#1 So without court capacity it's just a bigger catch and release program. There is a different solution but I am sure it won't even be considered - shoot first, arrest later.

#3 Routine border violations need not be a judicial issue. It could be defined as an administrative issue and thus handled by the executive branch without burdening the courts.

To whit: an illegal alien, stopped and identified as such, could be deported without recourse to the courts. Obviously some safeguard is needed to prevent American citizens and legal aliens from being deported, but that again could be an executive function, not a judicial one.

#4 Doc, do you really trust the current administration enough to allow them that kind of authority? Do you really believe they would actually do something to end illegal immigration? Do you think they won't find a way to screw everything up, force the courts to a halt, and do everything in their power to see that this is all smoke and mirrors, with no substance?

I don't, either.

#5 Good point, but I figure the current administration can control ICE about as well as the last one. If ICE wants to do it, they'll do it.
