Secure our borders first

Two cases which clearly illustrate that our out-of-control borders need to be put under some sort of reasonable control before there is any further talk of comprehensive immigration reform a total amnesty for illegal aliens already unlawfully residing here in America:

1.  An illegal immigrant from Guatemala who was deported eight years ago after serving a prison sentence (14 months.  Big whoop.) for sexually assaulting a girl who was under 13 in Ramsey County, Minnesota has been indicted by a federal grand jury in that very same state for the crime of "unlawful re-entry after removal".  Translation:  he's back, and out of an entire country of locations from which to choose he unbelievably returned right to where he previously committed his heinous crime against a young child.

2.  An illegal immigrant from Mexico who has been previously deported at least twice for felony convictions, one for sexually assaulting a minor in Washington state, has been apprehended in Yuma, Arizona after being caught in this country once again.

Are all people unlawfully present in America violent felons?  Of course not.  But a significant percentage of them are in fact dangerous criminals who prey on innocent citizens, and we need to shut off the open spigot that infuriatingly allows low-lifes like these two to simply turn right around and reenter this country after being booted from it before there can be any discussion of altering our nation's current immigration policies.

Like I say, if you have a leaky pipe, do you turn off the supply first or do you grab a mop?
