Lock up immigrant criminals
Through the years, many Mexicans have crossed the border illegally, many working, creating a life for themselves and being good citizens.
Many have had children who today serve in the military or have some position where they serve the interests that help this country.
At the same time, we see some who have committed crimes, been deported several times and some who have murdered after being deported.
It is one thing to be compassionate and another to be stupid and irresponsible. We need to lock up those who commit crimes and punish them here in the U.S., so that others may realize we will not tolerate such criminals in this country.
