This immigration stuff is nothing more then political BS to get votes, not what's good for America.
What ever happened to our quota system???
Seal the border with a wall, use high tech detection systems, drones, etc. whatever.
THEN, send back all those who have committed crimes here first, followed by those who came here illegally crime free, who can be funneled back through the quota system.
Quotas are set for a reason, to prevent chaos like this.

Exceptions could be made for those who have become citizens and have children who have followed illegally with a requirement for them to become citizens within one year, if over 18 yrs. and by age 18 if under that age.
All those with past criminal records are banned.
We are not a criminal refuse country.

That's pretty much Trump's plan. Except nobody but you and Donald seem to think it's feasible.

Let's hear your plan, Spence. No selective hearing here.

No, I think it's more along the lines of Charles Krauthammer, and good old common sense.

Ok, we'll add Chuck to the list and now we're up to three.

Thinking it's feasible to deport 11 million + people defies common sense, hence it didn't make the cut.

if we can import we can export...thinking we can't do something like that defies common sense....thinking we can adopt 11 million(probably a lot more in reality) people as citizens who came here illegally and the flood will just slow "defies common sense" and destroys any future hope of controlling our borders or maintaining a legal immigration system that has any merit or purpose....common sense makes the cut because it excludes all progressives who seem to operate on the notion that they can outsmart common sense and have good results...

Spence, that is your opinion. If the original immigrant policy was enforced we wouldn't be in this mess.
You forgot to answer the question- "Let's hear your plan, Spence."

You don't think it's feasible to deport the ones who have committed crimes here? Eisenhower, in 1954, deported all the illegals they could round-up, whether they had committed a crime or not. He deported over one million. It was called, amazingly, Operation Wetback. Not the most sensitive name to give the operation, but it showed that large-scale deportations aren't logistically impossible.

I didn't say impossible I said feasible.

In 1954 the Mexican government wanted their people back because they needed the labor, it's a totally different scenario. Also back then I don't think people were woven and dispersed like they are now.

Perhaps even a bigger factor. In California which was a focus of the Operation about 8% of the State was of Hispanic/Latino decent...today that number is around 30%.
