Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, hour three.

Hello, America. Welcome. It's Eric Erickson here, the last hour of the week for the program.

I hope you have a great weekend. The phone number,

it is an open line Friday. I'm about to get the phone calls. 877-97-9-7-3-7-4-25 if you want to be on the program.

Very happy to have your phone call today. I got stuff I want to talk

about, but I've been promising I would take phone calls, so I feel compelled that I should

take phone calls. So I want to start with Jeff, who's been waiting patiently. Jeff, welcome.

Hi, Eric. I love your show, but I have a bit of a question for you.

All right.

Do you hear me okay?

I can.

Yeah, yeah.

So let's say for sake of argument that somebody finally closes the border, borders, I should say, and stops our immigration influx.

How do we get rid of all of the six million of so illegal aliens that are here now,

expeditiously, and not have it take 20 years? Number one is a question. Number two, I've heard no

Republican candidates address that issue. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

Oh, that's a great question.

Two-partners.

So let's say both borders get closed down.

What do we do with the illegals who are here?

So there are a couple of ideas, one of which is the people who have been here for 30 years

who have kids and their kids are American citizens because their kids were born here, you deny them citizenship, but give them a green card, let them stay. That's one proposal. Another is you just round them all up, send them home. It would take time. You'd have to go through border enforcement. You would have to go through hearings, all that. I suspect, though, this is my personal theory, Jeff. If we actually built walls, we kept the Canadians out and we kept the Central and South Americans out.
