Dealing with this problem definitely requires courage and intellectual precision. So why is it such a problem for Republicans?
The humane answer to this immense dereliction (http://www.vdare.com/posts/american-doesnt-have-a-broken-immigration-system-it-has-a-broken-deportation-system)by the American ruling class: attrition through enforcement. America’s immigrant populations have always been very volatile, as Paul Nachman (http://www.vdare.com/users/paul-nachman) has noted for us (http://www.vdare.com/posts/immigrant-attrition-during-the-great-wave)—the traditional pattern was for large proportions to go home anyway. One study says that for Italians (http://www.vdare.com/articles/the-fulford-file-by-james-fulford-101)at the turn of the last century, it was as high as 65%.
Which means that by reasonably re-balancing illegals' access to social benefits, including by policing fraud—and ideally by fixing the Anchor Baby problem, since illegals’ U.S. born children are entitled to all the benefits of citizenship—a lot of this problem will eventually go away. Especially if encouraged by the stance advocated by VDARE.com heroes Representatives Lou Barletta (http://www.vdare.com/articles/good-question-lou-barletta-why-dont-we-deport-every-single-illegal-alien-caught-by-any-law-)and Mo Brooks (http://www.vdare.com/posts/more-mo-brooks-self-deportation-working-in-alabama)–firm enforcement of immigration rules when breaches come to the attention of the authorities.
The equally humane, but firmer and certainly un-PC answer: selective strategic deportation.
It’s never been necessary to “deport them all”. (http://www.vdare.com/articles/the-fulford-file-by-james-fulford-32) Even in President Eisenhower’s admirable Operation Wetback deportation program, which quickly ended (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wetback#cite_note-autogenerated1-0) the earlier illegal immigration crisis, only 150,000 (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/jun/10/chain-email/chain-e-mail-says-three-presidents-deported-total-/) were actually deported. Most (up to 3.9 million) got the message and left. (http://www.vdare.com/posts/operation-wetback-gets-msm-attention-at-last)
VDARE.com advocates (http://www.vdare.com/articles/the-fulford-file-so-why-doesn-t-the-broken-windows-theory-apply-to-illegal-aliens) applying the celebrated “Broken Windows (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory)” theory to deportation. By the selective strategic deportation of aliens, for example from the flagrant hiring venues developing in every American city, and above all from the increasingly-brazen insulting political demonstrations and arrogant self-outings (http://www.vdare.com/articles/isabel-castillo-gets-u-of-san-francisco-honorary-doctorate-for-being-illegal), would very quickly send a new message—or in fact an old one, the one that President Eisenhower sent and subsequent Presidents allowed to be reversed: everybody go home—the party is over.
Illegal aliens are rational people. That is why they are here. Every move to make life here less inviting and riskier will increase an exodus.
