Deportation flights cost $51 million

TUCSON, Arizona – The U.S. government has spent more than $51 million over the past four summers flying nearly 64,000 illegal immigrants back to the Mexican interior after they were caught crossing the border.
The flights are aimed at reducing the chances of immigrants recrossing the border by flying them to Mexico City, rather than busing them back to the Mexican border where they are susceptible to smugglers awaiting them with offers to try again. Illegal immigrants from countries other than Mexico can’t take the flights.
But the Arizona Daily Star reported Sunday that critics said the program hasn’t made a substantial difference in lessening smuggling or the number of deaths that occur as immigrants sneak across the border.
In the 362 days the voluntary flights were offered during 2004-2007, the bodies of 342 illegal immigrants were discovered along Arizona’s stretch of the U.S-Mexico border — nearly one per day, southern Arizona medical examiners’ records show.

I have a simple solution, some folks don’t like the idea, some folks call it *hate speech*, some folks call it murder, personally, I call it self preservation.
Man the borders, do a roundup, don’t fly em anywhere, march em to the border and shew em back over the border, point em SOUTH and say “Adios mi amigo, lleve su asno y no se vuelva”, and if they DO comeback and try to cross the border again, SHOOT EM!
According to the story, these flights exist because we’re worried about the safety of these ILLEGAL INVADERS, worried about the safety of those that come here ILLEGALLY, and even if they don’t rob, rape, steal or become involved in drugs and gangs, they STILL place a tremendous strain on the economy and tax base of the American worker, the LEGAL American workers, the folks that keep this nation fed, funded and running.
U.S. officials consider it money well spent because it keeps those who take the flights safe.
“It saves the taxpayers money and addresses a very critical life-safety issue for individuals who are out in the desert in these very dangerous months,” Nantel said.
No, all this proves is that the USA is taking the welfare of ILLEGAL INVADERS more seriously than the personal safety and well-being of her own citizens.
That is NOT an acceptable proposition, not in MY opinion, but I guess it’s one that we’re going to have to learn to tolerate. Given the 2 asshats running for POTUS, the libtard left that supports everything that hurts the USA, and the self proclaimed Conservative bleeding hearts that think I’m a vile and radical extremist, we’re not going to have a lot of *other* choices.
Well, we DO have a couple of other choices, but I truly hate to contemplate the ramifications the implementation of those solutions would bring on all of us.
The last few days, seeing how things are happening in a border state other than Texas has not done one thing to change my mind, the invasion is everywhere, and ALL Americans are either suffering from it or are not too far from that point.
Some are a bit more insulated from it because of the *pricey* neighborhoods they live in, but that won’t stop the invasion for too much longer, the ILLEGALS will take what they want, and why not? The people that will let them take it are the ones that cry *but they’re only poor immigrants trying to better themselves*.
When the faux intellectuals and wannabe Conservatives wake up and find their new neighbors *tagging* their new barrio, the cries of shock and indignation will be raucous! And their efforts to protect themselves, and their insular lives, will be far too little and far too late.
I had a plan that involved rounding them up, packing them into C-130’s, flying them over Mexico City and dropping them off from 30,000 ft.
Then I got called a racist so I modified it a bit:
Round them up, pack them into C-130’s, fly them over Mexico City and drop them from 30,000 ft. WITH NO PARACHUTE!
Then I got called a hatemonger so I modified it a little more:
Round them up, pack them into C-130’s, fly them over Mexico City and drop them from 30,000 ft. WITH NO PARACHUTE! and light every fifth one on fire to ensure the accuracy of the drop.
Anyone want to call me something else?
The fact of the matter is WE are frustrated with the lack of compassion for US. We are pissed that our elected officials are very ready to call on US to make sacrifices in education, jobs, infrastructure, health-care and CRIME in order to absorb the invasion. We have done it in the past, and the border is still WIDE OPEN. THE BORDER needs to be sealed and until it is there will be no discussion around the MILLIONS of Illegals in our country! Get em out NOW!
Damn Fred, this is pure guv ment BS for sure. I can’t believe we are spending that kind of money flying illegals back to Mexico!!! During my career in Naval Aviation, I remember numerous times when our squadron ran out of money to fly our aircraft or even order parts to fix them!!! Have to wait till next quarter was always to word!! And here we are wasting big money on criminals who are sucking are economy dry and destroying our way of life.
Fred, you are right on the money about people who are “blind” to the situation will wake up when the gangs appear in their neighborhoods!!
@Fred
I blog from the Dominican Republic where I have lived for about 6 years. You would like the way they repatriate illegal Haitians. Sometimes when they feel like cracking down they ask for ID. If the individual cannot produce any, they are told to get on the back of the truck. Then they drive west to the border and tell them to start walking.
Interestingly, the U.S. has deported over 30,000 Dominicans in less than a decade. So many that a chartered plane lands every Wednesday with fresh deportees. It’s a free ride home but getting from here to there is a hell of a lot harder than just waltzing in from Mexico, or Haitians who just walk East until they hit the DR.

Rob, one more time of calling you, me or any of our friends racsits and other names over this and the troll is going to see things on the net he doesn’t want to see…
I have nearly ALL of it now and will place the topper on the cake in the AM…
@ Robert Ok, so what was the problem with your plan? Seems reasonable to me.
Kate said, “Why yes, I AM a racist!!”
Yeah yeah….whatever.
LMAO
Flying them!!! Why the hell fly them? Put them on old school buses and buss them back to Mexico.
BobF, we can get a bunch of buses from New Orleans, they won’t use em to save their own people, maybe the USA can use em to deport those that aren’t our own…
