Imprison them? Just put 'em on a plane and send em home and bill their governments for the cost of enforcing our laws.

This is the first time I have heard of immigrants being held in jail.
I thought these jails were for Criminals who overstay their visas and those who just invade.

Send 'em out to Sheriff Joe Arpio in Maricopa County, AZ along with enough dough to let Joe buy enough tents and pink underwear for them. Bet he could house a million or more for around a buck a piece per year which is about 11 months longer than it SHOULD take for them -- despite Tom Wolfe's line -- to WANT to go home again.

Given that projected turn-over rate, might take a year to get them all safely back home.

Sheriff Joe -- call your office.

My son told me about waiting forever behind one of our amigas and her large brood at the grocery check-out while the clerk struggled with entering her FOOD STAMP purchases into the system while she glared at him -- and he glared back. It was all he could do to contain himself as he thought about how hard HE worked to earn not only the funds to buy groceriers for himself, his wife and 2 year-old son BUT THE FUNDS THE IRS AND STATE CONFISCATED FROM HIM TO BUY HERS AS WELL!

When he got to the clerk, he asked if he could add HIS purchase to hers. The clerk rolled his eyes.

One way or another, THIS CRAP IS GONNA STOP!!!!

RE-ELECT NOBODY!!!!!!

Hey idiot...build a wall to keep the invaders out.

"......the greatest nation on earth must come up with a remedy that accords immigrants some respect, rather than throwing them in jail like animals."

The reason we are the greatest nation on earth is b/c we are a nation of laws.

Now those immigrants who come here legally, and demonstrate they respect our laws, will be treated accordingly.

The reality of ones who cross our borders illegally show that firstly, they pay no state and federal taxes---ever. And using forged documents, several phony ID's and multiple SS #'s, they get welfare, food stamps, housing subsidies, reduced mortgages, free medical care, free education, reduced in-state tuition and out of state tuition for themselves and their mutiple kids.

Using multiple phony SS #'s, forged documents, and multiple IDs they collect several $4500-$5400 EICs from the IRS by declaring several names/jobs - just by going $1 over the income limit. And they collect for EINs, ITINs, Child Tax Credit, Additional Child Tax Credit (and didn't even pay taxes).

Using several phony identities, they can simultaneously pocket unemployment benefits, social security disability benefits for themselves and members of their large extended families, state and federal scholarships, free tuition, affirmative action preferences in education and employment, and got free coverage under state and/or federal health care plans.

All this including sending $38 billion per year out of the US economy back to Mexico---the second largest revenue producer for that country.

The contempt these predators have for Americans is just unbelievable--thinking we will sit still for the takeover of our government by predators who will use violence if necessary, to turn our gov't into a Third World banana republic.

Many detention facilities — notably those in the Southwest — are geographically remote, with few pro bono attorneys nearby, and detainees often are transferred far from their home base. Other hurdles include inadequate law libraries in some facilities and steep telephone charges, lawyers said.

Home base? You mean Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico?
