      @ChasFlemming so deportation (and self-deportation) of 11-15 million people?

      No, you don't deport everybody. You set priorities like Obama claims but fails to do. You enforce employment laws. @mattklewis

      @ChasFlemming simple enough. So why won't conservative politicians who agree with this plan cop to it when asked?

          One of the problems now is mixed motives on the GOP side in favor anything that will get the hispanic voter to stop being mad. @mattklewis

          This mixed motive is why I believe you can't get straight answers from GOP politicians. The well has been poisoned. @mattklewis

          3) Then, decide what to do with the relatively small number of remaining cases. @mattklewis

          @ChasFlemming @mattklewis "relatively small" - I'd suggest that your suggestions (which I agree w/ 100%) would only affect small pct

          @ChasFlemming @mattklewis Ok, net attrition during "Great Recession" was flat. Your ideas are good but my guess is 8-10M left to address

          2) Do things that make the problem smaller (like employment enforcement, deporting criminals). @mattklewis
