Deport them 1,000 times and they'll just come right back across the border 1,000 times. What a joke and what a total waste of tax dollars, all for the sake of pre-election window-dressing. Same goes for these "raids" on scofflaw businesses. Way too little, way too late.
I'm often cynical about this sort of thing, like you are. But on the other hand, several Central American countries are having a huge problem with gang members who were deported from the U.S. (El Salvador is the prime example.)
So it appears that not all of them are making their way back into the states. That's good for us, but real bad for Central America.
My thoughts exactly. Until the border is controlled, this is a waste of resources.
