Current Federal Law REQUIRES a mandatory 6 month imprisonment for the FELONY of illegally entering the USA.
Sheriff Arpaio claims that he can house and feed each one for 22 cents per day in his Maricopa County Desert Prison and Spa.
BTW, Arpaio claims that a felon cannot re-enter the USA.
The first unauthorized entry into the US is a misdemeanor, not a felony. Reentry after deportation is a felony.
Why feed them?
