A Town Willing To Enforce The Law

[BigV]

Hmm. Maybe we should, in the interest of fairness, enforce other federal laws, while we're at it. Don't you think it's fair to require tax records of previous years to verify that the potential customers haven't committed tax evasion? Better get an audit while you're at it. Oh, and to prevent the appearance of discrimination, submit *all* such customers to this scrutiny.

And while we're being so evenhanded, why restrict your deputization of landlords and construction contractors? It seems fair that all other commercial transactions should be subject to exactly the same scrutiny. Make grocery stores and gas stations liable at $1000 per transaction for food or fuel sold to illegals. And strip them of their business license to prevent recidivism.

That'll show them. They won't be able to work, have no place to live, can't buy food to eat or fuel to drive. They'll be sitting ducks! Round them up, easy as pie! Don't deport them, though, they'll just come right back. And since we don't want them consuming any of our resources, putting them in prison is really expensive, so just dig a big hole, shoot them all and send the bill for the excavation to one of those brown countries down there. Don't forget the cost of the bullets, eh?

If the feds insure that everyone is here legally you don't need any of that. Nothing. Nada. All they have to enforce is ONE law. The one that says you have to come through check points. :p

I noticed a bit on TV the other day, it seems in one section of the Mexican border, they have gotten tougher. Instead of just putting them on a bus home, they are jailed. Prints, mugshots, indentity positively established, then sent home, which takes from a day to two weeks waiting in jail. The Mexicans are very upset the processing has changed, but border crossing attempts in that sector have dropped on the order of 80%.

So how much does that cost us per person, $500?

Does it matter if they are catching fugitives from justice and cutting the influx of illegals?
Especially considering the other expensive schemes that didn't work.
