[1989TransAm]

Build the damn wall. More at the link.

"A new Department of Justice report released Thursday reveals 20 percent of federally incarcerated individuals in the United States are illegal aliens, costing taxpayers $1.5 million per day. Many of these individuals committed serious and violent crimes, in additional to entering the country illegally."

I guess mke would rather them breaking into his nice shop. I really wish you'd put your money where your mouth is and just let a few of them move in your house, and share everything you have that is your communist religion isn't it. Sing the song Imagine no possessions !

It's called getting the criminals off the streets.

[RevTheory]

Yeah, 1 in 5 illegals have been caught, made it through court and sentencing since Trump took office.

And that is why they need a wall to keep em out.

[1989TransAm]

Yep, build the damn wall.

Which also cost a LOT of money because a wall, even an expensive one does nothing without guards. And as we've already discussed the increased security on our souther bordrt means about 2/3 of new arrivals are coning in legally with visas and never leaving....so a 100% effective souther stategy is only 33% effective for the problem.

Normally problems are handled with a cost/benefit analysis to put money where it does the most good vs a blind hate based solution that pours ever increasing resources into an ever shrinking problem.

[mk e]

Yep, build the damn wall.

I started memorials weekened and im almost done...i figured with Rump couldn't get it done I would! The block work should wrap up today.

This should kerp the damn wet feet out of the house!

.....get It? Wet feet?

OK, just to get back to the original topic, and back to facts.
1. 1 in 5 federal prisoners are illegal aliens.
2. The Government doesn't put people in Federal prison for being an illegal alien. To get put in federal prison they have to be convicted of a federal crime. Immigration and customs violations "can" result in someone being sent to federal prison, but this would involve human trafficking or something like importing drugs, or some other illegal item. Simply getting caught in the US illegally, or entering the US illegally doesn't get someone sent to federal prison.

I'm pretty sure that's not true, by definition crossing the US border is a federal crime. I'm also pretty sure your statist is counting detention center populations, i might be wrong, but I think those numbers are included.

The proportion of unauthorized immigrants in federal prison may be explained partly by the fact that immigration offenses now account for about half of all federal prosecutions, including those for smuggling people into the United States, illegally entering the country and illegally re-entering the country after being deported.

It's pretty dishonest to create a problem then complain about it.


Its also very misleading in that most crimes, thefy, murder, rape, etc are state crimes leaving so overall federal prisons are a very small part of total prison population. They account for about 4% of the total, so other than the illegal boarder crossings they tend to follow the other laws better than citizens
