soon, you won't be able to leave the country, much less return without one.

****...why don't we just bring back the gladiators and throw the damn Mexicans to them or the lions???****

Now that's something that never crossed my mind - what a great idea!!

We could sell tickets and that way the gubmint could recoup some of the costs from the illegal drain on society. Then there's Pay-Per-View too. This could be a gold mine, bigger than Wrestlemania!

Emotions aside, I'm not sure you want to live in a society where those that have sworn to uphold our laws, are not beholden to them and break them themselves without consequences. We are supposed to be the civilized ones, and we don't summarily execute people in the streets or out in the woods. I wholeheartedly agree with interdiction efforts and deportations, but there must be a sense of proportion for "criminal" activity. Breaking a misdemeanor law should not warrant the death penalty.

"Breaking a misdemeanor law should not warrant the death penalty."

O.K. Then the U.S. should declare "invasion" to be a felony capital offense...

I'll agree that we need to station massive amounts of federal agents along our southern border, be they Border Patrol or National Guard. I always thought it was ironic that people were objecting to using the National Guard to assist the Border Patrol, they're the "National" "Guard". I'd rather we didn't get to the point of having an iron curtain where people are shot and left to hang in the barb-wire ala East Germany. Granted those were people trying to get out versus in, but the pictures in the newspapers would look the same. This nation was founded by Christians, on Judeo-Christian values, I'm a Christian, and one of the admonitions of God in the Old Testament and Jesus in the New Testament was to help the poor and needy, not shoot them. I'm not going to get into a theological argument with anyone, but just remember: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."

Thank you for your well-thought-out and well-stated answer to my deliberately-polarizing statement! We are in basic agreement -- as Christians.

OTOH, I believe that I got my point across that invasion of our soverign nation should be far more than a misdemeanor offense (like a traffic ticket)...

The penalty should be stiff and fearsome -- and certain -- enough that folks are deterred from making the attempt -- and such that they are not in the least tempted to do it twice.

I fear that it is going to take 'bodies on the barb-wire' to get the point across to the economic invaders that the attempt is not worth the price. But the US must stop the economic flow that is providing cover for the real invading terrorists.

This is not a peacetime situation. We are at war -- and misdemeanor arrest is not a weapon of war.
