An anti-immigration group is calling on the Obama administration to ensure a smooth exit for illegal immigrants who are trying to leave the U.S. due to the weak economy and Arizona's strict new immigration law.Seems reasonable to me, but I don't know how these people will be able to vote for Democrats if they leave the country so Obama isn't likely to help.
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is urging U.S. citizens to pressure the White House and the Homeland Security Department to establish "safe departure" border checkpoints along the U.S. border for illegal immigrants so they can leave without fear of being detained or prosecuted for immigration crimes.
"The peaceful and gradual exodus of illegals from Arizona shows there is no need for comprehensive immigration reform amnesty," William Gheen, president of the group, said in a written statement. "Comprehensive immigration enforcement works and has the desired effect without mass deportations."
Gheen said the safe passage would ensure that illegals "leave in an orderly fashion, instead of trying risky desert crossings, paying money to the cartels for passage south, or fleeing to other states."
"This is about the only situation we would ever advocate that our immigration laws be waived," Gheen said. "We want to encourage the illegals to leave America on their own and thus we ask Obama to provide them safe passage out of America."

The hell with safe passage out of the country for those here illegally. If you are here in the U.S. as an ILLEGAL person you ought to be arrested, finger-printed and have a criminal record so that the next time they are apprehended they can throw the book at them. If they want safe passage back to another country let them first go to San Francisco which is a refuge for illegals, then let them swim in the Pacific Ocean to get back to where they originally came from.
