this case?

I assume you mean just those who come to work illegally as there "only" crime. Well you tell me when I can break the same laws they do and get off with just probation if I get caught.

How exactly do you enforce probation on someone who isnt supposed to be here in the first place?

The law has to be enforced as it is enforced on American citizens. Sorry if that just seems excessive to you.

"The law has to be enforced as it is enforced on American citizens."

And how many American citizens get probation or parole instead of the max for crimes in this country? Or a slap on the wrist, for that matter? Or for time served?

"Sorry if that just seems excessive to you."

The "deport `em all" approach of the Tancredobots is excessive. Certainly it makes more sense to focus on potential al-Qaeda terrorists than honor students. Any person with common sense would figure that the former is a greater threat than the latter. You also ought to punish the former in a more harsh manner than the latter.
