No, what Fred has said is that if we take away the attractions which induce illegals to come here (jobs provided illegally by employers, benefits provided stupidly by government), most of them will go home. That will leave a much more manageable number of illegals here for us to deal with.
it will take a proactive approach to enforce laws well enough for illegals to be driven from their jobs here and employers prosecuted.
i think it’s great but the media will have a field day
they will be running the raids on TV nightly
standing at the border filming sobbing families leaving...
gringo friends being interviewed about how wonderful the illegals that were their neighbors were and why should they have to go back to Mexico now?
the media will make this look like Schindler’s List meets Children of Men.
i’m quite serious folks, it’s one thing to talk about all this and say folks will do it but are we sure anyone will do what it takes to see what will be a defacto deportation take place so we can get a grip on this problem?
I really do not know.....it will take a commitment far beyond just campaign rhetoric.
I am not convinced even Tancredo or Hunter will do this either.
