Tell me, Alan, where you draw the line?  If jail and deportation won't stop
them, just what in the name of Hades do you think is going to? Playing nice?
They are already willing to break the law to get here, and many of them are
already violent felons in Mexico or wherever they come from.  They couldn't
care less about breaking any more laws and nothing short of risking death is
going to deter them.  Do you have the backbone to apply that force, or are you
going to roll over and put your ass in the air like the rest of the nice people
who feel so sorry for those poor disadvantaged people?

I'm not trying to pick a fight here.  I'm trying to get you to understand that
they don't respect us, and don't respect our laws.  They will take every
advantage they can to get here and stay here, up to and including more crimes
against US citizens.  For instance, the number of rapes, assaults, murders, and
burglaries committed by illegals has skyrocketed in the last couple of years,
and that doesn't even consider the terrorists slipping in amongst them to do
god knows what.

The time for being nice and compassionate has long since gone past.  You people
have let it happen by trying to avoid angering anybody, and now you have to pay
the piper.  You don't like the butcher's bill, but it has to be paid
nonetheless.
