You can't undo a deportation.

Arresting and detaining these dangerous people can make sense, at least until a final decision is reached on their deportation. However, such detention must always be subject to time limits and court review.

You can't legislate sobriety.

I see people detained for simple INS violations.

Deportation isn't something that is suddenly new.

I have done prison time for 13 years without any conviction.

I can be jailed again at any time, it is very easy. They can say I am a criminal and just lock me up.

When a law enforcement officer apprehends an illegal immigrant, it makes no sense to simply release that individual who has been breaking our laws with no threat of sanction or penalty.

Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct.

They would almost throw the cops in jail when they tried to arrest me.
