The Constitutional Amendment Con

I am sick of this false argument. There is no need to deport 12-14 million. It is necessary to make the first ones STICK. The rest will deport themselves.

Specially if it is made clear that the ones who deport themselves have the option of returning legally, if they choose. The ones who must be unwillingly deported permanently forfeit that option.

Criminals, goes without saying, are jailed appropriately, deported and permanently barred.

It's not rocket science. But it does require character, commitment, and the ability to see the clear distinction between "the right thing" and the "easier thing!"

[Publius6961]

We definitely need other limits on congress and president's power too. These Senators are arrogant after a few years.

My favorite, and ever present example of this arrogance from MY senator, Diane Feinstein, when a delegation from the most agriculturally productive valleys in the country visited her and expressed concern for the water supply and the health and food supply of people over bugs and bunnies, she famously snapped,

"It's the LAW! Deal with it!"

I hate that woman.

Actually, Eisenhower did not “deport millions” of illegals. He assigned one of his former generals to do two things: crack down on the border, and crack down on the enployers of illegals. In that effort, a minority of the solution involved deportation by the US government.
The majority of the results were “self-deportation.” Recognizing the handwriting on the wall, hundreds of thousands of aliens picked up and went home to Mexico. Exactly the same thing was happening in Arizona until the idiot judge Bolton enjoined the enforcement of the law.

If the American press would read the actual history of Eisenhower’s effort (the last successful one) it would bury the “you can’t deport millions of people” false claim.
