Is entering the country without proper documentation legal now? Asking because I stopped following this stuff after they gave Laken Riley’s killer life in prison on our dime.
No sympathy anymore. It sets a precedent that you can come into our country illegally, kill a white person and then be taken care of on the US TAXPAY’S DIME for the rest of your life.
No. Take that guy out back and get rid of him.
Well what are our options? The death penalty is more or less interchangeable with life in prison, in both actual effect and intended outcome. The Georgia DA had already sworn to never pursue the death penalty, so it was off the table.
We don't deport people who commit serious crimes if there's any chance they'd be released, we keep them imprisoned ourselves at our cost or else what, set them free elsewhere?
Its great that we've got friends in other countries willing to take some of our deported prisoners and hold them at their facilities, but functionally its completely the same as if we imprisoned them ourselves.
We send him to CECOT in El Salvador and he's living the same imprisoned life he would here, being paid for by the same US taxpayers.
The debate over the cost of imprisoning murders like this is as old as human civilization. Its a reason we were much more axe-happy in past generations and that was just more pragmatic
