THE RIGHT OF APPEAL FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SHOULD ONLY BE GRANTED FROM THEIR OWN COUNTRY. AND THE FEE FOR ANY APPEAL BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SHOULD BE RAISED TO $50,000. IT IS TIME THAT THESE SNEAKING LAWBREAKERS PAY FOR THEIR APPEALS. THE AMERICAN TAXPAEYRS WHO HAVE NO JOBS, NO HOMES AND NO MEDICAL INSURANCE ARE TIRED OF FOOTING THE BILL FOR THESE LEECHES.
