It is estimated that there are anywhere from 12 to 18 million illegal aliens in this country. I personally believe that that estimate is at least 10 percent low and that the real quantity is nearer 20 million who have illegally entered this country and are, despite anyone’s opinion, criminals regardless of their lifestyle. Everyone of us makes decisions everyday that are intended to prevent our being arrested, incarcerated, and embarassed. The illegal immigrant in the US made a decision that breaking the law was valid and appropriate to do. They are guilty of criminal actions and there are always hundreds of opinions on how to deal with lawbreakers.
It has been proposed that we should, by various means, arrest and deport the millions of illegals, tighten our borders, and only allow those who enter legally to remain. It is the ideal solution and should be implemented, except for one small, inconvenient reality which I will explain.
Let’s look, very briefly and with squinted vision, at the Third Reich’s evil in WWII of identifying, locating, and transporting near 6 million people from point A to point B, for reasons of their own. We can the see that the US would need to do far more to identify, locate, incarcerate, and then relocate not 6 million, but possibly up to 20 million people in the USA illegally, in an effort similar to what the Nazis employed, but not as lethal. I don’t believe the US would be a part of that, not for very long, anyway.
So, what I am pointing out here is, this is near impossible and far more complex than we could ever have seen. We can not deport 6, or 12, or 20 million illegal immigrants back to Mexico, it is just too expensive, time and resource consuming, and such a huge undertaking that it would not be possible or even worthwhile. So, that demands some process that would require millions to remain in this country and become non-criminal, legal immigrants or citizens. And that doesn't mean amnesty. It means dealing with the real situation in a realistic manner. Anyone have any good ideas for that?
