re: Pretend I know nothing immigration; what is tonight's speech supposed to be abt?

You'll be able to tear it apart with the particulars, but as a generalization:

Prisoners by and large are those who have acted maliciously to harm others and are in the process of rehabilitation for a time proportional to the transgression.

During this time it makes sense that they lose a facet of the ability to make choices that can influence others. They have recently harmed others....why would you suppose they would even have as any consideration for the good of the community.
