I would like to add that I also advocated putting some teeth into our immigration laws, beefing up the Border Patrol OR using the military, and the lowering of our aid to Mexico by 10k for every illegal caught, processed and returned to Mexico.
Nothing like a little financial incentive to help Mexico see the light.
What would you propose for return offenders? I would think that the penalties should not be linear here. Make it $20k the 2nd time, $40k the 3rd, $80k the 4th....
Maybe deduct the cost of Medical for the illegals already here too.
