There are millions of illegals for many, complicated reasons. They won't all be deported for a number of obvious reasons. We don't deport children, the elderly, we don't generally break up families. This would be extremely foolish. We do deport most illegals, though, and 100% of illegals convicted of serious crimes.

Millions of illegals are here from an era when the laws were very different than today, so there isn't even agreement on what constitutes "illegal". Putting aside the logistic difficulties and economic damage, it would almost certainly be unconstitutional to deport every single person without documentation. There are 70 year old Americans who arrived illegally as little children, in an era when the laws regarding permanent residency were very different than today.

She wears them to hide her cankles. You can tell a lot about someone's health by looking at their ankles. Edema = significant health problems.

That said, wearing business attire pants is perfectly acceptable and there are MUCH better business attire options than the ugly pantsuits Hillary chooses to wear. Good grief, they look like those ugly 1970s polyester leisure suits. /SMH

We have tens of millions of illegals in this country. Why hasn't Obama deported them?

College/"Educational attainment" doesn't equate to smarts, let alone good judgement. You need to watch some old videos of Jay Leno's "jay walkers", especially when he asks basic questions of those with college degrees, those who have achieved "educational attainment", and what their answers are. It's scary. Questions a 5th grader should be able to answer.

It does provide insight though, example #4,925, why the clueless herd largely elects the same bought and sold/inept hacks back into office year after year.

Well, there are a number of obvious reasons that I or anyone else should be able to get away with robbing banks and not paying federal taxes, etc. We should ALL have the equal opportunity to violate federal law as we see fit, no?

Voting for someone who never ran anything in his life was ignorant. Voting for someone who was politically experienced but ran something incompetently will be ignorant.

No, see, in the lib/dem world, that's just a confused person who made an "unauthorized withdrawal". They deserve some kind of amnesty.

oh, and it's russia's fault.

We voted early this morning. My wife did a Hillary impersonation on the way into vote. She is the same age as Hillary. We were passing an elderly woman with a cane and I took the lead. The next thing I knew is a gasp out of the crowd and I looked back to see my wife on her knees. She fell as she stepped off the curb. Fortunately she did not break anything and her eyes did not roll (like Hillary). She got up saying that it is hard to keep a good deplorable down! I think she will be sore tomorrow.
