Then it would be all nice and legal.
Any 'coyote' caught trafficing in human beings would be subject to a 30 year stretch in a Federal Penitentiary for the first offense. A second offense would subject them to Capital Punishment. Any person caught conspiring with the 'coyote' to break the law would be subject to the same penalties. That would include anyone paying the 'coyote'.
We simply 'upgrade' from the 'administrative offense' to an actual criminal offense. Hell, Congress already approved the Death Penalty for 'kingpins' bringing some powder across the border, so why not do it for actual slave traders? That would slow things down.
Once Congress upgrades from these merely bothersome 'administrative offenses' (BTW, there's no such thing as an 'administrative offense' they're all criminal offenses they're just tried in different Courts) to actual Felony offenses, then we can quite legally string these modern day flesh traders up for all to see.
You've really come full circle CJ. I never, ever thought I would live to see the day that you would be defending slave traders. It's quite a thing to see. You have no problem with the monsters who extort money from poor helpless Mexicans so they can aid and abet them in breaking US law by coming across our borders illegally.
I guess it's OK with you that those poor, ignorant, helpless souls are packed into semi trailers, rail cars, pick-up trucks, or whatever they can find by scumbags who don't care if they live or die during the crossing. Aren't you the chick who advocated life in prison for people smoking joints? Does it not bother you at all that dozens of these people attempting to cross our borders illegally die every year? Don't you think they should follow the legally established procedures to enter America?
When exactly did you become an 'open borders' Libertarian? I haven't been around much, as I've been recovering from some surgery for a bit, but it seems that I've awakened in some alternate universe where you defend people who brazenly violate Federal law.
Well, I guess we just put our dear lady friend CJ down as favoring the continuation of the flesh trade.You would have been quite at home in the South circa 1855.
