Shielding Reinforce Crimes

This next argument may have already been cited in the previous paragraph but I wish to put more emphasis, to explore, and to build on this point. By shielding serious crime offenders, they become more confident when committing crimes because they know that they will not be deported. This is the time when more than ever we need tougher rules, not crime-reinforcing actions. Knowing that a threat of deportation awaits criminal offenders, we believe that this would result to lower crimes. Tougher deportation rules end the very pull factors that resulted to illegal immigration. This move can hit two birds with one stone. Firstly, it is expected to reduce crime rates committed by young illegal immigrants and secondly, it helps deal with the problem of illegal immigration by and large.

Shielding: A Misappropriation of Public Funds

We also believe that shielding is a misappropriation of the taxpayer's funds. The probation department's action to fly these young felons home and later on putting them in group homes, all at taxpayers' expense is problematic at many levels. Our public officials are at oath to guard our welfare. Our public officials are set to use our funds only for these purposes. It has already been established that crimes committed by young illegal immigrants is, as common sense would put it, detrimental to the welfare of the citizens. Hence, we see no legitimate need to use public funds in shielding these offenders. In fact, what we need is to subject their crimes to our state laws....

This is when the move towards deportation makes more sense, is more practical, and in the long run, is more beneficial because in deportation, the expenses will not be shouldered by San Francisco's taxpaying citizens.
But this is not to say that we do not account the juvenile factor of this issue. On this side of the debate, we believe that there exists a need for tougher actions and policies in dealing with crimes in general. In this case, we are dealing with young offenders. Hence, we propose that the city has an obligation to teach and realign the values of offenders. Consequently, the city should put juvenile delinquents in appropriate centers and after finishing their terms, they should be deported. At the end of the day, what we will realize is that crimes committed by young illegal immigrants is just an offshoot created by the more fundamental problem which is structural in its very nature, i.e. that what we really need are tougher and stricter rules regarding our immigration policies - this is when deportation finds its strength as a solution to the argument.
