Does it make sense to prosecute illegal aliens?

Question

1. Do you think it makes sense for the USA to prosecute illegal aliens crossing the border. Putting them in jail probably costs a lot more money compared to if we just sent them back even if they do keep coming back.Even if they live in the USA they at least work for their money and it isn't just given to them for nothing.
2. Also, what if the USA got Mex. to grow corn for us to use in ethanol to get us to start using it and eventually we could make it ourselves. This would give mexicans jobs and they might stop crossing our border. It wouldn't decrease our economy any b/c we would stop buying oil from other countries.-I'm not at all sure this would actually work.
3. How important will immigration be to you in the next election?

Answer 1

1. No, it does not.
2. The USA can grow its own corn.
3. It is very important. This migration needs to be stopped.

Answer 2

my solution: snipers!
