This law is more of a deterrent than to actually put illegal immigrants who commit felonies or three misdemeanors behind bars if they are deported and cross back into the United States.

If this law isn't worth just one life saved then you should be for the death penalty.

I'm not for the death penalty, basically for the same reason I am not in favor of Kate's law.

I doubt many of the few Spanish speaking immigrants trapped by this law will understand it as a deterrant. Most will be unaware of it.

A law forbidding the sale of skateboards might save one life.
Whether a law saves one life is not the best way to measure it. We can't know if it will save a life. We can know that it will ruin the lives of people who are just trying to feed their families.
