Why do people get upset with the fact that there's illegals in our prisons?

nicolasraage

I don't, personally. But the theory is they cost us money. Not unlike if they were out of our prisons, using medical services, etc.

I think illegals should be forced to be put on work duties.

Because it's our Tax Dollars that pay to feed them, clothe them, and give them 3 hot meals a day, and a bed to sleep in!

Hold em Rox.

Because it costs tax payers way too much to house these criminals, I know if they did a crime they should be punished.
But the reason is the fact that if we had better border security and INS was keeping a better look out for the people who overstay their visas then the crimes that these illegals commit would not have happened. Better border security and enforcement of already existing immigration laws would help Prevent Crimes.
We have enough citizens here who commit crimes, we do NOT need illegal aliens here committing crimes also. (that is the reason American citizens are angry and upset )

many people feel they should be deported, I think that is the thing to do if they served out their sentence.

If all illegals are kept in prisons, America will run out of prison cells. That is like building as many houses in California, Texas and Nevada where most of the illegals are staying.

Do you have any idea how much money we spend on our prisoners? Its like we are paying everything for illegals when they are free, and then we lock them up and have to pay for them anyway. They should be in jail in their own countries.

cadillacjoechavez

they cost money pendejo. a program should be set up amongst all countries. if someone is found guilty they should be deported and serve time in their native country. its only right.

Do a study on how much it costs to keep that person in prison.
You will find that we are still supporting them, and paying more for them to be housed in jail or prison then it would cost for a ride back to the border 5 times a month.

Mr. Bojangles

Because it costs a lot of money to imprison people. I know it costs my local small town jail millions to house illegal aliens. Millions that our parks and streets could sure as hell use.

Criminals should be confined! Are Mexican Jails to full? Mexico should be doing more for their poor, so they would not have to come here illegally

di05712

they are costing us money,either kill them or send them back to where ever they came from

They definitely should be jailed their full term before being deported, or where is the deterrent value? Particularly given how quickly they come right back....

What people are upset about is 4 to 5 % of the people, (the illegals) making up about 30% of the prison population, nationwide. It underscores the screening issues.

SavedbyGrace

The cost of taking care of them and the space, unfortunately we have need of more prison space. Now you have to have more specialized programs for rehabilation, more guards, food etc....

princess_29_71

I see your point. If I had it my way, they would be on a plane or bus back to Mexico but if they are going to be here, jail is the most appropriate place for criminals.

Maybe, some people feel that illegals should be shipped home to do their time.

thelogicalferret

exactly right. as a matter of fact we need to revamp the whole prison system, our prisons are horribly over crowded, so much so that California is getting ready to spend millions of dollars a year for other states to house its prisoners. I say we execute everyone on death row immediately, do the same with any murderers, child molesters who are likely to repeat and anyone who has committed a heinous crime. this would open up a lot of room. seriously, these people should not be released back into society so why keep them imprisoned and pay for them for the rest of their lives. then for the rest of the prisoners start the chain gang back up and send them out to pick the farmers fruits and veggies, the farmers have their cheap labor, the inmates contribute to their costs as prisoners and you have solved many problems all at once. then for those illegals that have served their sentence (remember the ones who committed heinous crimes have been executed) they can be deported.

Yo!

I know what you mean, but at the same time, do you know how much it costs to keep a person in jail?

gokart121

Did you know that it costs about 50k/yr to keep one person in prison? I don't know how it ever got that expensive, I'm sure they could knock about 40k/yr of the costs off of that and still maintain good order, but it's still INsane that compared to some people's lives that've never so much as spit on the sidewalk, a prison term is a step UP in the world...that whole thing's a racket, too, in my view, and I feel that illegal aliens should be deported.

Border security has to be improved, no 2 ways about it. Instead of putting tens of thousands more cops on america's streets, how about 5 thousand more on the borders, where it'll make a REAL difference?

Think about how much crime is drug-related. Well, if the smugglers can't get in to begin with, that'll change for the better.

Deporting illegal aliens will also free up jails for the justice system to fill their needs. Build more prisons, which costs a lot of money, or send the people home that have no business being in our country to begin with. Decisions, decisions...

Brandon_X

well on my opinion: if they come to the US and are arrested they deserve to be in an American prison otherwise if stated they can be sent to a Mexican jail etc but i still think that if their in the US they deserve to be imprisoned in a us prison

ruserious

Because it takes American taxpayer's money to keep them in jail. Send them back and keep them from coming back by securing our borders.

I don't think that illegals being in the jails is the upsetting factor. I think it's the fact that they are in the country to begin with. If they weren't here...this wouldn't be an issue.

Yukaza

Because it cost the legal tax payers money to keep someone in prison,heres what it coasts in Arizona.

Incarceration. The cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in Arizona prisons and jails amounts to about $80 million a year (not including the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).

Heres California
Incarceration. The cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in California's prisons and jails amounts to about $1.4 billion a year (not including related law enforcement and judicial expenditures or the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).
