Good luck with that deportation. Fifteen or twenty million takes a lot of buses.

This is an old tired argument also. We don't need to round up illegals, we merely need to shut off the reason they are here, I.E.: JOBS and WELFARE. If we deny them medical care, schools, welfare, jobs etc. they will deport themselves. First we have to enforce our existing laws and make sure we jail employers who hire illegals. The only new laws we need are stiffer penalties for employers that hire illegals. I would say a 10 year jail sentence should put the fear of god into most of them.

One thing is true, if we don't make an effort we won't accomplish the job. Defeatist such as yourself are actually open border asshats.

Close the border. It should have been closed twenty years ago. To call me an asshat or an open-border guy is no better than calling people xenophobes for being against illegal immigration.

calex, I know you feel strongly about this issue, but I wish you would talk like this on my threads.

Deportation would consume about 2% of our annual domestic air lift capacity and could be done for about $137 per head per average trip to Mexico City.

It's peanuts.
