Zero tolerance at the southern border

[Monello]

Perhaps if we did this decades ago, we wouldn't have the mess that we are currently experiencing. Glad someone decided to stop kicking the can.

[FONT=&quot]Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Friday ordered federal prosecutors to take a “zero tolerance policy” toward illegal immigrants nabbed at the U.S.-Mexico border, saying they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]U.S. attorneys in Arizona, New Mexico, southern California and southern and west Texas were told to prosecute every person Homeland Security officers and agents catch attempting to enter the U.S. illegally, “to the extent practicable.”[/FONT]

LOL, you people will fall for anything.

It's a civil, not criminal, offense, and "prosecuted to the fullest extent possible" doesn't really mean much.

But whatever charges your batteries is fine by me.

Seeing as the last HMFIC's idea was to give them a sandwich and a bottle of water before sending them on their way, anything's an improvement.

Zero tolerance. As it should be. If one wants the right to live in the USA, do it the right way, in order to earn that right.

Actually it can be either a criminal, civil, or both. The AG is directing that all illegal entries be treated under the criminal standard. First offense punishable by a fine plus up to 6 months in prison, subsequent offenses fine and up to 2 years in prison.

This was written about a hundred years ago,

THE EXPEDITIONARY PACK

This soldier life is quite a game.
From Washington an order came For five hundred Marines.
But twenty minutes' time, oh my!,
To pack and polish and stand by
To part for southern scenes.
Ten minutes now you have, to stack
An expeditionary pack,
And in your knapsack place it.
Then shine your buttons, spic and span,
For the 0. D's inspection, mail,
And unafraid then face it.
Your two pajama suits you fold
Twelve inches over all to huld.
Then pack three suits of underwear.
You stack this on your locker-box.
Then come Tour nice and clean-washed socks
On top of that, three pair.
Two 0. D. shirts you next slip in,
A pair of shoes goes in between.
Five minutes. You're still in the race).
You tie your shoes up with a string.
Your shoe brush is the very thing
To hold them there in place.
Two khaki t,rousers, nice and clean,
A khaki blouse you next put in,
And one pair of leggings go on top.
This whole stack now place in your sack,
The white goods boy, go to the back,
Next take your soap and razor-strop,
Your razor, towel, tooth-brush too,
Tobacco also, smoke and chew,
Oh, yes there's plenty time.
There is a pocket large enough
To hold all this and other stuff,
To comfort you in any clime.
Now shine your buttons, spic and span,
As quickly as you only can,
And stand by for inspection.
Two minutes later off you go
To give the spics in Mexico
A Springfield lead injection.

Just to add my IANAL $0.02

Possible and Practicable are no-no words in contracts specifically because they are up to interpretation by either party. Plenty of case law concerning the merits of "as soon as practicable" and "to the extent practicable" can be found with a couple of minutes of googling. Consensus seems to be that they basically mean the same as "reasonable", where reasonable is defined by industry standard or what a typical professional/expert in the field would consider reasonable.
