Note the date of this article. Glad to see that the Feds have finally realized what I have been preaching for years. At a conservative cost of $25K a year, it is costing American taxpayers SEVEN AND A HALF TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR to incarcerate other countries' criminals. And just think of all the AMERICAN criminals, who are roaming about the country unabated, free to commit more crimes, we could incarcerate with all that available cell space. Of course if they don't secure the borders, these criminals will be back like a bad check! The savings alone for one year would build TWO walls, one for each border!

Seven and a half “TRILLION” dollars? We should be buying all of Mexico with all that money.

Your math is a bit off... 25k * 200k = 5 billion, not trillion.

Er - Unless I’m missing something, the amount is on the order of $5 Billion a year assuming 200,000 Illegals at $25K/head/year.

But you are right, they’ll be back, not only because of the porous Border but because they are willing to commit crimes that no American wants to commit. :-)

Great, so now illegals get a “get out of jail for free” pass? Well, that’ll sure teach them to come here and commit crimes!

The Mexican government is deeply saddened.

It won’t do a bit of good until the WALL is finished! They’ll just walk back in.

what a concept...
