How about, do we REALLY want criminals that we can easily deport to another country to dwell in our country? Better to kick them out than to allow them to poison our culture with lawlessness. And anyone or system that assists them should be imprisoned as an accessory to the crime. And illegally entering our country is a CRIME, regardless of your liberal interpretation. Don't give me this crap about, well they are going to do it anyway. If that was the case, then my parents would never have punished me when I did something wrong when they raised me.
Don't tell me that it is impossible to catch and deport illegals. It was done in the past by the tens of thousands, and it can be done easier now with out technology advances.

California should be cut off of all federal funding until they toe the line regarding federal laws. And the federal gov should stay out of the way if local authority decides to enforce federal law. If a police officer does not enforce the law, he is punished by firing or even prison. Why are federal leaders exempt from this when they take an oath of office saying they will enforce the laws?
