U.S. Deportation Plan Angers Mexicans

We need bigger planes.

We should lease a 100K acres for 99 years or such in Liberia, Ivory Coast, or even Pitcairn Island (if its that big). Call it Camp Botany Bay or Camp Niggardly.

Take DNA/fingerprints of illegals. Get caught a second time? $25K fine and two and half years hard labor at the Camp. One way ticket. Provide transportation to the nearest, appropriate embassy after the time is served.

Let family, friends, or your OWN government bring you back home to your OWN country after release. Otherwise, you're on your own.

Apply it to convicted officers of the court too, if appropriate (i.e., shoplifting no, embezzlement of clients fund, yes).

And the employers of illegals. $100K fine and one year for each instance of intentionally/knowingly employing an illegal.

You may be on to something here. We should deport them in the Mexican tourist towns. This would really piss off the businesses in these towns and possibly cause them to do something about it.

I chose Cancun for two reasons; 1) It's a tourist town, and the constant influx of repatriated Mexicans would really toss a wrench into Mexico's tourism business, and 2) it's one of the farthest points away from the American/Mexican border.

No comprende, Senor.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

Why are we putting them on planes?They walked here did'nt they?THEY CAN WALK THE HELL BACK THEN!!

[traditionalist]

I am beginning to think that the only thing we can do to stem the tide is jail American businessmen and farmers who employ these people.

You've got it. That's what I've been saying for years. Great minds think alike.

[luckodeirish]

That's senorita to you hot shot :)

[hardhead]

Ain't that a cryin' shame they no like deportation by aircraft!

[Netizen]

"If they have to deport us, they shouldn't treat us like criminals," said Martin Romero, 38, a field worker from Durango.

When you enter the country illegally, you ARE a criminal.

If they don't like being placed in Juarez, perhaps we could just drop them over Cuba and really watch them complain, huh?

[Travis McGee]

The pilot program has caused anger on the Mexican side, where town officials say they are ill-equipped for the influx of deportees.

Oh, boo hoo now.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Sorry, Lass, er Senorita. I was thinking as I posted that. " an Irish Lass can claim the luck o de Irish, just as well as can an Irish lad.

Some o dese on line names reveal no hint as to gender.

A tip o de derby to ya maam.

False papers remain old hat. Only a completely vetted National ID would suffice. It would require Retinal Scanning and Fingerprinting... and maybe more.

"Could the reason possibly be socialism?"

I've given this statement more thought.

The illegal immigrants come, not because they have socialism in their countries, they don't. They come because we have socialism in our country.

Tell me this is a joke PLEASE...They can not "handle" their own people , but we are supposed to absorb them with a smile

I am sure within days this program will be killed

"Inhumane" you know

[solo gringo]

Mr chavez says it is bad because it gives them a class of people they don't want.Well Duh give them to the gringo's they know how to handle them.

[FITZ]

They come because we have socialism in our country.

They're pretty much 100% behind Davis and Bustamante ---- they love Socialism. If they didn't you wouldn't see the 35% welfare rate they have ---- 50% in some regions.

I chose Cancun for two reasons;

I'd deport them to the Federal District of Mexico City. That's the seat of their country's government plus where all the extremely wealthy politicians are who could really help them out financially. Maybe send them there with weapons. Show them the movie The Patriot before the plane lands.
