I have the solution.

Make them serve some time in a special jail and then deport them. Here is an article I ran across that sounds like what I have in mind.

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO - HE IS THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER.

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:

Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the "tent city jail":
He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails Took away their weights. Cut off all but "G" movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.

Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination.

He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again only let in the Disney channel and the weather channel.

will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.

He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.

When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."
He bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails.

a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.

More on the Arizona Sheriff:

With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record), the Associated Press reports: About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week before.

Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks.

"It feels like we are in a furnace," said James Zanzot, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 ½ years. "It's inhumane."

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they have to wear full battle gear, but they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your damned mouths!"

Way to go, Sheriff! Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders. Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.

Sheriff Arpaio should be put in charge of the Federal Prison System. He has probably inspired more criminals to go straight than the entire "rehabilitation industry." I know it isn't politically correct, but punishment DOES work. This guy is great!

Make em pull goatheads and sandburrs all the way back to Mexico. Water and food ok as long as they pull the damn sandburrs. Next time they come back same thing only barefoot.

Great guy from the sounds of it and great ideas on how to deal with someone who breaks the law.

One thing from post: "He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value - "

That is being hard on them - taking away coffee! No!

And what is our President doing? He seems to be pushing our open borders by suggesting his pick for A.G. be approved. After listening to the hearings, the guy clearly doesn't deserve the job. He sees no difference between illegal and legal when it comes to immigrants.

The issue of immigration is being hidden under the cover of the abuse issue with the terrorist captured. Both parties and the media are ignoring the illegal issue and it's about time the people spoke up - before the guy gets in and things get worse -

Wish we had more people like this Sheriff - An official working for America and the people -

And while we're waiting to round them all up for mandatory incarceration and deportation -- institute a minimum 30% Witholding-Tax Rate on all "'undocumented' remittances."

That'll get their attention.

And see them off!

I like Malaysia's 2002 enactment. If you're caught there working without a permit you face fines of $2,600, mandatory five years in jail and six lashes with a rattan cane. If you house or employ an illegal you get the same.

The day before it went into effect, tens of thousands of illegals lined up to get out of the country.
