This is a reflection not only on her unpreparedness, but the generally inadequate "solution" conservatives have for illegal immigration. NO AMNESTY makes for a nice bumper sticker, but it's not that simple on a policy level. I'd love to hear a plan on how to logically deport 12 million people, as well as the estimated cost of the operation. It's logistically impossible, and even if it was possible it would be a pretty ugly sight for all to see.
Crack down on businesses that hire illegal immigrants. Fix the broken process of becoming an American citizen, making it faster and more efficient; when liberals talk of illegal immigrants simply "getting in the back of the line" that's another case of a ridiculous solution, considering the line is broken. If increasing border control is required to get conservatives along, fine (although if you send 5k they'll want 6k, and when you send 6k they'll want 10k).
These solutions are far more logical, efficient, and far less costly than building a giant fence, deporting millions of people, and militarizing the border. I thought conservatives were supposed to be good at not wasting tax payer money "we don't have."
