It's far more than 12 million but ask yourself - how did they all get in?

Not only did they come on buses and in cattle cars, many hiked through searing hot deserts, rode on in locked inside unventilated box cars. Not only that, they paid cartel criminals thousands of dollars for the ride or walk across the border.

Considering that these people are perfectly willing to pay a cartel member $5000 to $10000 for the one-way trip to the USA, we could charge them a fair price for the ride back home.

Oh and I like the fast rail idea. I've invested in rail perhaps if it turned some profit it would offset my taxes for supporting the illegals. I doubt it, but just a thought. I'm deffinitly a fed up tax payer.
That's it, when employee's get real fines for illegaly hiring illegals it'll slow thangs down. Treat an employer with a crime, say 3 months in jail for first offense w/3,000$ fine and with big co.'s make someone resposible for the hiring(at least check paperwork) knowing they could face these fines/penalties and thang would gradualy change. Also make government workers that ok a person's application for welfare, section 8 housing, foodstamps be held resposible and face the same fines/penalties, JMHO

I agree with punitive fines for employers. Jail time is too ridiculous (it serves to cost more money to the tax payer than what's it worth). And really? Charging the government to pay fines? At what point do you charge fines to the consumer that is buying products that support the companies then? At some point there is the end of culpability.

Naw, I'm not wanting to fine the company's, but more make the individual employeer responsible for the fine and the jail time. That goes double for the government workers, then maybe someone would start following the laws. Yea we are gona pay more for fruit and getting our lawns cut, maid service, and construction workers. Dang we would have to start hiring Americans legal tax paying
citizens at a fair wage to do these jobs, instead of 10 illegals packed up in a apt. and sending most of there money back to mexico. Someone is resposible at a work place for hiring illegals, same goes for government assistance. Make someone sign to hire a person or give government assistance and let said person know they are resposible to make sure said person is a legal citizen or has proper paper work. ARE you folks crazy, you thank you as a American can just go to another country and work illegaly other governments don't put up with it why should we.

Great Idea. We know they can find Walmart! They can bring their money and catch the bus at the same time!

I agree, they paid coyote's in order to get here illegally. Why not charge them to "get out" legally
