Ed, I read about the illegal immigrant who had sex with a 14-year-old girl at the Hun School. He was sentenced to five years in jail and a psychological evaluation, and when he finishes his sentence, he will be deported back to Guatemala. Why don’t we simply deport him now and save all the money to keep him in jail with health and dental, and even psychological care? Why should the U.S. taxpayers foot the bill for his expenses, if he is only going to be deported at the end? Or are we hoping he will find a nice woman (or man) in jail to marry and then become a U.S. citizen?

We want to make sure he’s punished and punished our way. And if he meets a nice man in the process, so be it.—Ed. Note
