Bingo!

You know what, since international law now supports what Mexico is doing to us, let’s start sending all our problematic people down to Mexico, and drop them off on the other side.

Two can play this game.

$2B IS NOT NEEDED:

Have the National Guard patrol the border. Bring in local militias if needed.

Announce deportations will begin immedtiately

Cut off ALL benefits for illegals in this country.

Problem solved

Next question please.

Mexico treats immigrants very very very harshly though.

Well, OK. Provided that the money comes right out of the IRS and EPA budgets.

Want a couple of billion? Then take it from them.

Well, perhaps it would be a good thing to get that on the record.

Drop them off at their embassy and wash his hands of them. Simple and doesn’t cost the taxpayer a dime. Of course, he brought them over and now he’s bringing over their entire families.

Agree. The only money should be to return the children to their homelands. Furthermore, all entry to the US from central America should be barred until the task of returning the children to their homelands is completed.

It'll be interesting to see which HOR "conservatives" stand firm against the invasion of the US with this latest outrage.

Two points.
The first is when did we start paying tribute to foreign countries not to use their kids as weapons for invasion?

The second is why don’t we just sell the kids to Germany for $2B, since children (and their proper upbringing) are so precious to them?

The third (I know, I know), is that we can fire all the IRS employees recently hired for ObamaCare as a source of tribute, if that’s what King Hussein Really wants to do.

Where’s the border control required by law? No money for that? Bull.

Illegal entry = automatic deportation.
