conditions create encourage million people
You have to create conditions that encourage people to deport themselves. We didn't get to 12 million people overnight. We're not going to get back down overnight.
action against break created family government law situation unfair
The idea that if you break the law and put yourself and your family in that situation, that it's unfair for the government to take action against you, doesn't make any sense. It's unfortunate when these thing happen, but you have to look at who created the situation in the first place.
nine people thank
The whole thing is a sham. At the end of nine years all these people are going to thank us and go home?
breaking decide message people policy price remaining states united worth
People should feel uncomfortable about breaking the law. If we have a policy that is demonstrated to be consistent, many people will get the message and decide that remaining here in the United States illegally isn't worth the price that they have to pay.

Most Americans feel it doesn't make any sense for people to come into the country illegally, give birth and have a new U.S. citizen. But the advocates for illegal immigrants will make a fuss; they'll claim you're punishing the children, and I suspect the leadership doesn't want to deal with that.

Obviously, these are well-orchestrated, well-organized rallies that are taking place, and they represent the views of the people who are out there, primarily people who have broken the law and want to be rewarded for it.
flood labor market reason supply unskilled workers
There is no reason to flood the labor market with more unskilled workers when we have a more than ample supply in this country.
affects change changing impact labor limits markets reason social
The reason we set limits in the first place is because it has an impact on everyone else. Changing it will change the illegality, but it doesn't change the impact. Immigration affects labor markets and social institutions.
We think this could be a major, precedent-setting case.
admit people
Why admit people with TPS if you know they're never going to leave.
country direction happening heading help identify people
It's all about people who don't identify (with) the country they're in. You can't help think that we're heading in the direction of what's happening over there.
