"Why is this bad? Is a more severe punishment preferred? If you deport and fine nothing, that does not inflict any punishment for breaking the law. They just take all their savings with them. A fine does. Isn't this better than deportation? Do you want a higher fine? How much?"

The job they hold is an ill-gotten gain that they received by breaking a federal law. Another amnesty will simply speed the rate of illegal immigration. Build the wall and deport. Simple solution, and the only one that will stop the problem.

But this is silly. You are rewarding them for breaking the law. If you deport them, there is no punishment. Why would you reward them for breaking the law. Deportation and allowing them to keep all bank accounts in which they've been storing savings is a reward. I just don't see why you want to reward them for breaking the law.

A fine of significant proportions is a punishment for violating the law. I think most countries fine someone for overstaying a visa and then grant a visa extension in return for a fee. Why not fine the hell out of them, bill them for a proper visa and get them documented, and then set them loose to get back to work in a trackable configuration.

I just don't understand why you deportation guys want to reward illegals by deporting them. There Has To Be Punishment. If this is a truly serious crime, why not make it capital punishment? That doesn't make any money for the taxpayer, but at least it is a proper punishment.
