Illegal immigrants putting strain on prison system

What gives the illegal mexicans the right to serve their time in a federal prison eating hot meals a day, have running water, and a roof over their head at night on my dollar? Its not right nor is it fair to the american people to have to pay for these tax burdens. Solution.....if an illegal wants to live in this country let them serve the country thru our military system and show their support of this country and then they may have a right. It is unjust to for the working class to pay taxes on illegals that have no right to be her in the first place. Deport them and who cares if they serve time its punishment enuf to live in a country like that> They can lose their freedom that way. I will never even spit on an illegal for the sake of this Country

Jesus was a liberal - he sat down with lepers and prostitutes and tax collectors and he did not call people roaches. You may not be Christian but you are human, so start acting like it. We cannot solve problems with hate. I am not a Christian nor a liberal, but I am decent human being and I support the death penalty. Don't single out an ethnicity when you suggest execution of criminals. I like the 30 day appeal idea and execution immediately thereafter for murderers, rapists, and child molesters. I am all for deportation and a huge impenetrable fence along our border. However I see many people working hard and earning a living and paying their taxes when many other non-minorities are not. Learn to live with other people and be a little more open minded. And remember WE have to live with YOU.

Meredith Everhart, Brunswick County Assistant District Attorney said,[Quote] "If we had just deported them immediately then we have no way of assuring that they serve time. Then they serve no time and there's no consequences for the crimes that they have committed." [Unquote] Maybe Mexico can send us a check on a monthly basis for keeping their dangerous criminals here in the USA and too keeping them from doing crime and time in their country. Sounds good to me :-) All in favor raise their right hand.

what happened to the law that when a illegal immigrant was caught they were quickly DEPORTED back to MEXICO? Another bunch of crap our system sold to us so we would think they are all doing their jobs so well. Why in the paper can you read all about the MEXICANS that got busted...why are they still here? Politics suck and is ruining our country! Since the jails are so full of them why don'e our lawmakers offer them a place to stay? They already do by letting them stay here and giving them benifits to boot!

Illegals should not be here, and they should all be deported. Simple. Arresting & deported is not so simple, especially when the same illegals return many times over. One easy thing we can do...STOP BENEFITS. Must our elected representatives extend these benefits, intended for legal citizens, to illegals and their families? It costs the taxpayers billions in dollars each year, overburdens the systems, and is a dangerous and wasteful direction for our country. Voters and concerned citizens need to take action...with their votes!

We have to realize that this article is talking specifically about illegal aliens who commit state or federal crimes and load down our prisons. That's a byproduct of border security and immigration policies that have totally collapsed, but the issues shoudln't be lumped together, the lines blurred. This is a distinct problem, far more serious than some guy simply hopping the border to find work. So ask yourself this question: What's the practical difference when Raleigh Central releases an American born felon (who now wanders the streets freely) or we deport a released illegal immigrant felon who is then free to slip back over the border whenever the mood strikes him? Both of them are either going to commit another crime or they're not, and the simple fact is that two-thirds of them WILL commit another crime. This is a crime control issue, not an illegal immigration issue. So while you're writing to your senators and congressman to demand they fix our broken border security, write a letter to the governor, your state senator and local assemblyman demanding a three-strikes law that will lock ALL violent felons up for life without parole, regardless of immigration status. Tell them that you don't mind paying higher taxes to build a few more prisons, as long as people that go to them stay for a long, long time. We CAN defeat the good ol' boys lawyer network and lock their dangerous cash cows up for good.

It isn't just Brunswick County that has this problem it is the good old USA. We need to track them down at the grocery store when they are getting about 12 out of a van or at a party in Cloverleaf MHP. The walk in and no one cares until they do a crime then the jails are full of Mexicans. The law all over need to start cleaning out the states and the Judges need to send them back on buses with just sandwichs. We shouldn;t have to feed them 3 square meal a day. And the Food Stamp people need to stop giving them stamps and people need to turn them in when they find out they are here without the proper paperwork.

Get rid of the open-borders criminals, including the Governors, Mayors, judges and city administrators and all those who out to appease the illegal immigrant advocates. Those who aid and abet illegal immigrants including local government officials should go to prison. Everybody is crying about the Economy? But do you realize the amount of money taxpayers are contributing to the lifestyles of illegal aliens.Not just 12 million as you hear in America? That number was given 6 years ago? Today it's probably between 20 & 30 million and climbing! You are supporting their free health care, education and more than the unsuspecting taxpayers realizes. Assign to you by the parasite employers all around us. Both Presidential candidates are going to deliver to their corporate donors and special interest groups AMNESTY! That will lead to OVERPOPULATION, because the census estimates we will another 120 million more mouths to feed in just twenty years. A 50% increase in people. But what about the millions, just waiting to scramble across our undermanned border? The SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) is our last chance. 80 percent of the American population are NOT easily going to be swayed, by either Obama, McCain to give the 13 to 20 million illegal aliens any kind of Amnesty.? By any name they want to call it? It has to be voted by house, Senate, and THE PEOPLE and that will have major hurdles, if not impossible? Everybody who doesn't have the right papers, know they are intentionally breaking the law. Their is no malice by the agents; just a duty to the American people and those who came here legally. The 'Rule of Law" must be observed by every person in the United States. LAUREL, Miss, a manufacturing plant where 600 illegal aliens were arrested this week, shows the astronomical cost of this problem? The federal agents declined how many agents were involved in the raid, but said they acted on a tip provided by a union worker. You cannot tell me for one minute, that the CEO, Directors on mahogany row didn't know about the illegal workers? Ice has a Tipline: 1-866-DHS-2ICE for intelligence to locate illegal aliens, or predatory businesses that employ them. If we can only pass the Federal SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) that Democrats are trying to keep away from the public eye. Its funding will build a massive force of interior ICE agents, including 20.000 border patrol enforcement to root out the culprits and the E-verify data base that is 90.5 percent effective.

THE MEXICANS ARE TAKING OUR MONEY OUT OF THE COUNTRY. THAT'S WHY WE ARE HAVING FINANCIAL PROBLEMS BECAUSE OUR MONEY ISN'T CIRCULATING IN THE US, IT'S GOING OUT AND NOT COMING BACK IN.

Maybe once our elected officials do something to keep them from getting welfare benefits, WIC, free education, free medical care etc., they'll stop coming here. Oh, yeah, I forgot. Those same elected officials need the cheap labor the immigrants bring. How will they line theirs and their cronies pockets of they actually did something about this problem?

"easy fix" are you running for president? if so I am voting for you

Deport them "illegal's" and we should end up with fewer in our prisons, schools, hospitals, jobs, and in every facet of our society burdening tax paying citizens while our economy suffers.

this is a perfect example of a waste of time and money. this is an easy fix. if you come to this country(illegally) and do FELONY crimes. EXECUTE them. no sitting in prison for years. give them 6 months(max) to plead there case. them be done with them. thats it. if we would be harsh on the (illegal) ones. them they would start acting like the had some common sense or be DEAD. that would send a message to the world. if you want to come here, we welcome you. do it legally and follow the rules of the country.
