"How about a rescue, and then 10 years of hard labor in the USA?
You wouldn't have a problem with that, right?"
Nope. Not if that was the law. It's not, though. Crossing the border illegally doesn't have anything like that penalty. I think we should change the law to make illegal border crossing a felony.
Still, if we did that, we'd be feeding and housing all those illegals, rather than sending them back across the border.
What I am in favor of is enforcing our laws...no more...no less.
So if US laws were changed to make illegal border crossing a FELONY, punishable by 10 years of uncompensated hard-labor, under conditions that assured the state would more than recoup the costs of incarceration, then you WOULD approve of that, right?
