American families have been wrongly separated.Ok they made false statements on entering the country -but they have wrongly been charged with a crime,if I am understanding this right.This logic would do wonders for prison overcrowding.

If they all went back they wouldn’t be torn apart.

sniffle, sniffle. I need a tissue.

If they had not committed previous immigration law violations, they would NOT have been split apart.

Duh!

==

We get this sob stories every time comprehensive immigration seems to be getting attention in DC.

Notice how the article omitted the 'illegal' part of 'illegal immigration or illegal immigrant'.

The insanity of the leftist traitors continues. If the illegal alien invaders were deported as per the law, they would be “reunited” with their families. Why do leftist morons and lib idiots hate America?????

Bring em in. It'll just speed our imminent collapse & put the nation out of its misery.

It'd almost be worth it to see the expressions on the faces of these millions as they line up for their goodies only to find the welfare services door padlocked.

One big peripheral problem that needs to be addressed is that the US has a lot of Mexican citizens in prison for serious felonies.

However, when they have finished their time, Mexico has admitted that they cannot take them back all at once. If they are just kicked over the border, they immediately join one of the cartels, or immediately cross back into the US, and make things worse for both countries.

A solution to this is that there be the equivalent of “maximum security detention centers”, right on the border; likely a cooperative effort by both the US and Mexico. Their purpose would be to act as a “buffer”, so that they dangerous criminals can be returned to Mexico at a rate that Mexico can handle, and far away from the cartels.

In the northern “detention center”, as soon as state or federal prisoners are released from prison, they are taken there for “outprocessing”, in a “customs zone” where US law does not apply as strongly, like in typical customs zones.

They may be there for some years.

In effect, they are still in prison while not technically being in prison. And also out of the reach of US lawyers and the ACLU.

Then, once Mexico is ready to get them back, they are moved across the border to a Mexican maximum security detention center for “inprocessing”, getting every bit of their biometric data, getting their legal paperwork in order, determining where in Mexico they will be relocated, etc. All with the intent to make it very hard for them to get back into crime without the Mexican police quickly snatching them back up.

So they could be in there for years as well.

As things are today, either Mexican ex-cons are just released back into the US to offend again, or they are kicked across the border, resulting in far more violent crimes against both Americans and Mexicans. This needs to be addressed.

Every time I read an article or hear someone quote the 11 million total, I know it is a static, bogus figure. There must be 2-4 million illegal aliens in Texas alone. They’ve been using that figure ever since Obama got elected. Don’t believe it!

Is the “Torn Family” issue a ruse to help Obama?

It seems that Obama already has most of his extended Kenyan family here as illegal aliens.

For awhile, I was sympathetic to this cause. "Families should stay together", "Children should be with their parents", and so on.

Then, I had an epiphany.

If I committed a felony - pick one, any one - the court system wouldn't be sympathetic to *my* family. I'd be expected to go to jail, do the time, and my family would be expected to cope with my absence.

So, no more sympathy here. These illegals have made their bed, now they've got to lie in it.

"...making it easier to unite American families split apart by past immigration law violations"

They aren't "United States Of America" American families or they wouldn't be illegals looking for a short cut into citizenship.

They might be South American families, or Central American families, or Mesoamerican families.

Or they could just be run-of-the-mill illegals from Kenya or Iran or China.
