The immigration issue is complicated. There is healthy debate going on all over the country. In Arizona, the NY Times reports 1,200 illegal immigrants are in State Prisons for crimes committed in Arizona. It's a little like a Merry-go-round. People like these come across the border, get caught and sent back, only to return. Eventually, they are arrested and put into jail because there are few options.
How do you choose? What would you do if the child from another family is constantly coming over and breaking toys at your home? They show up unannounced and stay too long. They ask for food and you wonder when small things disappear if they are with this child. So, you speak to the parents but they don't do anything. In a over simplified way, this is the scenario, except it cost 5.7 million dollars in 2009 to pay the bill for illegals committing crime in Arizona.
I read that in 1995, that there were 14,000+ illegals who committed crimes in the USA. If we build a better fence, commit more people to border security, the states could return those illegals and save MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. There is a lot more work to get this thing right!
