    Rick Perry: Unrealistic to send 11 million illegal immigrants home

    By David Sherfinski - The Washington Times - Thursday, February 19, 2015

    Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry said that while a conversation about immigration reform has to start with border security, it's unrealistic to think that the approximately 11 million people in the country illegally can just be sent home.

    "I don't think American people trust Washington to deal with this issue of immigration reform until the border's secure — that's the reason that we did what we did in Texas," Mr. Perry said Wednesday evening on Fox News' "The Kelly File." "It's the reason I invited the president to come down and see that his policies, whether it was DACA or other policies that they put into place during the six years of this administration are really what's driving a lot of the illegal immigration that's occurring."

    But, he was asked, what do you do with the approximately 11 million illegal immigrants in the country before you get the border secured?

    "I don't think anyone with a sense of reality thinks that we're going to ship 11 or 12 million people back to where they're from," he said.

    "But again, I go back to the conversation that has to occur … it's got to be action," he added. "We had a 74 percent reduction of apprehensions after we surged our national guard along with our law enforcement down to that southern 150-plus-mile region of the border."

    Mr. Perry, a possible presidential contender in 2016, also said Mr. Obama wasn't the only one to blame.

    "And so I think it's fine to have a conversation, but the American people are not [going to] trust Washington — they're not [going to] trust anyone until they see that the border is truly secure. We know how to do that — we'll be happy to show not only this president, but this Congress," he said.

    "Listen — this Congress could have dealt with this years ago, but they haven't," he continued. "So this isn't just Barack Obama's problem — this is also Washington, D.C. and a Congress that [in] my opinion has been do-nothing about securing the border."

    Mr. Perry also called a federal judge's ruling against Mr. Obama's executive actions on immigration this week was a "victory for the rule of law."

    "You can't have presidents just willy-nilly going around and using their executive fiat whenever they feel it's in their best interest or what they want to see," he said.

    It is not only realistic, it's required under the law. I get such a kick out of these officials and potential candidates who want to stomp around babbling about the rule of law and a secure border, when they have no intention of either one, and the first clue to that is when they claim it's not realistic to enforce the law and deport illegal aliens, which is the rule of law for illegal aliens in our country in violation of US immigration, US labor and US civil rights law.

    Rick Perry supports amnesty and taxpayer benefits like in-state tuition for illegals and that is why he went from 1st place to last place in the GOP primary for President back in 2012!

    It is very unrealistic to elect anyone to any office who subscribes to Rick Perry's thinking about being unrealistic to send aliens home. Yikes, no wonder at all that we have the problem of millions and millions of aliens with this political thinking.

    They all want to talk tough at election time about the "rule of law", yet when the law dictates illegal aliens be deported, a simple sending them home where they belong, oh no, they don't have the guts to do that and actually enforce the rule of law, oh no, they'll send some mentally retarded kid to the gas chamber without blinking an eye, but they won't send an illegal alien home. All these phonies are on the take with the cartels, that's the only explanation for what is going on here.

    If they played their cards right, they could get a bunch of illegals to self deport on their own dime instead of ours. That would cut down on the cost. Besides, what is it costing our nation in lost wages for citizens, lost tax revenue, food stamps for anchor babies and other benefits? Getting these people out will save taxpayers millions! Correcting this birthright citizenship thing is vital to stopping the influx as well!

    And enacting Universal E-Verify would alert wannabe illegals that the job magnet has been shut off. Getting jobs or better pay for the jobs that they already do is the chief reason why illegals continue to sneak into the United States. Universal E-Verify would put a stop to that.
