To stop illegals you need to do two things: 1) Heavily fine and/or close down businesses (for 90+ days) that hire illegals. 2) Do not give illegals and free public benefits (welfare, food stamps, public housing, etc) That'll give illegals zero incentive to come here.

Photo shows an old man. Hasn't seen his own country in 36 years and has been illegally residing in another country all this time. Sounds like he abandoned his family, his culture, his homeland. Was he a wanted criminal there? No matter. My question for Kate Morrissey of the Union-Tribune is: Whose fault is it that he hasn't seen his country in 36 years? And what relevance does it have to anything at all?
Further down in the article we find out he has a "history of drug and weapons offenses". Hm. Whose fault is this, Ms. Morrissey? Is it Trump's fault that this individual came here illegally, committed serious felonies involving weapons and drugs which damage our society and hurt people? Is it Trump's fault he did this? Is it Pepe who made him do these things? Or was he protected and enabled by the likes of you, Ms. Morrissey of the Union-Tribune? Ms. Morrissey, are you a defender and facilitator of violent crimes against innocent people? Yes you are Ms. Morrissey, yes you are.
Sotomayor is going back to Cuba, the land of his birth. Fidel is dead. Cuba's a nicer place than it was when he left. But I've got some advice for him. Cuba doesn't like drug and weapons dealers and is very intolerant towards dangerous violent felons like himself. He better get his act together. This is his last chance. No doubt going back to Cuba will be good for him since the US has failed somehow to make an honest man of him. However, given his sassy belligerent entitled attitude I am pretty sure he'll screw up shortly and be facing a firing squad or prison cell down there before too long. Hey too bad he couldn't have simply avoided becoming a violent convicted felon after illegally emigrating to the US. That's all he had to do and he'd have been a low priority. But no. He couldn't manage that.

'Makes sense because even though financing the wall was taken off the table during the last budget because President Trump wanted to priorities budget for military replenishment, President Trump did negotiate for the number of ICE agents and the number of ICE prison cells to be doubled... so the rate of deportations could skyrocket.

I love the writer playing dumb like she can't understand why anyone would want these poor people with felony weapons and drug convictions to go back to their home countries.
