Additionally, you don't support the death penalty under any condition. Many of your positions make you the epitome of what some would call weak on crime. Just saying ......

Right O!! There are 3 areas of crime that I believe deserve jail time.

1. Property Damage
2. Theft
3. Physical Harm

Incarceration serves more than one purpose. Deterrence of others. Treatment. Keeping truly dangerous people away from the public.

But I agree that fines would be more beneficial, if they can collect them. That way the public isn't on the hook for even more money. I think the typical outlaw is not going to have the money to pay them, unless they are a big time drug dealer, fast company business person or some fallen-from-grace trust fund kid. There was a local drug dealer here who built one of the fanciest houses in an exclusive neighborhood, and I understand it was after he got out of prison. Of course, construction typically has a lot of ne-er do wells and substance abusers so that's probably where he got his start.

I had a younger guy working here recently re-doing the wiring. Learned he was a serious jailbird; and actually you couldn't trust him. But I think he was mentally stuck somewhere; I talked to his dad more than a few times and he said that the guy and his 3 brothers were drug users so there is some kind of lunacy in that family.

Regarding illegals in prison, I would wonder if there is any real deterrence. We offer so many programs for prisoners it's ridiculous! They may even look at it as a step up, at least from what they would have at home. If they are in for several years and then get deported they are not going to find very good circumstances there either. Won't they likely resort to more crime, contributing to the breakdown of their own culture? I would say if we can have effective border control, just get rid of them as soon as possible so we don't have to pay for them.

Yes, Captainron, just get these illegal aliens out of here and keep them out. All of our attention and resources should be devoted to mass rapid deportations. Don't let them in, if they get in, get them out swiftly and keep them out.

There are two things the President can and should do that wouldn't cost us any money, wouldn't require funding, wouldn't require acts of Congress and would prevail in lawsuits if any were even filed.

1. Plan B:

Tell all these countries, if your citizens continue to enter our country illegally, then you country will have no aid from or trade with the United States. Period.

2. State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance

Do an Executive Order that authorizes all willing state and local law enforcement agencies to enforce US immigration law without any threat of reprisal or lawsuits from the federal government. Provide some simple working arrangements and cut them loose.
