Skeet,

It isn't a black and white issue because it isn't as easy as waving a magic wand and sending them all back from whence they came. The problem is finding all of them to send them back.

I was over in Church Creek a couple of weeks ago for a time trial that my cycling team was putting on. I had to road guard a couple of corners along with a couple of officers. One of the officers told me that he had a hispanic man admit to him that he was illegal, so he called INS to see what they wanted to do about it. INS told him that they would not bother with it unless he had 10 or more illegals to process. Honestly, I don't understand that.

I have also seen illegals go through our legal system, and they do not even get deported. I do not understand why it is so hard for INS and law enforcement to get on the same page about this. If somebody gets arrested, you determine if they are legal or not, and if not, they get sent to INS after their Court hearing and/or they serve their time in jail. For some reason, this is extremely hard to accomplish and I am betting because there is a bunch of red tape and hoops that need to be jumped through.

In an ideal world, yes, all the illegals should be deported, the budget should be balanced, the nations deficit should be paid back, and trade deficit should be a surplus, Toyota would not be the #1 car manufacturer in the world, we would have cars running on alternative fuel. The problem is figuring out how to accomplish all of this. Yes, the ideals are black and white, but the process of getting there is the problem and the really gray area.
