" Thank you very much. (Whoever you are. You never sent a name or nickname). Yes, you are right. I hardly comment on any issues because most comments are nothing but bickering and useless arguments. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Your intelligent conversation was quite a nice change for once. Take care and I hope we will share our thoughts on other issues as well. "

" Well Mr. AZ Cowboy, it looks like we are in total agreement on this matter. I think that your idea is a very good one to say the least. Now if only we could get the higher ups to implement this. This thread of comments is a VERY rare occurrence for the Dispatch. Usually, people get on here to argue... but it was nice to get on and have civil correspondence with you. Have a great weekend Sir!! "

" Thanks for responding. Your questions was: "What do you suggest that the U.S. do with these people???" Well, in every city where there is a prison, I am sure there is work that needs to be done, whether it be construction, road repairs, or just picking up trash along the roadways. Instead of paying high wages, get the inmates to do the job(s). Putting them to work without pay -- call it community service for their crimes. Money will be saved and putting inmates to work who think they can come to the U.S. and lay around would definitely make them think twice about coming back. As it is right now, our prisons are 5-Star hotels for them. And I don't specifically point to the illegals but for all inmates. There are just as many "lazy" U.S. citizens in our prisons who commit crimes so they can lay around and get fed 3 times per day. Putting prisoners to work for their whole prison term would definitely get things done for cheap labor. "

" I agree with you, the situation can be out of control at times. But what can we do??? The U.S isn't a third world country with jails and prisons that would deter people from Mexico or other countries. We have it good here, from our biggest most luxurious hotels, to our worst prisons... they are all MUCH better than that of the third world. What do you suggest that the U.S. do with these people??? Send them back? That hasn’t worked for years. The way our laws are set up are: you do something illegal, i.e. aggravated assault- you go to jail, and our jails are full of people who deserve to be there. The border fence can only do so much, and anything else the U.S can do about stopping the flow will only delay their entry. As the saying goes, "You build a 20 foot wall; someone will make a 21 foot latter.” P.S this has been going on since the border was established… but our plights to secure our border and our programs for our citizens coupled with changes in Mexico have magnified issues that we didn’t anticipate.

" The IAFIS may be fine and dandy in catching criminals but in fact, these illegals are playing you (us) for fools. Ok, so he is sentenced to 51 months of confinement where he can enjoy 51 months of watching novelas on cable, play cards all day with his buddies, sleep and nap whenever he wants to, have a nice, comfortable bed to sleep in with sheets that are washed weekly, and be fed 3 meals per day -- all at the expense of American taxpayers. DON'T THE FEDS GET IT YET!!! The reason they keep coming back is because of all the luxuries that our prison system provides for them. When is the prison system going to catch on to what they are doing? Some of these men may be doing it on purpose to get away from family responsibilities. While they are locked up, they don't have to worry about going to work, looking for work, providing for their children/family. For this guy, I bet he is happy that for the next 51 months, he will be "vacationing" in the United States. I hope the FEDS open up their eyes and realize they they are being taken for fools. What a shame. "
