Reply #90: umm, border security? easier legal immigration?

[alp227]

Those are the basic ideas i can think about right now, but many of those people who cry "secure the border!" also are unwilling to pay for it. And I am clueless of why those who immigrate to the US illegally can't do so via the legal channels. Because it's too expensive? slow? And as for lifetime bans on re-entry I heard this story from Seattle about a suspected rapist http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8405732">who'd been previously deported NINE TIMES! But keep in mind that illegal re-entry does have a serious federal prison term of at least 2-5 years if I recall correctly.
