    Same way we'd kick out 100 to 200 people, only repeat it 100,000 times. Plenty of legal immigrants would line up to replace them for jobs where immigrant labor is deemed necessary. And I seriously doubt that a bunch of poor immigrants making minimum wage or less are going to pay more in taxes than they and their children will consume in government services.

      You honestly think you could eject 10-20 MILLION people from your country without some pretty enormous social repercussions?!

      Unfortunately you're dead wrong on that one.

        Letting 10-20 million people illegally colonize the United States would also have pretty significant social repercussions. Deport the lawbreakers.

          Obama should convert to Roman Catholic and start attending Santorum's parish.

            What do you mean 'would'? They've been there for decades and run a large part of your manual labour economy.

                We've had a manual labor economy for longer than that. They are not indispensable. And yes, the US is already being colonized. I'm well aware.

                  Sure, good luck finding 20 million American citizens who are going to fill those jobs picking fruit, cleaning toilets and mowing lawns.

                    First of all, 20 million illegal aliens doesn't mean 20 million labor force participants. Second, there are plenty of people abroad who would happily come here legally to pick fruit. Third, suburban Americans can mow their own ****ing lawns. Maybe they'd shed a few pounds. Fourth, there are plenty of unemployed Americans who should suck it up and clean toilets.

                      So basically you want to kick out 20 million people, so you can allow a different x million people back in, and you also want American society to change radically? So not asking much then..

                        Yes, kick out lawbreakers and let law abiding people take their place. And make obese Americans get some exercise. Sounds good to me. I'm not saying we should do these things because they are easy but because they are hard.

                          Let's set a goal of getting it done by the end of the decade. If we can put a man on the moon we can put Mexicans back in Mexico (I'm not singling out Mexicans here, all illegal aliens should leave).

                              Getting obese Americans to exercise is not a realistic goal.
