We don't need to deport them. If we pass laws like Arizona did, then they will deport themselves. Make it so that an illegal cannot rent an apartment, buy property, enroll in school, obtain non-life threatening medical care, receive any government assistance and really punish those who hire these people. Not only will they stop coming here, the ones who are here will go home all by themselves.

Necessity is the mother of innovation.

Removal of necessity by way of welfare removes the incentive to innovate.

Free markets and rule of law bring people here. Markets are being manipulated and laws abound, it'll be self correcting soon, much to everyone's dismay. Legal or illegal.

Who needs to deport 11M?  Just quit issuing drivers liceses , welfare, section 8, medicaid, etc...

There needs to be something to discourage future illegal immigration, and this move by Obama will encourage it.

Our immigration policies should be liberal, but have some teeth to enforcement.  If we want to offer 1 million visas or work permits per year, or whatever the number is voted on and agreed upon, great.  But enforce the law.  That what people can't stand.

We don't need to round them all up and deport them. Make the punishment for employing them so punitive, no one will give them work. No handouts, no education, no healthcare, no support. They will leave or starve. Charge the ones who stay and are caught doing anything illegal and throw the immigration law violations on top of that. Lock them up until you get a plane load. Take them to the airport wherever they came from and dump them off. The plane ride will be much cheaper than taking care of them here.

We just need the majority in Congress to stop being concerned about being called names, show some guts and courage, and decide they are going to do what's best for the nation. They have 2 years to fix this shit.

An Excellent point! If, however, a poor example.

Some may jump to the conclusion that you're crafting a moral comparison between the current situation and the atrocities of the Holocaust.  But I think most of us know that that would be a false equivalency.  Technologically, speaking it would be easier today.  Morally speaking, the two are worlds apart, but you know this, as do the majority of us on this site.  Despite the tendency of the more simple minded among us to jump to short sighted conclusions, usually attributing those pisspoor summaries to things like racism, I think the majority of us know what you meant when used that example.

Because it's neither fair nor practical (just like banning Ebola flights or enforcing quarantines) to which I retort:  neither is rounding up and confiscating millions of firearms.

Your rocket technology was brought to you by a German.  Yet what is overlooked is that while the great bulk of those involved in putting a man on the moon were indeed American citizens, there was also a significant foreign contribution, in particular from Britain. One engineer was so important that President Nixon would later admit that without his work, the Moon landing of July 21, 1969 would have been impossible.  Brits such as Keith Wright, Peter Armitage, Thomas Chambers, Norman Farmer and the more well known Francis Thomas Bacon who was so awesome even his surname is is Arcom's favourite pork savoury treat.

You fought alongside allies in both World Wars and showed up late to both.  The Brits stood fast in both conflicts.

William Jessop, a Brit,  invented the first wagons to run on flanged wheels and Steam Engines that ran on your RRs were invented by Richard Trevithick, a Brit. The first steel rail in the world was made in England in the mid-1850s. In 1820, John Birkenshaw, a Brit, introduced a method of rolling rails in greater lengths using wrought iron which was used from then onwards, making intercontinental rail travel a reality.

The first dams are recorded to have been built in Jordan around 3000BC. The 75-miles dam near Warwick, Australia was possibly the world's first concrete arch dam. Designed by Henry Charles Stanley in 1880 with an overflow spillway and a special water outlet, it was eventually heightened to 10 metres.  Henry Charles Stanley was also a Brit.

Sir George Cayley was the father of flight, attaining the first glider flight and going on to describe the principles of an air/fuel combustion powered flight back in 1810.  In 1808 he literally reinvented the wheel by devising the tension spoked system.   Sir George Cayley was a Brit.

The first electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry Davy, a British scientist.

Just stand a cop in every Western Union and check the papers of anyone trying to send money to South America. That'd get a huge chunk of the illegal population in like 3 days.

Hire an illegal and you didn't use everify, sorry you're going to prison. I think that would be a good start.

We don't need to deport them. If we pass laws like Arizona did, then they will deport themselves. Make it so that an illegal cannot rent an apartment, buy property, enroll in school, obtain non-life threatening medical care, receive any government assistance and really punish those who hire these people. Not only will they stop coming here, the ones who are here will go home all by themselves.

Yep, it wouldn't be difficult if we made helping known illegals a crime with some serious teeth.

I'm sure the black vote will turn against him when these 5 million newly legalized folks are competing with them for jobs.
















I almost kept a straight face when I said that.

AF, while it is probably  not obvious I was suggesting that we can accomplish great things when we set our minds to it. So why is it impossible for us to find those breaking the law and deal with them?

I think that we should be able to agree that the one that gets credit is usually standing on the shoulders of giants when he does so.

Your rocket technology was brought to you by a German.  Yet what is overlooked is that while the great bulk of those involved in putting a man on the moon were indeed American citizens, there was also a significant foreign contribution, in particular from Britain. One engineer was so important that President Nixon would later admit that without his work, the Moon landing of July 21, 1969 would have been impossible.  Brits such as Keith Wright, Peter Armitage, Thomas Chambers, Norman Farmer and the more well known Francis Thomas Bacon who was so awesome even his surname is is Arcom's favourite pork savoury treat. Not arguing the case, same could be said of the Russians, let's just agree that the US and Russia both got a head start from their captured German Nazi Rocketeers.  

You fought alongside allies in both World Wars and showed up late to both.  The Brits stood fast in both conflicts. I never denied this. But at least give us credit for tipping the scales in your favor in both instances and thereby making the difference. Besides once in, I think you would agree that our contributions were very significant.  

William Jessop, a Brit,  invented the first wagons to run on flanged wheels and Steam Engines that ran on your RRs were invented by Richard Trevithick, a Brit. The first steel rail in the world was made in England in the mid-1850s. In 1820, John Birkenshaw, a Brit, introduced a method of rolling rails in greater lengths using wrought iron which was used from then onwards, making intercontinental rail travel a reality. Not arguing the invention of the steam engine (Hell if you really want to get picky you could if you want to go back to a guy named Hero he most definitely not a Brit), but rather the feat of creating the actual Coast to Coast RR.It all came together under the auspices of US investors and the  labor of legal emigrants.  

The first dams are recorded to have been built in Jordan around 3000BC. The 75-miles dam near Warwick, Australia was possibly the world's first concrete arch dam. Designed by Henry Charles Stanley in 1880 with an overflow spillway and a special water outlet, it was eventually heightened to 10 metres.  Henry Charles Stanley was also a Brit. Not arguing that we invented the dam, rather that we were able to accomplish the goal of damming major rivers.

Sir George Cayley was the father of flight, attaining the first glider flight and going on to describe the principles of an air/fuel combustion powered flight back in 1810.  In 1808 he literally reinvented the wheel by devising the tension spoked system.   Sir George Cayley was a Brit. The Wright Brothers before they accomplished powered flight, were also pretty good glider manufacturers, Bell also claimed to have had experimented with powered flight, you forgot to mention Charles Renard and Arthur Krebs. Neither of which was Brit.  yes I do know about Whittle.

The first electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry Davy, a British scientist. An arc lamp is not an incandescent bulb.


You are now relying on a Kenyan Democrat to try and resolve your concerns over illegal immigration and wonder why you are buggered.

Just a bit of fun, mate.

America has this history of partnerships with great nations and yet the Democrats elected an incompetent nobody Democrat as President and winder why things turn to rat-shit.

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
