What do you do with all the people that can't afford the return trip. Then I suppose there are still more that figure the prison sentence is a better choice than the perilous journey back to their war/crime/poverty ridden country of origin. There will still be an huge increase in spending and the number prisoners in already overcrowded jails. You are talking eleven million people.It costs about 1.5 billion dollars to incarcerate the roughly 350,000 illegal immigrants in jail now. The data is about 4 years old so it's probably more. That would only make the problem worse unless you were a shareholder of Corrections Corporation of America.Does the bill include deportation of EVERY illegal AND their children? Building triple layer wall? If not its not good enough.
The solution is quite simple, it's just that nobody has the balls (maybe except Trump) to do it:
Five year minimum sentence for anybody caught here illegally. Expired Visa's, brought here by illegal parents, sneaking across our borders, all go to jail
If we had the guts to do that, we wouldn't need any Immigration Reform. We wouldn't need a wall because too many people would be afraid to come here. It would elevate our wages because illegals couldn't come here and do any work. Wages would have to increase to get the work done.
Problem solved. A strong enough deterrent works every time it's tried.
If you passed such a law, most of them would leave on their own; self-deportation. Let's say we gave them to the end of October. Our borders would be flooded with people trying to get out of the states and go home to avoid prison.
Remember what happened a few years back when Arizona passed their own illegal immigrant laws? They scattered. The schools were empty, work crews down by 2/3. They left the state.
Of course Obama took it to court and had it stopped and they all came back, but it goes to show what the results of a strong deterrent can do. I guarantee we would get better results than anything we've tried in the past.
