Are you suggesting the only reason conservatives aren't working towards any actual solutions is because liberals are saying mean things to them? Refusing to engage and allowing the problems to continue is likely why people on the left get frustrated. With Mexican immigration at a net zero, this is the time to address it.

Deporting 30 million people is not realistic. The cost, the logistics, the economic damage to American businesses, pushing it would effectively destroy the GOP. Only in lily-white gerrymandered districts is that sort of stance viable. Nationally, it would be death.

This is only slightly less bad than the POV of some southern State Senator, who wanted to deport all Iranian immigrants, as well as their American born, Iranian-American offspring.

When I read that news article months ago, my head exploded. Repeatedly.

Cause nothing says America, like deporting American citizens to a country they've never been to, jus cause their parents came from there. Yup!

Let's try this.
Heaven forbid this should ever happen, but if BDJ was ruler of America (for a day) and someone said to you:

Before we move on to any other pressing issue, you must take a stand on what we should do about immigration. Well, BDJ, what do we do?

And don't cop-out. Just answer with your personal POV--even if it's a tough decision and you feel the other sides of other arguments, be decisive, and take a fucking stand. What would you do?
