Wow! giving the man 2 1/2 years and telling him never to come back to the United States ought to work really good. None of Mexico's criminals have ever re-entered the U.S. and victimized citizens here after they were deported and told not to come back. How about something significant, like say a 40-year sentence. not only would it keep the man from victimizing U.S. citizens for forty years, it would be a good example to the other coyotes out there. I remember an old public info commercial sponsored by the anti-drug people in this country that warned kids who were traveling abroad that in foreign countries, you spend a lot of time in jail if caught with drugs. Shouldn't we be sending the same message to Mexico and it's potential human smugglers (or drug smugglers for that matter) that in the U.S. we play for keeps.
Seems the court/judge is telling use that illegal Mexican lives are only worth a couple months jail time each. Lets see 14 dead, 24 months for the deaths plus 6 for transporting them. That works out to about 10 weeks prison for each illegal. WOnder if the jail time would have been higher if they were not illegals sneaking in. Lets hope some higher judges gives this guy the YEARS he really should have been setenced to.
