8. It is unbelievable that the federal response to crimes committed by

'illegal aliens' is to simply deport them. That is NOT a punishment, it's just a free bus ride home. If he'd served ten years on the armed robbery in '89, none of the subsequent crimes in the 90s would have been committed.

And the idiot letters after the article - THEIR solution is better border enforcement. IOW, send him back out of the country again. This is not an 'illegal immigrant' issue, it is about letting people go who commit crimes because they happened to be born on the other side of the border.

If an American commits a crime in Mexico, they lock him up for years, THEN send him home. Why are we incapable of doing the same?
