I say we pretend to give the illegals amnesty

and then, in a giant sting operation, we arrest them and throw them back over the border. We do sting operations for wanted American criminals all the time. We pretend they won something and when they show up to claim it we arrest their asses. Why don't we give amnesty to the American criminals too while we are at it, it's only fair. Why are we penalizing American citizens but not foreign law breakers? I just don't get it. Help me out here people.
