The Mexicans will shoot them at the border.

“Someone should set up a non-profit foundation and start collecting donations to buy one-way tickets for illegal immigrants.”

Good idea....repubs keep talking about ‘outreach’....

Can we give them free tatoo’s so we can identify them when they come back?

Most of them are illegals so I have no sympathy for them.

Add the trip home to the bailout package.

The alternative is voluntarily surrendering to ICE ... then they get a free ride home.

Buying plane tickets home for them is the kind of stimulus I could support.

Sounds like a fantastic opportunity for a tele-thon!

Of course the left would be appalled at how much money could be raised for this particular cause - which might just be another point in favor of such an effort...

I’m sure Barack Obama will undoubtedly find a way to subsidize their continued parasitic existence even if it means bankrupting America.

Someone get out the violins.

It would be amusing if there was a conservative version of Michael Moore who’d do a documentary of a disillusioned illegal alien trying to get himself deported back to Mexico. Going to the INS and being ignored, then to the police, etc.

But in an increasingly tight economy, homeowners are now handling many of the tasks they used to hire day laborers to perform.

Husbands.... doing the work that illegals won't do cheaper!

Sounds like some interest group might be pushing for unemployment benefits for these folks...with competent and well-paid community organizers to assist in distribution of the benefits.

It will cost much less to send them back now. Once they get into the entitlement programs and start getting a monthly check from the US Treasury, they won't want to leave the land of opportunity.

Send the Brazlians back too. I saw a documentary on TV (cancelling cable soon). It was about crime in Brazil. Unreal. A guy had a Porsche Turbo 911 about $130,000 car in the USA. It cost over $220,000 in Brazil then around $75,000 to make it bulletproof. You would think you would not want to advertise any wealth. ???

Everyone with money travels by helicopter to avoid being kidnapped. Political corruption is rampant, like the USA. Attorneys, cops, and judges try to fight but any more it is almost a lost cause.

We are losing our rule of law with open borders so we may be there soon.

If they turn themselves into ICE they will detain them, charge then for illegal entry and run fingerprints to check for criminal records before giving them a free ride home. So that should tell you something.
