    He completely avoids answering HOW you send them home, he never mentions any plan just uses generalizations like “we’ll let them get their affairs in order then they can go home”… so they set the timetable, who’s to say they just won’t leave? are our police going to round them all up and put them on trains to get shipped back across the border or what? there is no how to it, its just supposed to magically happen….riiiiight :roll:

    exactly “remember our fathers”…

    McCain is labeled as providing “amnesty” but it seems to me that he is just being honest with the situation… first step, seal the borders… it sucks but the people that are here are here… congress won’t even get their shit together to fund the troops… what makes you think that they’re gonna be leaping out of their seats to appropriate the funds to pull off this epic mass deportation???? imagine the political spectacle!!! lefties laying their bodies in front of busses… riots everywhere… little children crying… LET’S BE HONEST… AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN… I wish it could but it isn’t feasible

    Agree with jgee…

    Romney completely blows by the quote that says he estimated it would take 90 days. How do you round up a couple million people Mitt? How do you get the resources and funding to do that? Won’t there be violence? Look at what Israel had to deal with when they had to relocate their settlers in Gaza and that was a great deal less people.

    I would love to see all illegal immigrant deported, as well as free healthcare and jobs for everyone. But this is the real world and things are complicated. The illegals in our country now just have to be dealt with. This can be done by imposing harsher penalties on all companies that hire illegals and if they want to have a job they need to apply, get registered, and start paying taxes and following our laws just like any other american. And of course, increase funding towards boarder defense…for our southern and northern boarders.

    No jobs, no welfare, no economic stimulus rebate (which will be sent to Mexico), no anchor babies, etc. - It’s the Theory of Self Deport.

    …cut off the free medical help as well. What reason would these ants have as soon as the free food from the picnic basket is taken away? These people would have no other reason to stay and would march their ten kids, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and whoever else back to where they came from. Maybe then they can take care of their own economic problems. I doubt that will happen. They will just try and find some other picnic basket to raid.

    Amen Tom and “krock”

    It’s called “Demagnetization”.

    Mitt is right on. And I applaud him for standing up for the overwhelming majority of American citizens, unlike McCain.

    To those who follow the drum and admit defeat on the immigration issue, this is how you go about expelling a large group of illegal aliens. You don’t just start loading people into busses and sending them home. That is the picture that has been painted for you by the other side. Deportation is mostly a voluntary act… at first. You let them know that they’re going to be sent home, and they have 90 days to leave. Those who don’t leave by their own volition, are made to leave by force. The reason illegal immigration is such a problem is that people who break the law by sneaking into this country are very rarely forced to leave (this includes criminals). In any town, you’ll have huge swaths of day laborers (essentially illegal aliens) who are never confronted and never forced to return home. Once people face the fear of being deported, and they get the sense that they are not wanted, they’ll leave.

    The bottom line is that we cannot have someone such as McCain, who carries close ties with open-borders activists such as Juan Hernandez as our next president. This does not bode well for the US and anyone who opposed the McCain/Kennedy bill.

  9. David Ross

    Tom in Texas is absolutely correct. The “theory of self deportation” is not just a theory but fact. When they clamp down on workplace enforcement and the “free” handouts dry up they will return home. With the little restrictions that have already begun they have already started to reverse the trend if even only a miniscule amount. The point is it has begun.

  10. Gary in Midwest

    This is not a simple problem so the solution will not be an easy one. In business you first identify a need, create a goal then propose a solution. Once you choose a solution the rest is logistics and you try to meet that goal. If you set the goal lower because it would be easier to attain odds are the end result will also be lower. Do you want to make amnesty optional or does 90 days sound like a higher goal?

  11. Jett

    Let’s see…
    Juan Hernandez (open borders zealot) is on McCain’s staff as Hispanic Outreach Campaign Advisor. Juan Hernandez is also a Senior Fellow at McCain’s Reform Institute.

    McCain’s Nat’l. Finance Co-Chair is Jerry Perenchio, billionaire founder of Spanish-language media conglomerate, Univision.

    Securing our borders, if elected, means McCain must turn his back on Perenchio & Hernandez and all the time & money each poured into his campaign.

    In politics remember, its quid pro quo (whether you’d like to admit it, or not).

    Do don’t really believe McCain is for no amnesty, securing our borders, etc????? :roll:
