The Supreme Court ruled that illegal aliens cannot be detained for any reason longer than a prescribed amount of time, even if found guilty of crimes in the United States. Theoretically, they should be deported back into their country of origin but, and this is a major "but," in many instances the country of origin is refusing to take them back. Hence, they are released into the general U.S. population. Furthermore, the rights of privacy and secrecy laws prevent local law enforcement agencies and you from knowing who they are, what their crimes were and where they are currently domiciled.
Yes, a Chinese murderer could be living next to you, having served a very short sentence behind bars. Even a member of the Mexican drug cartels could be in your neighborhood and there is nothing law enforcement can do about it. If their native country refuses to issue the necessary papers, we can't send them home. After six months, they must be set free and into our society. In most cases, the victims if their crimes are not notified they have been released.
Once released, an astonishingly high percentage of them commit more crimes and law enforcement is caught in another quandary; if they've already done six months behind bars, can they be re-arrested and put behind bars again? The answers vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. There is a law against harboring illegal aliens, but that is rarely enforced these days due to the legal entanglements.
Now, Mr. and Mrs. America, how do you feel about that? Isn't this all just ducky?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
