Send someone to inspect the job and drop short 2x2s in all the plumbing vents. Not much satisfaction but they'll be chasing gurgling pipes, slow drains and stuff for some time. This is the story I heard in the bad old days when the checks might not clear and you had to race other subs to the bank. You couldn't make money in jail so you left them with some memories.

What is her address? I 100% would burn her house down with her locked inside.

It is beyond denial to think that one of the main objectives of the Biden administration was not to encourage, allow, and even assist as many illegals as possible to enter this country. Same immigration laws under Trump 1 as Biden and now, under Trump 2 but yet look at the number of crossings during each of those different administrations. Trump 1, one of the lowest numbers of crossings....Trump 2, the lowest....and Biden, right smack dab in the middle, the most unsecure border in our history with the record number of illegal crossings....all with the same immigration laws.
Biden's messaging to the world was clear and the world received it. He ended all of Trump's executive orders securing the border. He flew illegals into the country. He bused them throughout the county when they walked in. He had Mayorkas repeat ad nauseum that the border was secure while millions poured in. I mean let's face it, there is nothing to indicate that the Biden administration wanted anything other than for them to come. And they spent a massive amount of effort and money achieving that goal.
Why?

Very little of your post is correct:
1. Trump did not reduce illegal immigration in his first term. If you don't trust me, maybe you'll trust this extremely conservative think tank
2. Biden did not end "all of" Trump's executive orders. First, he retained the pandemic related order until the pandemic was over. Second, federal courts ended Trump 1.0's executive orders because they were unlawful. Third, he created the app that allowed people to "check in" with ICE well in advance, to alleviate congestion at the border.
3. Border security is not the same thing as asylum seekers. I don't know what you think "the border" is, so I'll explain it. People go to a port of entry where they claim asylum upon first contact with an immigration officer. They get a court date and are then allowed into the country in order to make that court date. This is what the law requires. Well, it turns out the court dates are being scheduled really far out -- years upon years -- because there are not nearly enough ILJs. That was a problem that the bipartisan bill tried to solve, until Trump killed it.
Under Obama, Trump, and Biden, very few people crossed the border in any insecure way. Virtually everyone was interviewed, vetted and given a court date. That's just a fact.
Millions of people coming in does not mean the border is insecure.
4. The reason that migrants are not still coming? Two reasons: first, conditions have improved in the central American countries from where people were coming. Most of the people needing asylum have arrived. Second, Trump is literally scaring people into not coming here. That's not a good thing. We've become a bad, bad country. It's the same way that no Jews were trying to get into Nazi Germany.
Maybe you think brown people or Spanish speaking people (or whoever you think is coming) should not have human rights. That's literally the only explanation for this particular view on your part.
5. Actually, the busing was done by the states, certainly at first. The red states.
6. Nobody "wants" illegal immigrants to come here. You are hung up on this because Fox News tells it to you, but there are no actual incentives for any administration to "want" them. Like all rule-of-law people, I want them to be able to come here if they meet the statutory admission criteria, for many reasons -- one of which is that we obliged ourselves to do so when we drafted and signed and evangelized the Geneva Convention and the Convention Against Torture. I happen to think that America's reputation is important to our well-being.
7. All immigrants are good for the country. Illegal immigrants bring tremendous economic benefits, and their children even more so. Their crime rates are lower than native borns. They do jobs that otherwise don't get done -- note that one reason for increased agriculture costs (fruits and vegetables had 48% annual inflation in January!) is the scarcity of labor.

Why do you have such a problem with people coming here in the first place? And don't say because they are violent criminals because the large majority of them are not. The huge majority of the ones that ICE have deported don't even have a criminal record.
