There is a big noise about not being able to deport so many illegal aliens.
Yet, several presidents in the past did just that. And the next conservative
president should follow their example.

The problem isn't that there's no jobs...the REAL problem is there are too
many Americans who won't work! After years of welfare checks, food stamps,
schools that turn out `graduates' who know almost as little as when they
first started...the hammering into certain ethnic groups the `victim'
mentality...the `we got something coming' notion (reparations for something
that happened over a hundred and fifty years ago)...what else can you expect?
