I'm getting all worked up at the idea of using tent cities for the illegals. Think about it, you keep them there for the summer, or until it starts to cool off, then deport them back to Mexico. At that time, you let them know that if they return, they'll get to enjoy the tents for a whole winter. How many would take their chances to live in a tent during one of Texas northerns?
Forget the tents. Put them right on busses and ship them back to the border. Do not pass go.
