An easy fix for this is the Joe Arpaio solution.
Set up tent prisons in the desert near the border. They are much cheaper than “brick prisons”, and by international law, “military field conditions” are *not* “cruel and unusual”.
Each prison would have its own federal immigration judge, to hear the merits of each case before ordering deportation. It would also have a processing trailer to insure that detailed biometric data was collected from every illegal alien prior to deportation.
Then, any illegal alien prisoner who had committed a serious misdemeanor or felony crime in the US would be permanently barred from reentry. Returning after such a bar is a serious multi-year felony offense.
I would also include a process used by the State of Arizona. Since just south of the border is an ultra-violent killing field, Arizona has taken to flying illegal immigrants direct to Mexico City. The illegals are far happier about this, and it serves the dual purpose of being about 1200 miles to the US border, so it is much harder for them to return to the US.
The benefits of doing all of this is first, clearing our brick jails and prisons of illegal aliens who have about concluded their sentences, thus saving States millions of dollars. Secondly, isolated tent prisons in the desert near the border need minimal security, because there is nowhere to go to on foot.
Third, since they are going to be deported anyway, and this is important, many of them will vie for *voluntary* repatriation, so can be put right on the plane. This will expedite the process considerably.
I say screw deporting criminal aliens. Make the punishment for felonies committed while illegally in the US, life in prison at hard labor, with no possibility of parole.
See how fast the illegals self-deport back to Mexico.
Until we make the punishment much, MUCH worse than the crime, this behavior will just continue. If our state and federal governments don’t do something effective to put a stop to this invasion, human nature will. And it ain’t gonna be pretty.
