True and what the gov’t needs to do is charge them with the crime
and then sentence them to serve 6-months working for the gov’t in
some form of labor to clean things up, plant trees, gardens for the
invalid, cook/clean for them, etc. There are lots of chores that could
be assigned and help both the populace and needy. Then return them
back to their home land. They can file for legal immigration and if
approved they can come back. JMO
It’s a thought...but then you have to have someone supervise them. OUT they go. But it’s surely a thought.
Re-entering the US after one has been deported for illegal entry is a crime that carries a Federal prison sentence.
Too bad that law is never enforced.
