Reply #88: A lifetime ban on re-entry? That's what "illegal immigrants" have now, and it doesn't work.

[Honeycombe8]

Unless the govt comes up with a plan to stop illegal immigration, there can be no such thing as a lifetime ban on re-entry. After all, illegal immigrants are already banned from entering, and that doesn't stop them. That's why they're "illegal."

So you supposedly ban those with a criminal record, then what....you listen to the cries of people not wanting to deport the criminal, because he now has a family here. And if, by some miracle, he does get deported, he just comes right back.

That's the crux of the problem for us. As well as whatever the hell is going on with Mexico's government to make all of its people want to leave. (And no, it's not the drug cartel.) Mexicans have free health care, right? And yet, they still want to move to America to make $$$ to send it back to Mexico, and have children here, who are automatic citizens, and thus ensure that the illegal will never be deported. It's a clever game. And it works.

(I live in an area burdened under the heavy cost of illegal immigration...the schools and the hospitals are costing the average person a small fortunre, to pay for illegal immigrants' health care and education. Ironic, when you think of it. The average American has too much $$$ to get free health care, so he pays for the illegal immigrants' free health care, while he goes without.)
