Letter: Swap the criminals for the dreamers

Two issues seem to dominate the news both on TV and in The Tribune. One involves the upsurge in illegal gang activity that has become a nagging problem in Utah. It seems to be particularly troublesome in Kearns and Ogden. The other issue, causing heartburn for conservatives, is what to do with the young undocumented immigrants who were brought to America by their parents when they were too young to remember much, if anything, about the country from which they came.

The solution to these problems is so simple, I’m surprised no one has thought of it. It would work like this: Gang bangers would face a “three offenses and you’re out” situation.
