You can't deport them in a day. You can deport them through attrition over time. There's never been a reason why we can't offered by the "soft liners" (since you find such labels helpful).
I'm not concerned that there is no opportunity for them in Mexico. I'm concerned about perserving opportunity for poor Blacks in America. There are millions of people who applied to come to America legally, and are patiently awaiting their turn. Have you no concern for the poor of others countries who are following the rules? I have no sympathy for the line skippers. Remember too that the "opportunity" illegals crossing our southern border are interested in is not the free market; its the free lunch. They apply for public assitence in a higher rates than any other group. The freebies they get at hospitals alone is why I pay between $10,000 and $12,000 yearly for health insurance. It's a cultural thing. --- In [email protected], "asburycouple" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Securing our borders is aboslutely critical - we should do whatever > it takes.
