I am not trying to make fun of you. All I am asking is how are you going to achieve this? You seem to pretending that the enforcement of the immigration laws would be costless.
-- Economist_MA

You aren't making fun of me when you continue to make up argument and attributes them to me, perhaps making yourself look bad, but not me.

I never said any such thing as "the enforcement of the immigration laws would be costless" as you falsely attribute to me.

It certainly might be costly monetarily, but far less costly than the high cost of arresting millions of illegal aliens for the tens of thousands of crimes they commit per year. In California, Texas and several other states illegal aliens make a large portion of the prison population. I would far rather pay the price of defending our border and for deporting millions of illegals than to allow the victimization of tens of thousands of Americans that many of the illegals commit crimes against. Is that even a cost in your way of reasoning?

Do you think that the billions of dollars that American citizens have to have to pay for "free" medical care for millions of illegals is costless?
Do you?

Do you think that the thousands per year for each of the illegals' children that Californians have to pay each year is costless?
Do you?

How many of your psychobabbler friends at the CFR advocate no multibillion dollar costing free education for illegal aliens?

This is getting tiring - I keep pointing out that you only look at one side of the equation and that deportation isn't costless, in particular in terms of our freedom. You come back at me telling me that I attribute things to you (which I don't) and then keep on listing costs of illegal immigration.

I am out of here for today, so I'll just repeat it one more time: Come up with a decent plan to reduce the number of illegals in the country. Then let's discuss the costs and benefits of it. So far you have only pointed out a problem, which is the easiest part.
