And that 11 million number is underestimated by a factor of two or three. Add in the effects of chain migration and the total number balloons to something like 75 million.
We are doomed to the politics of Latin American voters.
I really fail to see the issue. If we start wholesale deportations, along with denial of taxpayer funded food, education, transportation, shelter, etc., most will leave of their own accord.
Genuine hardship cases could be considered in deportation hearings; the process does not need to be heartless, but it does need to be steadfast and relentless over at least two to four years.
Other countries manage to control their borders; even Mexico. I refuse to imagine that we are incapable of doing the same.
The elites do quite well in Latin American banana republics as long as they pay for political protection and have private security. Importing this kind of moral and economic corruption is what Marxist's have wanted for America for 100 years.
