Catch and Release Is a Farce

[wobblies]

Why do we allow people to stay in the country when we catch them crossing illegally? It is an open invitation to come here. If people know that all they have to do is cross the border and they will be allowed to stay, they are going to come illegally into the country. People should be required to document residency or returned across the border that they crossed.

As it is, Mexico helps these people cross by offering them shelter and supplies on their route. This is not enforcement of the borders.

For once, we agree. What we're doing is insane... these people illegally cross the border, we're spending God knows how much on flying them all over the country, putting them in shelters, giving them a health exam, feeding them.... and then what? Even if we DO deport them eventually (which we probably won't), what have we (or they) really gained?

Not a damn thing.

The President should acknowledge that making efforts to allow young illegal immigrants to stay in the country has caused the upsurge in illegal immigration.

This is an article on advocate for illegal immigrants meeting 'storming' through the halls of our Congress demanding amnesty. Are these people citizens? If not, why are they given such a forum? If they are not in the country legally, why are they not being arrested? These people pose a potential threat to our national security.
