The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Would it be better to keep them in prison here, under our control? - Adrian

-----------------

Oh sure, didn't mean they get a pass for their felony(ies). First they serve whatever sentence goes with their crimes. Then they get deported.

Here is a necessary feature of being deported. Border security must already be place and sufficiently effective that 99% of the time time you will be detected if you try to cross again. But if somehow you do sneak through, you will be caught soon enough. That makes you a repeat offender and eligible for extended prison time before being deported again. Don't ask about the third time.
