Illegal Aliens - Prison is not the Answer!

Did you know 28% of the prisoners in federal prisons are non-US citizens? About 27% are Mexican nationals. We need to rethink our immigration law and how we use our prison system. I don't care how many times someone is caught crossing the border; it is stupid to put them in prison. The cost quoted in Senate hearings last year was $628 million of our tax dollars per year to feed and house Mexican Nationals in federal prisons. This is NUTS. Either send them back, or give them a work card. Do not send them to prison. 80% do not stay in the U.S. -- they come to make some money to solve a problem at home. Most return to Mexico voluntarily within a three year period. How many prisons are we going to build? The prison industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the US. Is this a statistic we want the world to remember? Our tax dollars should be used for things that will benefit future generations, education and public infrastructure. Feeding and housing illegal immigrants is a gross waste of taxpayers' money.
