So, if they are deported to Mexico, how long does it take for them to come back? Two, three days?

I’ll bet they never say a word about who hired them. Good way to get dead.

The speed of this case is truly unheard of: 14 days from arrest, to plea, and onto prison.
Wow. Now, that’s unusual.

After prison they will have an INS hearing. Then put on a bus and taken across the border. If the bus leaves on time at 9am. And they have family or friends wire money to a banco on the border. They can buy a SS card and drivers lic. For 20 bucks and be back in the US for Dinner!

And if our policies hadn’t made economic opportunities so grim in Mexico, they’d never have left their families to come here in the first place.

What policies are you talking about? The US doesn’t have a foreign policy with Mexico. Before president Fox, The country was run by the same lame family for over a hundred years. The day mexico switches from the pasco to the dollar as its reserve currency. They will stop coming!
