That is even easier. If you are an illegal and caught in the US, by any method, you are shipped to the border and dropped there. No more nice plane rides to whatever airport you like. No more catch and release policies just because they havent been convicted of a violent crime here in the US. Simply lock them up until the bus is full then bus them to the nearest border where they are handed over to the Mexican border police. Any property they have here is auctioned off to pay for their detention and bus trip.

So we end up right where we are now. The states being forced to fend for themselves by fed inaction, but when they try to fend for themselves, they are attacked by the feds. Sounds to me like AZ is taking the right approach. I said earlier in this thread, I really dont believe Brewer really cares about this law. I think it was more of a wakeup call to Washington. No matter what happens with this law the feds are going to be forced to act in some way. If they work to secure the border AZ wins because ti will slow the flood of illegals into the state. If they dont work on securing the border, GOP wins a major national security victory politically. Its a win/win for AZ as long as it is in GOP hands.
