now I know what you cons are thinking , “I’m a soulless monster . I want to punish desperate familes trying to beg their way into America . Wouldnt criminal charges do that ?”
You might think so. BUT when you charge and arrest someone for a crime , it triggers all kinds of Constitutional protection .
“Whaaat? But I’ve read the constitution and both amendments. It doesn’t say no nuthin about immigants!”
Turns out there’s ALOT in the constitution after the 2nd amendment . All kinds of rights, and they aren’t limited to just citizens. When you go the crime route the person gets entitled to an attorney , speedy trial , all kinds of stuff.
Which is why most immigration is delt with in immigration court . Cause it’s a lot easier to bounce people .
And now you know !
Yes you like to call these people “criminals”. But it’s more grief than it’s worth. Build more immigration courts if you want to deport people faster .
So if that's the case little timmy , I will jump your fence take a big poop in your pool and drink all your koolaid..
You wouldn't prosecute me now would ya?
.
Why prosecute you ? You’d get a fine at most .
Much better if I just punch you in the face .
That's jail time , a felony if you where

93% of all court cases are plea bargained and they do not go to trial.... only 7% of criminal charges are actually brought to the court....mostly rich people who can afford a good defense....most of the other guys accept the charges and plea for a lesser sentence....this is what our Justice dept strives for.....for the case to not end up in court where it costs the govt a lot of money to prosecute....
I just learned that....
I had always thought people who were charged all usually went to trial so they could defend themselves....? but that is not true.....and the justice dept does all that it can do to prevent the court and trial costs.....
Sometimes, I think this leads to over charging the perp..so the Justice dept can scare the death out of them with a whole bunch of charges and then drop most of them in a plea deal so they agree not to go to trial.....
anyway, that's off topic I suppose and a topic for another thread.
