Five BILLION dollars a year to incarcerate illegals who commit crimes? How about just sending them back and securing the borders?
I'm with you, Peach...just send 'em home.
And make sure the borders are secure enough to catch them...all of them...when they try to reenter. We have caught tens of thousands this year alone (I believe it was 24,000 plus) coming in across Arizona's porous borders as well as through the Ports of Entry. The key was the implementation of a system that checked fingerprints against a fingerprint database tied to several 'wants and warrants' style databases.
