IMO, they need to bring back public hangings, like back in the day in the west, for drug dealers & smugglers, and those on the terrorism list than sneak into the country.
With more people dying from fentanyl & meth each month than all those killed in the VN, Iraq & Afghanistan Wars combines (each Month), and the News reporting that 50% of the drug dealers are illegals building the gallows & keeping them busy with television coverage would have a telling effect on the crime rates IMO.
For something more humane bring back firing squads. Quick & more "green" than electrocution & meds.
For places on the coast they could use C-130's to take them out over the ocean a few miles & pop them off the ramp at a couple thousands feet.
Also, they need to bring back road chain gangs to do highway cleaning and other public works. If someone makes a run then drop them as they run, and/or take them to a zoo & drop into the Griz bear, lion & tiger enclosures with gravy poured over their head.
If some want to work off their sentence send them to disaster areas to work on recovery efforts.
The donkeys have coddled & condoned criminals & their activity for too long, while disparaging the LEOs.
