Why not?
There are 12 million here...we turned back 6 million...
Why can't both be true?
Because according to Bush's speech, we can turn back 6 million, but 12 million is an impossible task.
Bush: "It is neither wise nor realistic to round up millions of people, many with deep roots in the United States, and send them across the border."
We did 6 million but it wouldn't be realistic to do 12. Nice try Bush/Cheney, but that don't fly.
