    The winning solution for him is to say he’ll assist with violent felons but not people without criminal backgrounds.

      The problem there is, they have no intention of limiting it like that.

      It will START that way, then it will become “Well, we can’t separate the family because of one criminal… better deport all of them…”

      “Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?” correspondent Cecilia Vega asked him.

      “Of course there is,” Homan answered, “families can be deported together.”

        Well that is the right answer but I suspect many of the violent felons don’t have family here.

        It is a right to illegally immigrate to the United States. It’s a privilege to come to this country.

        Now if we believe Vance, their goal is 1 million per year. That’s a drop in the bucket. It’s nothing more than a focus on worst people.
