Sent packing the sooner the better.
I keep hearing how we can’t deport 12 -20 million people. Well, I can say that for a lot of things; like murder. We can’t possibly catch all the people who commit murder so why do you even try; we can’t possibly catch all the drug dealers, child molesters, rapists, etc. Does that mean we should stop trying? No, of course not, to say we shouldn’t deport anyone because we can’t deport them all is a false argument; we need to deport them as fast as we catch them. And no I don’t care if their underage child is a US citizen; he or she can stay or go with them, their choice. I’m not the person who put their child in that situation, they did. We need to hold people who break the law responsible for their actions. If their child is caught up in the mess whose fault is that? Their’s, the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the law breakers.
Now they, the illegal aliens, have a tough choice, to take their children, who are US citizens, back with them or leave them here. It’s a choice I wouldn’t want to have to make, but then again I don’t have too, because I didn’t break the law.

In the short term illegal immigrants pay into the Social Security system which is almost bankrupt.

They also provide recruits for the military.

The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act, is part of the stalled package of proposals that many in Congress are seeking to resurrect. The proposal, applicable to an estimated 750,000 undocumented residents of military age, stipulates that those who arrived in the United States before age 16, graduated from high school, and meet other qualifications could immediately enter the path to citizenship in exchange for at least two years' service in the armed forces.

But not all of them pay taxes.

In the long term Amnesty Will Cost U.S. Taxpayers at Least $2.6 Trillion.

Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Hunter have the most conservative voting records on immigration.

Of these three, Ron Paul has the best chance of winning the Primary election.
Paul's campaign has almost 5 times as much money to spend as Tancredo.

Ron Paul has stated that he wants very strong borders and he was appalled that our government had taken border guards off of our borders to send them to Iraq.

This is his six point plan:
Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.
Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.
No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.
No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.
End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.
Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.

We have 3 choices.
Deport them, give them a path to legal status or keep them the way they are.
We're not going to deport 12-20 million people, even if we knew where all of them were. It's just not practical. Keeping them the way they are won't work for national security and economic reasons. Providing legal status for illegal aliens who have not committed a felony is the only approach that makes sense.

Illegal aliens should be sent packing.
It doesn't matter how long they've been in the country illegally. You don't reward people for breaking the law longer.

The ones that are causing trouble should be sent packing. (Criminals, child molesters, drug dealers, welfare recipients, etc.) The ones that are working hard and contributing to society should be given amnesty.
