Schwarzenegger: Send prisoners to Mexico

[Twoller]

That's actually not a bad idea. But keeping prisoners is a legal issue and the law in Mexico is the weak part of their prison system. The prison's are corrupt, just like the police and government are corrupt. How could we build prisons there and isolate them from the rot?

The threat of prison in the US doesn't scare the worse of illegal aliens who would just as likely find themselves in Mexican prisons which are bound to be a lot worse than US jails. And it could be illegals in US prisons still have a shot at remaining illegally in the country when they get out. But if they were in jail in Mexico, this would not be as likely.

But how enthusiastic is Mexico going to be hosting prisons for people that Mexico says should be allowed more freedom to live in the US? We could not hope to ship illegals to jail in Mexico just for being illegals.
