labor.
Just why would we never tolerate police measures necessary to remove them? It does not require anything other than using the same necessary force to deal with other criminals. In fact most could be removed by strict enforcement or the law.
Get the IRS involved and punish those who hire illegals.
I already know it is no problem to stop them coming in. I saw an interview with Harlon Carter back in the 60’s when he was head of the border patrol. He said stopping them from entering was no problem. He said just give him the resources and he would stop it cold. He also gave the impression that it was not all that much more, just having the right attitude.
When they can’t get government benefits and free healthcare and automatic citizenship (which the constitution clearly does not do), they will leave on their own. Those who don’t should be hounded.
He must be taking a break from attacking female Republicans to make vapid remarks on other subjects?
“Exactly. Stabilize them, then transport the criminal to the closest border town—with the bill to the nearest consulate.”
I must disagree. The Messican Government, either through their consulates or in any other way, will not pay those bills. After all, Messicans are going to be Messican.
As for allowing the illegal Messican to die on the street outside the hospital - what do you think happens in Messico?
More to the point, what do you think Messico does with non-American patients presenting at a Messican hospital with an emergency and no money?
Actually, I would appreciate any hard data from a reliable source regarding these issues. It is always possible there might be some treaty agreement which our neighboring nations to the south actually follow.
Maybe.
Perhaps.
You can be overdrawn .2 cents out of a bank in Nevada, and the bank in Hubcap Arkansas knows it in 20 seconds. You can accidentally fail to report $20 to the IRS, and you'll be threatened with fines and jail...8 year old girls can't operate cool-aid stands without a license, without some government mobster threatening the kid.
But ya can't deport illegal aliens.
Try the Rush Limbaugh solution.
Begin deporting 3% of them and see how this works
Can we trade George Will for Hugo Chavez?
“1. Have the IRS wash all W2 Forms through SSA computers to find all bogus SS numbers or duplications”
Gee - that’d be one easy way to get rid of this traitor in our white house, wouldn’t it?
If illegal alien employment laws were ever effectively enforced - the illegal aliens would self-deport over a number of years as employment dries up... Then if Federal and State benefits given to illegal aliens were denied - even more illegal aliens would self-deport... Add to these types of efforts - a stimulus payment to ‘GO HOME’ and travel assistance and Get out of the Country - without going to jail CARD and the illegal alien problem in the USA would drop by 80 percent in less than five years... BUT - we have Democrats who want VOTERS and Republicans who want CHEAPER Labor for their business buddies... so we let the whole mess FESTER into a BIG OLD BOIL ... not just a pimple
If we can raid a Pakistani compound surrounded by 100,000 Pakistani troops with one Seal Team, we can raid narcoterrorist compounds in Mexico...
Once the drug lords are gone, you won’t have people fleeing for their lives or have drug lords sending their distribution soldiers to the USA.
