But this idea that we’re going to track down and deport every single illegal immigrant, no exceptions? That’s not going to happen. It isn’t realistic.

If you agreed with me, you wouldn't put up the phony strawman about tracking down and deporting every single illegal alien. Attrition thru enforcement means you make life so miserable for illegals including cutting off the job magnet, checking on immigration status on a lawful stop by police, cutting off various benefits like welfare and food stamps, etc. that you will force people to self-deport.

I know of no polticial candidate, Dem, Rep, or otherwise who has suggested that we track down and deport every single illegal alien. It is a phony strawman used by the left that offers the false choice between a blanket amnesty or mass deportation. It is pure nonsense. That is why I repeated my response to you.

I don’t know why you’re even bringing any of that up, since nobody disagrees with the premise that enforcement thru attrition works.
