#2 So, we are at fault for deporting illegal immigrants with criminal records that want to do crime within our borders. Of course, the internet is at fault to because it is an American invention filled with free speech and pr0n and the UN should have control of it.
Gee, I must be evil because I find that I rather like things the way they are and would like to see more illegals and imigrants with criminal records go bye-bye.

#3 The United States has unwittingly spurred this phenomenon by deporting tens of thousands of immigrants with criminal records each year.

Lemme get this straight.

People come to the US, and commit crimes. They get booted out, then commit crimes back where they come from.

Now, I think it's safe to say that MOST of the people booted out of the US for crimes are here illegally. So even if they never committed a crime back home, they committed crimes to get here. And, to me, that suggests that maybe their homeland didn't exactly instill a sense of law and order to them. So just how the hell is this our problem? Is the US supposed to be the world's penal colony?

(OK, since the UN is based here, I can see how people get that impression.)

Maybe what we should do, in order to save the world from its own criminals, is simply execute any illegal convicted of a crime within the US. And maybe we should simply bar Internet traffic from some countries from entering our borders, to keep the international gangs from "staking out turf".

Heck, let's take that a step further, and block traffic from countries that want to regulate what (legal content) gets posted on the 'net. China, Saudi Arabia, France, Canada -- sorry, you can't take part in the information economy anymore.

#5 ...and I'm sure if these folks that Andrew V. Papachristos is so concerned about came back to hang out in his neighborhood, he'd want the 101st Airborne called in to send them to hell.
