Are Labor Camps a bad idea?
Arizona lawmakers Senator John McCain and U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe criticized a fellow Republican Friday (June 23rd) who's running for governor for saying he thinks illegal immigrants should be held in camps and used as labor to construct a wall along the southern border and, quote, "clean the areas of the Arizona desert they're polluting." Don Goldwater, nephew of the late Senator Barry Goldwater -- a conservative Republican icon -- complained that his comments were taken out of context. He said he was calling for a work program for convicted nonviolent felons similar to what's done in state and local jails. However, McCain and Kolbe called Goldwater's comments, quote, "deeply offensive," and called on state Republicans not to vote for him in the September GOP primary.
What do you think of Goldwater wanting to set up camps for illegal immigrants and use them as labor to build a border wall and clean the desert?

One question no one seems too interested in answering is whether or not this would be a mandatory sentencing for illegals who were discovered or if they had a choice between working or being sent back home.
If this was a forced sentence then I'm disturbed an American would suggest this. Right-wing conservatives get uptight about films like V for Vendetta which portray conservatives as neo-Nazis and yet they support actions like these?
Even if this were one of two (or more) options for discovered illegals, I still take issue on it because of how quickly the ones who desire to deport all illegals want to put them to work.
