The unintended consequence of your caveat is to create a win win for illegal aliens. If they decide they want to stay they serve. Other wise they get a vacation home. What do you do the second time you catch the same person? Deport them again, service, prison, thirty lashes witha wet noodle? The beauty of my idea is that there are no excuses, no alternatives. If you do not want to serve the US, then stay out of the country. Illegal entry would assume a contractual obligation to serve the government. Appeals being only allowed after service starts would ensure that you don't end up with as many people gaming the system for various reasons. "What I was attempting to add was the concept of assumed agreement. If an undocumented alien was discovered they would be assumed to agree to serving our country. (Like the EULA you have to agree to, to use any software.) Objections would clog the legal system. Normally they would fight it for five years with the assistance of the ACLU. Instead make them start service before they could contest their service. If it took them five years, they would be done. It is a Catch-22, and some of them would not bother objecting. The knowledge that they might be done before their case was finished would dampen the enthusiasm to obstruct the process." Actually, I agree with you, but with my one caveat. If you enter illegally & are caught you are immediately given two choices. Do your service time right now or be immediately deported as per the scenario described in the blog entry. And there are zero court appeals too. You are either here legally or you are not. All they need to do is present their papers & check them against the system. No excuses. No appeals. No BS.
