And how many decades centuries, perhaps to adjudicate all the deportation cases. Not only is it not worth it, its impossible.Going door to door and rooting them out cost a fortune and it's just not worth it.
Do you always answer a question with a question?
That or an insult.
It can't be done in a civilized, orderly and lawful manner. Even our debate foe here acknowledges that we could never do anything like operation WB again. Heck they couldn't keep doing it then because the public wouldn't stand for it. They cleared wholesale neighborhoods and deported a few thousand American citizens along with everyone else. It was, just like I tried to describe earlier, akin to what the Germans did in WWII. It takes a massive suspension of human rights and the constitution to do anything near what they did and STILL they only managed to actually apprehend 80,000 or so people. The rest were compelled to self deport, the only thing then and the only thing now that can even begin to address this issue. Operation WB maybe caused a million illegals to disappear. In the last three years we have deported a million and a million walked home. We have beaten that program all to pieces and still that is the example you want to give? If those numbers make you happy, you should be throwing a party about now for our efforts in the last couple years.
I have explained this as articulately as possible and the only retorts are gross over simplifications of the issue. You simply can not round up millions of people by force, effectively, economically or humanely. Operation WB proves this to be true.
Same goes for the "secure the border" pleas. You can't effectively do it. If we could, we WOULD HAVE. This isn't the first time we've had this problem down there. We've had it every few decades for a long time. If we COULD secure the border, we would have. It can't be done in a practical sense. The Korean DMZ is only 160 miles long.... the Berlin Wall was only 90 miles long. The COST to TRY and totally secure these two EXTREMELY short borders is astronomical. We have 2,000 miles of border and compounding the issue is the extreme remoteness of the terrain. Just trying to get WATER .... WATER PEOPLE.... trying to just get some water out there is a choir. And we expect to do what? Station people and machines and feed them and fuel them and cloth them and shower them and truck them in and out? It's absurd. You're talking about a military deployment on scale with Iraq. And for what? Because we don't want to or are afraid to mess with a handful of manufacturing plant and meat packing plant owners who stand behind our Patrols and invite these people to come. We're going to spend all this money BEFORE we even make a half witted effort to police OUR OWN who are causing this problem?
It's a ridiculous game. Someone is playing politics with some folks heads but it sure isn't me.
