    Good thing for us that the Indian People didn't have an INS and prisons.

    Operation Streamline. It is a very good idea even though it needs some tweaking because of due process issues. Once those issues are resolved, we need to expand it so that everyone who is caught entering the country illegally is given a criminal conviction.

    Aren't you the person that used to argue that being in the country "illegally" isn't a crime?

    That's me- and that's true. It's illegal entry that's a crime. By overstaying one's visa, it's possible to become an illegal alien without committing a crime.

    What do you think about Operation Streamline?

    I think that if this program is stressing the penal system that perhaps a very large fine and then deportation may be a better deterent to illegally entering the U.S.

    If money is the reason for illegally entering the country a financial cost may make it less attractive.

    It seems prison is really good for Hispanics young men.

    They get lots of really neat tattoos and prepare themselves for a life of crime by joining gangs and learning to really hate blacks.

    Yessir. It does a lot of good to incarcerate illegal aliens. It increases the cost to the general public now ...and later. That's really a beneficial side effect, doncha know? Teaches them how to milk the system while they learn the ins and outs of criminal activity.

    After all , McDonalds and WalMart are just looking for the opportunity to hire ex cons with tattoos up to their eyebrows on every piece of exposed skin. Aren't they?:rolleyes:

    Is it really cheaper and more efficient to incarcerate illegals than it is to secure the borders?

    If the Indian People had been better organized we white people would have had to stay in Europe and still be peasants.

    No, I'm a native American born in Brooklyn, NYC. Anyone born in the USA is a native American.

    Perhaps you're not as much of a Leftie as I thought.
