Illegal immigrants need to be punished

I feel that it was handled all wrong, with the 19 illegals detained, from the Agriprocessors raid (by federal immigration agents). Instead of just taking off the GPS locator, they should have been deported.

If they had children, while here, they should have been taken away, and put up for adoption. After all, even though they don't see it as breaking the law, and that they were wrong, they still broke the law. Why should they go unpunished?

Then if they come back illegal again, again the child gets put up for adoption, and they get deported again, with one more punishment, they get sterilized, both parents. After all, right now they get to stay if they have children, so they get rewarded for having kids, and they get their wish to be here.

We have to stop rewarding them, and start punishing them. I am sure that no other country would reward them for having kids, born in their borders. Why should we?
