The ankle monitors come in five sizes:

Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, and Hillary.

On one hand, we are a nation of (descendants of) immigrants.

OTOH we are a nation, and can and of right should regulate who becomes one of us and who does not. We have little tendency to restrict immigration more than any other nation does; if Mexico adopted our immigration law and practice its character would probably change. There is an argument that we should adopt strictly reciprocal immigration laws--if an American can't go to Mexico, a Mexican can't come here.

Utterly ridiculous! What else can be said about something so asinine?

What's up with these ankle monitors?  Any fool knows all they have to do is cut them off and by the time the authorities respond........they are long gone.

Another stupid method invented by government to create even more government jobs and to insure women and "domesticated men" that the government is making them even more safer than before.

ensure their return for court appearances as required by law

What? Why the hell do they get a court appearance??? Just boot their ass back across the border. Simple.

"You have to take all of these things into account. They're on house arrest, essentially. They're able to go out and be with their family and kind of have a semblance of a life while they're awaiting their court hearing, which could literally go on for 10 or 15 years, depending on how many appeals they get," Courtney said.

What's to stop the illegal aliens from putting their plastic leg devices on their grandmother's leg? This is ridiculous. 15 years, to await a court hearing? My arse.
