and hmm... what are the odds that someone's going to pay 5k as a fine when they are already here and more or less integrated? I treid to emigrate to canada and/or ireland and lt me tell you.. canada's a beeyotch... ireland (when I was looking anyway) wasn't so bad, but they were dealing with a bad emigration problem at the time.. nowadays? dunno. I was willing to go thru the proper channels... then again.. my life here isn't so bad... in a few more years I may try again...

on the above note, yeah... sorry... the 'american way' is not supposed to be deception etc. (yeah yeah yeah.. i know... but it's the ideal that we are dealing with. not the reality). I think that if you are here illegally, yes. you ought to be deported and billed for the transit costs... heh.. then again if you can't bill someone for medical costs (with the evil machine that that is) then.. well... the above is kinda moot.. huh?.. or for being able to find someone after they have committed vehicular manslaughter.. heh... suppose it's asking too much to ask them to pay the bill...then again I think I need a nap since I've been doing a job most americans don't want to do all day.
