Instead of forcing nations to take back 19,723 illegal immigrants convicted of many crimes including rape and murder, the administration simply let them go, just a quarter of the tens of thousands of criminal illegals set free in the past three years, a House oversight committee revealed Thursday.
Outraged with the administration's actions, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told top Obama aides at a hearing, "Pull the trigger...get rid of them."
He described the steady release of convicted illegal immigrants a national scandal that the White House knows about but ignores.

You force the nations to take them back at gunpoint if needed. Or smuggle them back in or drop them with a parachute back into mexico or where they come from. They won t waste time an d money sending them back. they will shoot them themselves.

How? How do you force a sovereign nation to let someone into their borders when neither the nation or the person wants to be there?
Do you realize how quick the world would unite against us if we said "take these people or we're bombing you"? What about when the accusations start that we're mixing our own foreign agents in with these people we're forcing them to take?

Wel i did mention ALTERNATIVES but you left those out. And You can threaten sanctions but walking them to th e border of their home country then telling them to walk back over the border. Under gunpoint if they will not willingly go. I dont mean actually war with a country but force them back home and if they try to com back shoot them if they come back.
Personally its better to parachute them back in and not even deal with the border patrols.

The United States really just has to make e-everify the law of the land AND stop all money transfers (western union,etc) to mexico.
I will have to check-but if I recall correctly-most of mexico's wealth comes from illegal aliens sending cash back to mexico after illegally earning it here in the United States.
Do that and I'm betting that you will see them scrambling back under the fence in droves.

So force them into another country illegally? What do you do when that nation puts troops on the border with orders to not let them in?

I said THEIR LEGAL COUNTRY THEY BELONG TO.(caps for emphasis) If they are of a country under international law they are to take them back if they are deported.

No they aren't. There are several countries that don't take back criminal nationals. Pakistan, Algeria, and Tunisia are three.
Mexico is completely within their legal rights to at any time tell the US they refuse to take back their own citizens, and the US then has no way to send them there.
This is possible because international law is extremely weak. There's no enforcement agency over it, and if a nation doesn't want to adhere to international law anymore (potentially a law they didn't even agree with), nothing says they have to. The Supreme Court even ruled in Zadvydas v. Davis that we cannot hold criminals indefinitely. If we can't deport them to their home country because that country isn't willing, we have to let them stay here.

If they refuse to take their people back just shoot them because we dont want them either. If no one wants them its better to eliminate them.
