Bounty Hunters needed on Mexican border

I have a wonderful way to solve our problem of illegal immigration across the U.S. and Mexican border. Put a bounty on the heads of those crossing illegally.



I know most of you do not understand the utter determination it takes to be a bounty hunter, nor do you understand what drives most bounty hunter, but I can say one thing, you want illegal crossings stopped, put a dollar value on their heads, and watch the take downs begin.



I am not saying this would be a dead or alive bounty, but I am also not saying that we not allow the hunters from defending themselves. We already have bounty hunters going after illegals who have violated their immigration bonds all across the United States, so lets open the field up wider. Payment for active catches on our southern border. Make it worth my time, I would be there with a team in a minute flat. Open it up more that the hunters get to keep 50% of all funds found on the people, and a set rate for drugs turned in, and you would see amazing results. How good? I will tell you how good.



If you apply current data for bounty hunters capture rates to this problem, you could expect to see over 60% of all crossings stopped and captured. I am shooting low here to give some a chance. When I was working, I captured and closed cases at over a 95% rate. Give me the authorization of law to do this as a practice, and I know we, bounty hunters, would make the border patrol look like chumps in no time whatsoever.



Think I am wrong? Go call a Bail Bondsman, and ask them how long they could even stay in business if he only retained, oh, lets say, 20% of his skips while losing 80%? I bet his answer would be less then four months since most sates call their bond money at 90 days. Where I was from, we had 7 days to produce a body or cut a check. In the bail world, if a check bounces, your done! Unless you have a bona fide damn good reason for not having funds, it is good night for you. These debts will be paid, and you are owned by the surety company until all debts are settled, and almost all sureties will not let you write bonds to pay the debt, so you better get a day job, and a high paying one at that. Crab fishing anyone?



In the bail world, it is expected on average to have a 10% skip rate. Now, some are higher, and some are lower. It all comes down on how tight of a squeeze you have on that persons balls. And even then, you can take everything that person owns, plus everything that family owns, and they still run. That is when I got a phone call. As we always said, it isn't if we catch you, it is just a matter of when! The man who trained me in had chased a guy 7 years and caught him. He only lost those who died before he found them, and that was never of old age! I wish more people where like him, most troubles in our world wouldn't be around with his attitude.



All Congress would need to do is grant us Letters of Marque! I know many of my kind who would be rich in days with how good they are in tracking humans. Let a real man hunter loose and watch them move. It is like nothing else in the world.

There are real time, hard driving, no BS solutions to some problems that do not involve pork spending, ear marks, or lobbying. Why we do not allow more private solutions in situations like this make no sense.

Let Bounty Hunters patrol our borders, and you will see the tide turn.
