Jailing Illegals

Think how the Columbia cartels would LOVE that.

Good point! I was just brainstorming... but you're right, once convicted of a crime, you should be put in jail in the nation and state where you committed the crime, and was arrested and convicted.

The ultimate question in this thread is: What is the U.S. going to do with 10 million illegal Mexicans (and the 1 million illegals from other countries)? Like previous posters said, the U.S. is getting the uneducated and the criminals fleeing from Mexico's corrupt government. It's not like the doctors, lawyers, and engineers are mass immigrating over here. The Mexican government encourages illegals to come to the U.S. so that it doesn't have to deal with them or pay for them.

Why can't Mexico jail its own criminals? (Many illegals who come to the U.S. and commit crimes also committed crimes in Mexico; this is why they fled in the first place). Why can't Mexico provide jobs, or at least care and education, to its uneducated and poor? Because Mexico doesn't want to.

I blame the government of Mexico as the main source for the U.S.'s immigration problems. The Mexican government is corrupt, impotent, and cares nothing for its own people.
