Weed out the ones the Border Patrol have documented in their system as crossing more than one time and deport them back again and if need be put in jail.
I don't see a reason for the people I support to be deported back. Have law enforcement document them, confirm their residences, and if need be, assign them case workers to make sure they are living by rules which I'm sure they would still be since they have been here a long time with no other instances of crime.
