Enry Iggins beat me to the deportment, but also: caterwauling.

Actually, these somewhat less than legals should be subject to "deportment." Practicing the finer points of the social graces never hurt anyone. Learning to pour tea gracefully, for example, could only add to their quality of life. And the lines of illegals marching about City Hall with books on their heads to improve their posture might lend a more graceful note to the Civic Center. However should they fail to improve their overall deportment they would, of course, be subject to deportation proceedings. But hey, they could keep the white gloves as a parting gift!

the whole sanctuary concept, if i'm not mistaken, was put in place to help people that were facing serious reprecussions from sandanistas or death squads or some such in the 80's in el salvador? i think there's a big difference in trying to buck the federal system to help out the politically oppressed than there is with, you know, giving 17 year old thugs a slap on the wrist and $6000 a month summer camp trips. ramos' family was incapable of raising him to understand that assaulting pregnant women was not cool, only an idiot would think that same family is going to be capable of putting him on the straight and narrow after he finds out that the punishment is basically nothing. they even say "these kids are vulnerable to exploitation by known criminals" so why do they think keeping them here in the city with those criminals is going to help? it's almost hard to believe there are even 15 people in this city who can't see that there's something wrong here, much less ones who are actually part of the government that is supposed to protect it's citizens.. an i'm not into some anti-immigration scene, i could care less about immigrants illegal or otherwise, it's the ones that are committing crimes that concern me. maybe these guys need to publicize some feel-good success stories about downtrodden murderers who turned their lives around and became beacons of the community after getting 'culturally appropriate counseling' to convince me otherwise.

I thought this came to a head before that when we sent those juvenile drug dealers down south and they "escaped" from the unlocked halfway house they were in while we tried to get things together to ship them back home. Y'know, because otherwise these drugs dealers would never be allowed to re-enter the US if they were just deported properly.
