RSSU.S. Border Patrol may have to rein in its zero-tolerance plan

The U.S. Border Patrol’s zero-tolerance program — which dictates jail time for all illegal border crossers — may end up being a partial-tolerance operation in Arizona due to a lack of prison space, attorneys, law enforcement officers and judges. The agency is hoping to launch Operation Streamline in January along an undisclosed designated stretch of the border by selecting 100 people a day for prosecution and jail time. Under the program, illegal entrants face 15 to 180 days in jail even if it is their first arrest. The 100 people a day would represent about 10 percent of the average number of daily apprehensions made across the 262 miles of border in the agency’s Tucson Sector, the Southwest border’s busiest stretch.

GOD! You whiney assed liberals need to get a grip!
The answer is not stop enforcing the laws which we all know would give you orgasms, but rather build more prisons. The illegals can build them. What are they going to do once they are captured? And if they don’t want to build them let them sleep under the stars. Guarantee you they will be built right quick.
Barring that solution, just stack them 10 deep in a cell. Maybe that will discourage them.
