Illegal immigrants need bus tickets home

Regarding recent pictures and stories in The Gazette about the immigrants from the closed Postville plant: These people were complaining of having to wear ankle bracelets so we can keep track of them.
Now I don't want to sound anti-immigration but I am anti-illegal immigration. Our grandparents were immigrants but they did it legal.
If it's so bad here that the church was collecting all this money to support them, maybe a bus ticket home would make them happy. I'm sure America would be happy too.
