We have the death penalty in this country but we seldom use it. Why? It is on
the books to convince people that murdering another person is NOT a good
thing. Instead we just wind up threatening these people with “death” and
keeping them, feeding them, caring for them (their health) and unless the
prisoner asks for his sentence to be carried out…we just wind up taking
care of them for years and years. I say let’s start using that gurney in the
prison for it’s intended purpose. Bye Bye bad guy.
We need to BUILD THE WALL and TIGHTEN our border before even more lives are
tragically lost! SEALED BORDERS SAVE LIVES!
This is the kind of people that are crossing the border illegally.
Finally some good police work, go get them guys!
