On average, we arrest anywhere from 40k to 70k people per month. Oddly enough, since Trump's new "zero tolerance" policy, illegal immigration is up in the past three months.
This "zero tolerance" policy is not preventing people from coming here illegally, and only is going to cost us A LOT more money and resources.

Mine and your tax dollars that we worked hard for is paying for these people who are coming here illegally. If you do not see a issue with that i do not know what to say to you.
ICE estimates an average stay of 44 days. "The DHS projects there will be an average of 51,379 people held in immigration detention centers each day in fiscal 2018, a sizable jump from the last few years, which have hovered near the low 30,000s"

Yes! Now that we have to detain them A LOT longer so we can "sentence them to time served and a $10 fine".... It going to make these illegals stay in the US much longer, and it's going to cost A LOT more money and effort.
There is no reason to do what we are doing. This "zero tolerance" policy is not stopping people from coming here, it's going to cause people to be here much longer, and it's going to cost us much more to house them longer, feed them longer, clothe them long, and give them free healthcare longer.
Arrest them and send them home immediately.
