I asked you a fair question considering you made it sound as if the problem is too big to deal with. So it is natural to wonder what number would change your thinking from lets enforce our existing laws via deportation, vs. the excuse that the problem is too big to attempt it?
It's an irrelevant question. We can not deport anyone. It's impossible. If you disagree, explain why.

Quote:
Remember, after the Democrats reneged on the agreement for what was to happen after the Reagan amnesty, there was a point (in people like your minds) that we should be deporting new illegal aliens who get into the country.
So at what point in your mind did it become too much of a burden or logistically "impossible"?
I have no clue and it's irrelevant.

Quote:
As to the overall point, every illegal removed is one step closer than we were before. I obviously agree that the bad hombres should be the first to be targeted. Then we should move on to those who are taking services/benefits without contributing to the communities, due to a lack of skills, intelligence or work ethic. Remember some of these "dreamers" are as dumb as turnips and cannot hold a job because they cannot learn a skill/trade, so they wil be an economic burden in this country for their entire lives.
What happens to the rest is another matter, but getting rid of the aforementioned by arrest/deportation, self deportation incentives, or outright payment to leave should be occurring post haste.

You can argue we should pick the low hanging fruit and we can but it's doing nothing. Deporting 2% is no different than taking an aspirin for brain cancer.

We can go after the incentives. Politicians will not because Wall Street is having none of that.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has officially gained agency-wide access to a nationwide license plate recognition database, according to a contract finalized earlier this month. The system gives the agency access to billions of license plate records and new powers of real-time location tracking, raising significant concerns from civil libertarians.
If that's the case why are'nt the Trump Cult complaining about "big government" and personal intrusion?

Oh''... is it because their orange man with faded blond hair is behind it....!!! so they eat it up, like the self contradicting minions they are. Right Wingers are happy, As long As they think it to be a means to discriminate against others.

Let's just see how they like it when it tracks the alt right, kkk, the wife-beating, and woman stalking minions of the Right Wing, and the Sovereign Citizen groups that want to destroy the government, and then tracks the families of the "school murdering kids, who kill their class mates", and then go after the pill popping masses that saturate the mid west, and the lower east coast into the southern regions of opium heads.
Yep... match it up with the Gun Data Base, so it can track the gun hoarding anti-government types. And lets not forget the child molester and those involved in incest and child porn.... and then go for those who rip off government contracts and bleed them dry, and try to push fraudulent change orders that push projects over budget.

Since these are the supporters of wanting to invoke surveillance of people....

Trump already tried to get the Voter Information, so the Russian can improve their accuracy in targeting out elections.

One day these Right Winger will learn... EVERYTHING they try to do to others, will always come back double upon themselves.

[quote=Toyman at Jewel Lake;50822006]What is ridiculous about it? They have no right to US citizenship-it is a privilege being offered. Only reasonable to expect their loyalty to this country, rather than a foreign nation. If they don't want to renounce their foreign citizenship-they can simply go home.[/quote]



The supreme court disagrees with you.

Sounds like a remake of a Slave Trade Game... and the game type Confederate Slave Holders used after the passage of laws to Free slaves, when the slaver owners, came with a "extortion plan" wanting to be compensated for freeing the slaves. It's about equal to the regions of slavers wanting to keep slaves and claim it was for the benefit of the 'economic zones", and then they added in the want to keep the children of those slaves, until they were 18.
While others slavers went out under Andrew Johnson and tried to round of former slaves children and force them into labor by calling them Apprentices. And offering to sell their freedom back to their parents.

The Evil of such type of men... still persist wit their vile.
That generation of types are leaving the earth in higher numbers as the years roll around. ...

The vile and savagery of the whole of it... is as sickening today, as it was back in time.

We must abolish this evil once and for all.

President Trump will have broken the biggest promise of his campaign and it wil be an enormous betrayal, he will lose a great deal of his base and be surrounded by gutless republicans who hate him and dems who want to impeach him



The fact that liberals like this plan shows it no good for our nation, at least the conservative part that doesnt want to live in a third world .

This is the beginning of the death of the republican party, republicans have tried for 35 years to get hispanic and blacks to vote republican and its a losing cause, a pathetic losing cause. Black voters are always in the 88-92% for Democrats at times and Hispanics are always around 66-68% for Democrats. Alot of those republicans are cubans in florida

Pathetic support for republicans.

Its comical, the republicans are basically committing suicide legalizing democrat voters. Demographics is destiny
That's what I have been saying all along. Trump would be insane to legalize these DACAs. Even if they didn't get citizenship their U.S. born kids would and they would vote Democrat. It would be political suicide for the Republicans.

Great !!!! (Republican Party) never should have risen up after the debacle in 2007-2008 and the ongoing wars that destabilized the entire Middle East.

I'm still in agreement with others to start a go fund me account to pay for the wall instead of leaving our kids to pay for it.

You'd rather pay over $100 billion a year caring for illegal aliens than a $25 billion wall? Did you fail at math? Trump has a plan about Mexico and it's been cited in here over and over.

Our entire economic system at the moment basically depends on it. Secondly, it's been proven that immigrants (and especially high skilled ones) create more jobs, open more business and 'contribute' more to the economy than native born Americans do on average. Letting in more doctors, engineerings, tech people, entrepreneurs, etc. who start companies, create jobs, pay more in taxes, etc. is a very good thing economically. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't understand economics.

This discussion is about illegal immigration not legal immigration. However, I have no problem with importing legal immigrants based on the merit system but not just importing immigrants just for the sake of having more warm bodies here to prop up the Ponzi scheme. Better to get past the baby boomer generation that is retiring than to start another one all over again. A smaller population to fit a smaller economy which doesn't stretch our natural and social resources over the limit would make for a much healthier country in so many ways for the future.

It all depends on what the compromise is. Will it harm our country in the long run? If so, it's not being an immature brat to oppose it. It's using common sense.

How many times do I have to post the links proving that the good walls do work before you stop repeating this nonsense? How many times do we have to tell you about Trump's plan to have Mexico pay for wall before you stop repeating this nonsense? How many times do we have to say that it's necessary no matter who pays for it and is cheap compared to what illegal aliens cost us before you and yours stop repeating this nonsense?
