I did not "bring up a press issue." After mentioning Elian Gonzalez as an illustration of how difficult it might be to deport 12 million people, I posted a link to a photo which, yes, did appear in the press. That doesn't make it a press issue.

If you don't have a plan for how these 12 million people can be identified, found, and deported (your words), that's fine and I will stop badgering you about it. It's just more nourishing to hear a concrete plan, even a vague one, than an emotional urge.
