Is it a deterrent or are we just be going to be filling more jails?
Of course it would be a deterrent. But yes, it would also fill more jails.

This may be a good law but only if it's augmenting some very drastic changes in how illegals are handled to begin with. Mandate e-verify nationwide and implement severe penalties for those hiring them. Problem solved.
I don't think there is any easy solution but yes, fight the battle on all fronts.

How much does it cost to keep someone in jail for 5 yrs.? I agree we need to end the incentives for them to come here.
I believe the warning is the first deportation. Then Explain in no uncertain terms..... You come back, you go to prison.
I stand by my original view. Crossing the border illegally, while wrong to a a point, without ill intentions is of very little concern to me. Once caught, I think they're situation needs to be evaluated. If they've been in the US for years and are just trying to make a living, give them some time to apply for citizenship and let them be. If they've been causing trouble, deport them and warn that if they try and come back, they must do so legally.
Like I said, all of our policy seems to be about catching the immigrants and not about fixing the system. I know we can create jobs that shouldn't exist by having people try to find illegal immigrants, but a smarter solution (if the government's capable of one) would have better long term results.
Sen. Mitch McConnell is going to introduce legislation that would be called Kate's law. Kate Steinle was the woman killed by a man that had been deported back to Mexico 5 times.
Kate's Law would mandate prison time for 5 years for those caught back in this country after being deported.
The Mitch McConnell website is taking signatures for the required petition.
That's a start. Add mandatory e-verify and seize any assets being sent out of the country by criminal aliens.

Not quite. Bill O'Reilly has a petition on his website addressed to Boehner and McConnell. I see no links that McConnell is on board or is proposing legislation.
Let's call it Bill O'Reilly's Law.
