That's a good point. However, who in their right mind thinks we will ever deport ALL the illegals who are here now. MB and Mitt know that, also, and are being deceitful.

Those two, MB/MR, work hand in hand. Ron Paul said it - it will never happen. Newt is being realistic and NOT tickling the ears of conservatives. America has to own up to her own failures. To expel those who have been here for 20/25 yrs and have settled down to a good way of life - we must eat as our own failure. If they get rid of the rest, it will be a huge accomplishment and I'm all for it. I doubt Mitt is - who would do his manicured lawn.

Agree with you 100%. Deportation of folks who committed a single misdemeanor (yes, according to code, it’s about the same crime as a speeding ticket) years ago but who have been productive folks since then will not be deported REGARDLESS of who is President.

I could see the case for making it a felony, but it’s simply not. So it is what it is. And I like living in reality. And other reality is, the logisitics of doing so would far outweigh the benefits.

Seal the border. Kick out those arrested for drug, traffic, other crimes. Stop the hand outs. Do that, and the problem is mostly solved.

But mass deport? Really?
Bachmann won’t. Cain won’t. Mitt won’t. Just won’t happen. Newt should have said that, but he didn’t and he will pay some kind of price for it. Anyone who says otherwise is ignoring reality.

Wasn't it about 25 years ago when these folks, under Reagan, were able to get amnesty?

Once they become US Citizens they will be entitled to all the goodies given out by our Federal Government - and are we, the Taxpayers, willing to take on this additional burden?

If we can't round them up and send them back, let them live under the radar and support themselves on their own dime. They have been doing this for at least the last 50 years. Now let's secure the border...and frankly, I don't care if you do it with an electric fence, alligators, guards, pit bulls or drones. Keep illegals out of our Country!
