Is deportation, of illegal aliens really practical?

He needs to leave. I have no pity for this criminal. And as any illegal, he is a criminal.

Just because a criminal hires people and gives them a job is no reason to excuse the crimes he has committed. Deportation for this one.

Whether real or imaginary, your anecdotal friend's situation illustrates the glaring weakness of our broken immigration laws: inconsistent enforcement. Illegal immigrants like the person described in your case scenario are allowed to remain here unlawfully for years, working, marrying, having children, and building their lives intertwined with others who depend on them. A mere 4% of illegal immigrants are deported each year.

Given the slim chance of being caught and sent home, it is little wonder our population of undocumented immigrants swelled after the first amnesty in the 80s. We cannot fault people seeking a better life, yet at the same time, we need our government to enforce its immigration laws because our land and our economy cannot support all the people who would come here seeking a better life if we gave out immigrant visas on demand to any applicant with a clean criminal record. That is why my views on immigration are in line with a majority of Americans: provide a path to legal residency for those settled here but discourage future illegal immigration through rigorous enforcement of immigration and employment laws, including a new SS card with biometric data.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
