The majority of prisoners are incarcerated because of voluntary acts.

Incarceration, however, is generally not a voluntary act.

However it is the end result of an illegal voluntary act.

As players are to baseball there is not one without the other.

It is the game that makes a person a player , and players must play for a game to be.

Where immagrants don't want to go , it is the lack of them that is the problem , the simplest solution to immagration therefore is odvious, lets trash this place untill they would all rather stay home.

That hardly makes it comparable to immigration. Will you next compare conscription to grocery shopping?

Does incarceration inherently follow immigration in your mind?

If you had, I probably wouldn't have needed to ask the question.

Yes, you're very clever.

 We are not really doing this?

What is it that makes this end of the trip so attractive?

Lots of Americans visit countries in Central and South America , but much fewer going south are seeking work.

AS our unemployment rattes rise our ileagal immagration problem shrinks , it is happening right now.

Unfortunately Americans seeking work in Mexico are going to face very tough barrier laws .

That the country is facing a rough spot hardly means the the solution is to ruin the country.

Illeagal immagration is down , because employment is more scarce.


Which problem is worse?

You can cure a rat infestation with a suffecient number of cats, but then you have too many cats.

You can cure a cat infestation with a suffecient number of dogs, but then you have too many dogs.
You can cure a dog infestation with a suffecient number of catsTigers, but then you have too many Tigers.

You can cure a Tiger  infestation with a suffecient number of Elephants, but then you have too many Elephants.

You can make the Elephants leave with a passel of rats , but then.....

So your point is that doing something is futile?

Of course not , you can't get perfection , but you can pick your problem.

I am going for the dogs myself.
