GADSDEN - In a modern, multistory building here, 300 illegal immigrants sit locked inside the only public jail in Alabama that will take them.
That's 300 every day - full capacity every day.
It's 300 every day in spite of a fleet of six buses that hauls dozens back home to Mexico each week and more to federal court appearances across the South.
The Etowah County Detention Center is where the immigration debate in Alabama becomes concrete and steel, lunch trays and jail uniforms. It's where intent runs up against reality. Because even if America wanted to arrest and deport every illegal immigrant, where would they stay while the hearings and paperwork are completed?

They (Congress) need to cut the paperwork. No papers? You're illegal-put 'em on the bus. Bang gavel--Next! They have NO Constitutional rights to clog the courts and jails.

They need to contact the Sheriff of Maricopa County, AZ. He manages to deal with them --- tent city and cheap food.
I agree. Why the need to treat these people with kid gloves? If someone is caught here illegally do a quick criminal check, no warrants, etc. - put their name, prints, picture in the database, slap the fine on em that the law ALREADY allows and ship em out. Before you ship em out tell em if ever caught again they are going to jail. If they are caught working their wages and their employers company's income will be impounded to pay the fines.
How friggin hard is that?
Start putting the shitheads who hire them in jail until it fills up, confiscate their assets to pay off the bill the illegals they hire run up for the taxpayer. The illegals will keep coming if they know they can be hired.
Sweet Home Alabama.
