I see it pretty much the same way I see our border problem. Get rid of the illegals, immediatly stop them from crossing the border, then let's find out the underlying reasons they are leaving their countries for ours. For murders, have a very quick trial and appeal process then publically kill them. There is no sense in letting them live in prison, on my dime ,for the next lifetime or two.Originally Posted by Windwalker

That's the problem. That's the way it works now. The REAL solution is to bring up our children with the proper values and respect so that they don't have to be put to death. Think about the difference between PREVENTION and CURE.The DEATH PENALTY is a cure. What is the cost in terms of lives to reach that point? Teaching them to respect the right of others to live (as garranteed by our Constitution) regardless of race, creed, or color, might be considered a cure. How much could that reduce the cost in terms of human lives?
