Except that deporting them does no good, since they will turn around and sneak back in. Mexican government doesn't care squat.
And I have a citizen Level 2 sex offender living in my neighborhood full of little kids. Used to see the kids all over the place, but now it's more or less a ghost town, because parents are afraid to let their kids wander. The Black Robes feel far too sorry for these creeps, legal or illegal.
Sherriff Joe Arpaio had an interesting take on illegal immigration, interviewed on local talk radio.
He doesn't believe in fences, but "Just enforce the law" (heard of that anywhere before?). He would put tent cities all along the border, catch and pen them up for a few months, in that miserable 120 degree heat, before deporting. Once they realize they will have the hurt put on them, they will stop coming. Food for thought.
Joe is a hero of mine!
