If it should come to that I'm still wondering how our police are going to end up killing a bunch of people. You know we've had refugee camps before.
Do the victims of illegal's crimes matter at all? Do those stories every make the national news and get personal? Maybe we should compare the crime rate of deportation to illegal immigration? Does it even occur to you that people are paying with their lives and suffering the rape of family members because of this situation?
Absolutely. That is what is so deplorable about the situation as it exists--and I'm speaking about the victims in both the American citizen population & the non-citizen/ illegal immigrant population. The current situation makes it virtually impossible to find the lawbreakers and, furthermore, many crimes, particularly those against the illegal immigrants, go unreported.
Do those stories every make the national news and get personal?
Yes. Malvo, to name a really famous one. Yes. Workers piled & locked into trucks dead of heat exhaustion/ suffocation.

How many do you think they have to ''kill'' for it to cause a sensation? Answer: The police don't have to ''kill'' anyone. A couple of toddlers dead from scorpion bites, an old man dead of heatstroke, a 15 year old girl horribly disfigured when a candle flame burns the tent in which she was sleeping, a young parent who commits suicide because his/ her dream for a better life has been shattered--how does that play on the nightly news, in the eyes of the world? For that matter, how does it play in the hearts of Americans? There is no way you can confine this debate to strictly the political/ legal arena and that is why the United States can not/ will not deport millions of people who, for the most part, came to this country because they were fleeing from lives of poverty & desparation.
