A double fence from Gulf Coast to the Pacific, could be built in 1 year... It would probably take 2 years, though..
As for what we do with the illegals in the meantime...
Give them that time to return home and start the LEGAL process of immigration..
Basically, tell them it's a Misdemeanor Crime to get caught here while we're building the border fence..
But when it's finished, it becomes a FELONY, and they will spend 1 year for the 1st offense at hard labor..
A second offense will be 2 years, 3rd Five Years, etc..
And they will still get sent home after they serve their time, and they will be forever barred from entering, even legally...
Let the illegals decide what to do, go and re-enter legally, or stay and serve time, and lose any chance at citizenship..
Ack!!! Forgot Italics Off !!!!
Would we be doing this through the courts/INS or just rounding them up and shipping them out?
