Sen. Obama says that deporting 12 million people is not realistic and will require an “honest conversation.” This was his reply to questions regarding illegal immigrants entering the United States.

Further on, the Senator detailed the possible scenario if all illegal immigrants were “sent home”:

Mr. Obama said many illegals have “settled,” “bought property” and have children who are U.S. citizens. He said the country would have to devote “all our law enforcement resources to rounding up people without papers, even if they weren’t causing any trouble,” and once that’s done, the country would have to “empty out our jails.”

He is however suggesting that the illegal immigrants register, pay a fine, pay back taxes, and learn English.
