They’re all here anyway, how are you going to round up 11 million people and send them back to Mexico City and tell them to apply legally in order to back in? It’s just not possible.

Your straw-man that anyone wants to round up illegals to force them to become citizens to vote (Dem) here is just dishonest.

But in a way you are useful.

One solution may be to charge non-citizens significantly higher taxes, so many leave on their own. If it cost them an extra $3000 per year for ten years before they got a chance to apply for citizenship many illegal immigrants may just go home. Better yet just provide a long term visa - no voting, and a higher, but not as high, tax rate for them and anyone employing them.

How about doing something innovative, principled, and honorable like denying them any social services except emergency health care.

How about using E-Verify for all employment positions no matter how trivial?

How long do you think they would stay around if they couldn't get a job, couldn't get unemployment, couldn't get any type of welfare?

That's right, they would self-deport.

How about we just do the right thing and not capitulate to the left and give them an unbeatable electoral advantage?

Rand Paul's Amnesty plan is just plain wrong.
