Seriously, prison sentences for illegally entering the country is grade-A nuts. There's other stuff on there that at least sounds good, but this sounds like "we'll solve a $$ problem with $$$".
- btym 10y agoYeah, this is just confusing. The supposed economic impact of having illegal immigrants work for less than minimum wage is not going to be worse than the impact of housing, clothing, and feeding them for 2-5 years.
- finid 10y agoPrivate prison operators are not worried about that. It's money, your money, in their pocket. By the way, the scheme is already in place. It's part of the limited immigration "reform" that Obama managed to get from the Republicans. There's a minimum guaranteed prison time before deportation. So the 2-5 years minimum is just bonanza.
- giarc 10y agoI feel like deporting them over and over again would be cheaper than housing/feeding/clothing them for 5 years.
