>>>I was talking about logistics. I asked how you would go about deporting 12 million people and you said you would drive them to the border and let them out. It was some of the details behind that plan I was asking for.

>>You take the millions and millions of dollars currently being sucked out of the health, education, and legal systems by *ILLEGAL* aliens and use that for the round-up and transportation costs. Let Mexico figure out what to do with them when you drop them at the border.

>>Tell the bleeding hearts that they can contribute $$/time/ whatever to make the deportation of *ILLEGAL* aliens more comfortable.

>Maybe I am a bit of a bleeding heart liberal because some of the talk about "securing our borders" is sounding a lot like a desire for ethnic cleansing. Not all of it but definitely some of it.

Mike,
It always annoys me how people who want something to be done about illegal immigrants are implied to be racist.
