I recently convicted an illegal man of a felony. He didn't murder anyone, though. He had been here 20 years or so, he had a house and children, he was convicted of a felony assault, and then he was deported, No if and or butts.he had kids and wow, that's the law. Justice is often depicted as blind and with a sword.
We need to stop deporting these crimnals and make them do hard time breaking rocks into pebbles.
Do BOTH

When Arnold Schwarzenegger was CA Gov, he proposed building prisons in Mexico
for deporting illegals who were costing the state billions in public resources a year.
What I have suggested is creating a "prison exchange" program, where sweatshops and factories in Mexico are run through prison programs; so people who commit capital felonies can 'trade their citizenship" with immigrants on the waiting list who want to work an honest living in America as law abiding citizens.
That way, we reward law abiding productive workers with citizenship, while those who choose to abuse their rights and freedoms to commit premeditated crimes depriving others of rights and liberty would get their citizenship privileges revoked. And the people convicted of repeat offenses and organized trafficking can do the sweatshop work as restitution, and pay restitution to help crime victims get education and training for jobs.

As for how to build facilities to manage such an exchange, for all the trafficking crime and govt corruption for which taxpayers are owed billions if not trillions, we can organize legal teams to assess the debts and damages to the public, claim tax credits and create federal reserve accounts holding land along the border as collateral on these debts,
and issue notes against those debts to finance development of military bases, campus housing and jobs, factories, teaching hospitals, where restitution for crime can be invested in creating safe sustainable communities for workers to claim legal residency.
Both inmates and immmigrants who want to restore equal status in society could enroll in educational programs, where they can work for credits and share ownership in building their own schools, campus towns, and city states. If there are 12-20 million Mexican nationals living on US soil, why not set aside land for 4-5 cities the size of Houston along the border, for these Mexican citizens to claim as their legal home base; then once they are registered legally, under a sponsoring university, church or business program, they can apply for a "transfer" or "guest visa" to study, work or live in other places in the US as long as they are in good standing with their sponsoring program. This would reward immigrants and workers for enrolling legally, and screen out criminals with illicit intent.
If Clinton, Sanders and now the Workers Unions want to take leadership roles, they can take on this challenge of building and governing city-states along the border. Why not invest campaign money for party leaders candidates into building solutions directly?
