Question for the board regarding illegals who commit crime:

catapult them over the wall

If an illegal immigrant commits a crime in America what should we do with them?

Most likely deport them.

Deport them to wherever they came from or punish them here for their crimes using tax payer dollars?

Deport if we have the swag.

Does your answer change based on whether the victim was a citizen or other illegal?

No I don't think so.

Does the severity of the crime change your stance at all?

A bit yes.

I generally think deport too, but my answer changes if it's a crime of violence and against an U.S. Citizen. I'd be pissed if an illegal harmed my family and his punishment was being sent back to where he came from to live as a free person.

I tend to agree.

public hanging, even if the crime was jaywalking

I like to conform my discussions to outcomes that are actually constitutional.

they are criminals....hang a couple and the rest will figure it out and haul arse

Ok, but it is literally impossible to implement that. Even if we wanted to. Again, when discussing possible methods of handling something, I tend to only consider things which are possible solutions.

1. Punish in America depending on the severity of the crime.

2.


3. ???

4. MAGA.

Nearly all countries won't recognize a penal judgment from another jurisdictions. Mainly because they did not have jurisdiction over the crime. The U.S. can't prosecute someone for crimes committed in Canada, and this follows that we can't also punish someone for crimes committed there.

So they'll go back to where they came from if we send them, but they're not going to punished there.

I'm not an attorney, but this guy is, and he says otherwise.

"Q: If an American is convicted of a crime in a foreign country, can he or she serve the sentence in an American prison?

A: The U.S. has entered into prisoner transfer treaties with many nations that allow a person convicted of a crime to be transferred to his or her home country to serve the prison sentence. A prisoner who wants to be transferred should notify the U.S. embassy or consulate of his or her desire. The application then must be approved by the foreign country and the U.S. Department of Justice before the transfer can take place. A prisoner who is transferred to the U.S. will have his or her sentence reevaluated, and may be resentenced according to U.S. law."

And Mexico is one of those countries.

That's only if both countries agree to. Obviously that treaty mentioned (one I was not aware of) is an example of an agreement. There certainly is not mandate that a country has to. I'm not going to say for sure, but I sincerely doubt that we have a similar treaty with ME countries. I practice state criminal law though. By no means an expert on international law. I just vaguely remember having to learn a little of this shite for the bar.
