Practically speaking, just booting the criminals is not easy, precisely because the Mexican government has no place to put them, so if just kicked across the border, they immediately join the cartels. A problem for us.
The best solution is to build detention facilities under the auspices of ICE, right next to the border, to “hold” the criminals, under customs authority, until Mexico is ready to take them back.
Customs authority is weird. If you’ve seen the Tom Hanks movie The Terminal, he was essentially stuck in limbo in a customs area. Importantly, there is no habeus corpus in customs areas.
That these detention facilities are effectively prisons, even though these *former* criminals have no outstanding crimes against them, and are just waiting for deportation.
This means they are not walking on American streets, and committing more crimes. Nor are they forming or participating in gang activities.
And even if Mexico suddenly says, “send them all back”, we can delay their return for months or years with paperwork.
Finally, years ago Arizona had a great trick. It put illegals on chartered 747s, with a direct flight to Mexico City. Which is almost 1,000 miles away from the US border. Darned few of them ever came back to the US.
precisely because the Mexican government has no place to put them” /???
I see no reason why we can’t just fly them all down to Mexico City and DUMP THEM THERE, Just like the Illegals are dumped here.
The real question is, is Donald Trump a student of history and will he use what was historically a common practice, namely telling the Judiciary to GO POUND SOUND, good luck enforcing your order. See Andrew Jackson, That is precisely how he abolished the 2nd Central Bank and PAID OFF the National Debt for the Last Time in History.
Kicking out the criminal aliens even if MX isn’t “ready” for them (they’ll NEVER admit to being “ready” for them) will not be a problem for us if the border is secured and the BP is allowed to do its job.
We can start charging Mexico...tie it to NAFTA....
Trump will make a deal with Mexico.
Ike experienced the conditions you’ve described, he addressed the challenges and succeeded. Do research on Operation Wetback.
