I don’t know if these arrests work though, if they end up busing them back to Mexico only to release them then they’ll be back in Georgia in short order. I strongly feel actual criminals should be punished in the United States even if they are illegal but we should be using work camps and not multi-billion dollar prisons.

The reasons I would respectfully disagree with you are that convicted illegals would (as US prisoners) become a near-unending charge upon the US taxpayer and an “oppressed peoples” cause celebre. From Mexico, meaning from the viewpoint of someone standing on Mexican territory, they will have appeared to have successfully crossed the border, and if they are in a work camp, getting fed and earning even pennies an hour, they now become union-busters (assuming they do any useful work) and they may actually equal their Mexican wages (factoring in room & board) so incarcerated. We have got to, IMHO, stop setting ourselves up with taxpayer-funded systems and structures that can be overwhelmed deliberately or by virtue of the sheer demographics of the situation.
I’d like to see them returned to Mexico, because in my admittedly most cynical opinion, just like California, I do not believe the system has the capacity to fix itself given where we are. To put it another way, we’re so far beyond screwed we can’t even catch a bus back to screwed. I believe the system literally has to crash on the rocks, to drive over the edge of the cliff. Getting two wheels hung over the edge won’t do it. And so, if these crims are returned to Mexico and further “chaosify” Mexican society, perhaps *then* will the Mexican government get its act together. Perhaps.
