Detain unlawful entrants in prison, making them work to pay flights and prison.
This means people entering a country illegally would be held in prison, where they work to cover both their flight home and the prison costs. This approach discourages unlawful entry by making offenders responsible for the expenses of their detention and deportation.
I want this to happen to protect national borders, reduce taxpayer costs, and deter illegal entry. By making offenders pay for their own detention and return, it ensures fairness, lessens the burden on citizens, and upholds respect for immigration laws.
