Okay, if you say so.
No, we haven't, we have used soft on crime approaches for decades now. They don't work. Violent felons need to be in prison for ever.
Um, guy, we have "Three strikes laws" that send minor felons to prison for stealing pizza. We have the death penalty. We lock up more people than any other country in the world. 2 Million in prison and 7 million on probation or parole. And we still have an outrageous amount of crime.
It is more tragic because she was a productive member of society.
I guess in Republican World, you are only valuable in your ability for others to get rich off of you.
A "street" kid is usually one of those committing the violence, though in those cases where truly innocent people are victims of gang violence their deaths are indeed tragic.
Sigh... yes, yes, you complain that we aren't placing value on life, and then you guys go ahead and say some lives aren't worth it. Just remember, Pro-Life only counts until the umbilical cord is cut. Then you're on your own, kid!!!
Yes, the immigration system is broken. We should halt ALL immigration till it is fixed. i agree with you on that.
Again, we have 11 million undocumented immigrants here already. Stopping immigration isn't going to fix that, it'll probably just mean more of them will find clever ways to sneak in if they can't do it legally.
If you guys on the right were SERIOUS about stopping illegal immigration, you'd go after the people who hire them. Dry up the demand, you dry up the supply.
