It's NOT Romney's plan, and it IS happening Southern California already.

Starve the beast.

There needs to be a plan for dealing with them.

We have one it's called deportation.

The illegals are already into crime. First, get rid of their cover ~

It is fantastical because millions will still remain and pose huge problems.

That is because no candidate is proposing self-deportation only.

There doesn't seem to be any way to win on this issue, does there? Either they claim "no one can round up 11 million (ha!) illegals and send them home" or "self-deportation alone won't work."

Don't they call that having your cake and eating it too?

Instead of going back many will move into crime, drug dealing, illegal gambling, prostitution.

LOL! Was that a joke?

Well while I do not like Myth, I do agree with Myth’s plan, I dislike Newt’s immigration position even less, let’s hope we can get Newt to rethink his position.

Well, call me Pollyanna but hopefully we can actually DISCUSS THE ISSUE on this thread without it deteriorating into a bash-fest.

I live in NW Washington where we have a lot of apple orchards and berry farms.

Despite the berry growers having some really cool looking berry picking machines they still need a lot of manual (in this area that means Manuel) labor.

The problem isn't as simple as some like to think it is.

It is simple. People say it's hard becaue they don't want to deal with it.

There doesn’t seem to be a way to win on the issue. It’s just another political football tossed around for convenience. The truth is there is no politician who understands the reality of the CRISIS as you and I and millions of other citizens do. It is very frustrating.

But if we can get someone who simply sets about ENFORCING the laws we already have... Voila!

And for posters who don’t like any of the plans or approaches offered, well, they must in some way be profiting from the presence of illegals in the U.S.

Romney should thank Brian Williams for a censored audience in Tampa when he made that remark!

Is that the best you can do?

What would the audience have responded had they not been “censored?”

Hmmm?

Nana Mocks Romney’s “Self-Deportation” Plan For Illegal Immigrants

Yesterday, Mark Steyn subbing for Rush, said he was going to take advantage of romney's new program and self-deport himself back to Canada. He was funny yesterday.

Rush must have bitch slapped Steyn for ragging on Newt, because he was walking on eggs yesterday when it came to Newt.

When Romney was asked how he would round up the illegals..he said, “self-deportation” the audience let out a stiffled laugh. Yes, they were told to restrain from making any applause or loud reactions. I think it is the BEST illustration of how out of touch Mitt is....dumb comment. Too bad you dont like it. NEWTER ROMNEY!

Obviously the audience wasn’t from Southern California, and neither are you. If so, neither they nor you would find this subject so hysterically funny.

Sweet! Let's get started.

The problems with illegal immigration are

1. Cost to government and institutions of supporting illegals

2. Fraud damage through ID theft

3. Depressed wages introduced into what used to be decent paying blue collar jobs (roofing, meat processing, furniture)

4. Introduction of a shadow population within our society that is more vulnerable to crime and gang activity.

5. Damage to the above board/legal economy.

Solutions.

1 e-Verify requirement for all employees nationwide.

2. Stiff penalties for those that employ people without using e-Verify.

3. A guest worker program for agricultural workers. Workers only, but freedom to travel as desired back to their home country.

4. When law enforcement serves a warrant on an illegal alien, they take ICE with them. Any illegals caught at the residence are deported. Raise a gang banger, get deported.

5. No path to citizenship or legal status. You cheated to get in, you pay the price.
