Here he continues to use the straw man argument “you can’t deport x million illegal aliens.” We don’t have to. Cut them off from welfare and other freebies and put a correct interpretation on the 14th Amendment that puts an end to “anchor babies” and they will, mostly, self deport.

That argument is a favorite of establishment Republicans who are in most cases in favor of amnesty, but who won't come out and admit it. So instead, they try to make a case that nothing can be done about illegal immigration and that it's a lost cause. You'll notice that they're never so defeatist on issues that actually matter to them.

I have seen it over and over again. It does not work with me, but every time the political class uses the “can’t deport x million illegal immigrants” argument, they get away with it.
