I particulary enjoyed the comments after this article. It is quite alarming, isn't it?

111,000 is low -- check out the most wanted lists of many cities, it's very easy for illegals to hop back to Mexico, obtain a new set of identification papers - plus another stolen social security number, hop back to the USA and evade justice.

Considering the estimated $50,000 annual cost to incarcerate prisoners, think of the costs to taxpayers for this foreign scum. That doesn’t even include their legal defense and court costs.
