Let them deport themselves
Great line by Brad Krantz this morning in response to illegal immigrants on a charter bus to Mexico detained by ICE agents in Alamance County:
"They were deporting themselves."
Good point. The bus should have been given an escort all the way across the border.
Instead, as Ryan Seals reported:
"The detainees were processed and issued notices to appear before an immigration judge before being released on their own recognizance until their court dates," an ICE spokeswoman said.
Meaning, if they are ever deported, it's going to take a lot of time and cost a lot of tax money to do it.

Do you really believe these people are going to stick around for a court date! If you do then I have some Alaskan Uranium stock I need to talk to you about! Beau

Of course not. But if they want a bus ride across the Rio Grande, we should buy the ticket.

Mr. Clark, would I be wrong in thinking your paper ,was all for giving these ILLEGALS, free college at the taxpayer expense? You call it in state tuition. In real life it FREE! Let say I live in Va. I served 6 years in the military, and paid tons of taxes in my years. Still pay at retirement. If my children, want to go to a NC college that would pay out of state tuition. Very high! Well that's exactly what happen to me in reverse, my children had to go to Virginia colleges. you can not fill up the available spaces with so call poor people and illegals, that removes the spots for working class people. If your paper had any character, they go after Lancaster, like a cat on a mouse. We spend mega bucks of taxpayers money at UNC, to teach the ILLEGALS how to rip off the taxpayers. Not a secret , just not told the main stream media. B Jackson, the state lets these people go after they are in a wreck,driving drunk. A few hours in jail, and off and running. And never no car insurance, you try that. I have complained over this for years, the answer I get is we can not keep up with them. If I get a answer at all! Amazing they can find a cow with mad cow disease in Canada, and the state of NC can not find 5 million ILLEGALS. In my opinion it all about the vote. Why do you think this paper and all liberals, were against voter ID cards.

Doug............this is fine with me but there also needs to be a punishment attached. Finger print them and get them into a data base and if they are ever caught in this country again they go to jail.

Beau,
I would be OK with fingerprinting.
Doug J,
We've revised our position on that issue.
