Fixing America – Deporting Criminals

Who among us does not feel like America is in it’s last days and under siege from within?  I sure do and I’ve about had enough…check this out:

According to the DOJ there are currently 1.4 million gang members in the US.   Every year we’re spending roughly $2 billion to house then deport 400,000 illegals and it’s assumed a far larger number enter and escape detection.   2,266,800 adults were incarcerated in U.S. federal and state prisons, and county jails at year-end 2010 and twice that many are on parole and probation.  Ten years ago the number jailed to be deported was about 3,300, but in the last 15 years we’ve seen a 40% increase in the prison population and about 27% of that number are illegal aliens who have committed serious felonies.   We spend $37 billion a year on prisons and that breaks down to about $28,284 per prisoner.  You could send a kid to a good college for that kind of money!

Our inner-cities are like the canaries in the coal mine.

If you just look at the government stats you get a pretty strong sense that we’re failing and our cities are becoming too dangerous.   City-wide crime and victimization has never been more rampant.   The UNODC says the US homicide rate is 4.6 per 100k population, but right next door Canada has a homicide rate of 1.6.   Europe is 3.5 and this includes some pretty seedy countries.   Something in America is going seriously wrong and it’s costing us more than we can afford!

As our resources dwindle supporting a million and half long term prisoners and keeping up a costly justice system, our crime riddled neighborhoods are only getting worse and this taxes the system more each passing year.   Despite their failures our leaders still keep doing the same old things to fix the problem and worse, they force us to pour billions into their monuments of stupidity and waste (aka dysfunctional government programs).   This needs to stop now and we need to think more creatively.

Which brings up my first thought, what makes criminals so special that we should allow them to stay here… on our dime?  Answer..they are not special and we don’t have to put up with their drag on society – not anymore.

Solution:  Deportation!

Why not?   It’s legal…we need to consider this a viable alternative to housing criminals.   Deportation will send a message that if you engage in activities that make you an intolerable  [burden] on society we will send you away and you can’t come back.   Once deported and over there (wherever it is) whatever happens to you is not our problem, it’s all on you!  You can sink or swim, we don’t care, but just remember one thing…you did it to yourself.  And when you are working your butt off to survive you will have plenty of time to think of what you left behind.  We can only hope your experience will serve as a warning to others, but if not, we’ve got plenty of one way tickets!

In practical terms it would be no great feat to arrange deportation with any number of poor nations far from our shores.  They need our money and they could use the labor.

Imagine, how much better off this country would be without a million hardcore predators committing millions of violent crimes each year here while potentially breeding more to grow up just like ol Dad.

Imagine, if we had started doing this a 150 years ago!  Think how much better off we would be today and how empty our prisons would be and how many of us would have been spared from being victims and great our schools would be.

This is perhaps the most economical way to deal with the incorrigibles that are destroying our country and draining our wealth.    What do you think?
