I don't want to pay taxes to build enough labor camps to house 10 million illegals.

Stalin had them self-sustained. A batch of prisoners arrives and first builds the perimeter and guard facilities. Only after they are allowed to build barracks for themselves. Motivation, motivation...

Anyway, the credit goes to Travis McGee for suggesting that.

I was kidding about the labor camps, only making the point of the need for persecuting illegal aliens, rather than giving them a pass.

said he will hire a smuggler on his return
Things are pretty lax, aren't they! Un-believable.

[Travis McGee]

We would have to use an entire state to house 10 million illegals...

No way Jose! Once the policy of detention of illegals is implemented (after an amnesty period for illegals to go home), word will get around real fast that Uncle Sam's Welfare Tit has been closed for illegals.

The way that the Russian style camps work, they cost almst zip. You load a train with barbed wire, lumber, tents and prisoners. You send the train out an abandoned rail spur in Montana or Nevada where seedlings need to be planted, or anti erosion work needs to be done.

The prisoners first build the fences and towers (under supervision). Only then they can build their huts. The guards live in mobile homes, it's all brought in on the train. The guards are retired military volunteers who will bring their own rifles and dogs. It's very economical.

After the first 100,000 illegals are spending their year of cutting brush and planting seedlings and digging drainage ditches, word will get out muy rapido a los otros. They will very quickly rediscover that life in Mexico, Guatemala or Algeria is better than a year in a Montana work camp prior to deportation. They will leave voluntarily to avoid a year of unpaid penal labor, believe me. They will be heading for the exits pronto.

All it would take is national will.

I was kidding about the labor camps,

I'm not. There has to be a method to "incentivise" the return of illegals to "the old country".

The threat of a year's hard labor in Wyoming or Idaho for breaking our laws would be enough to send them packing.

....some say they may stay for good.

Christmas comes early this year. This is the best news I have heard in a long time. I hope they all go home and stay home where they belong - forever.
