Amen, Smurfy. Pepperpoo seems upset that our jails can't hold all the criminals we'd like them to hold. It would be easier if we didn't have to include illegals in the count, but maybe pepperpoo would like to pick and choose what "illegal" is. At least our citizen criminals paid some kind of taxes during their lifetime before incarceration -- and think of all the people that white-collar criminal may have employed (ie: taxpayers) before they got busted. It's still expensive, but at least it's not a total loss. Seal the borders, move out the illiegals and their families, enforce the laws we already have. www.Bullmooseamerica.com
