Report: Shifting Noncitizens to Faraway Detention Centers Unfair (illegals, law, prison)

[Benicar]

Wait a minute. . . citizens are sent miles away from their families when they are incarcerated. Why should illegals receive preferential treatment? Next they’ll designate a room in each illegals’ home to be used for detention to avoid separating families. This is BS.

The U.S. government's expanding practice of detaining noncitizens and transferring them to faraway detention facilities is coming under fire.

The group Human Rights Watch released a report this week that says the process for detaining and transferring noncitizens is unfair and needs to be changed.

The Human Rights Watch report says that as part of the increased detentions, the government is detaining growing numbers of noncitizens in cities such as Los Angeles and New York and then transferring them to remote detention facilities that are hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles away in other states, including Arizona.

The report says transferring detainees so far away from home traumatizes family members, especially children. It can also lead to wrongful deportations by making it hard for detainees to fight their legal case to remain in the U.S.

The report called for numerous changes in immigration law and policies, including building detention facilities close to where most immigration arrests occur.

And this is a problem how?

It would be much better if fewer people were detained in these centers and were sent back home much more quickly.

It's kind of funny that it's the illegals that insist on these long-drawn out deportation hearings instead of being sent home promptly but then they complain and complain and complain about the detention centers.

What ever happened to "voluntary departure"? That is still a valid choice for an illegal and they can very quickly be back home.

Send the non tax paying illegals back to Mexico or charge the mexican govt for there rent in prison.. pipe dream that they'd ever pay but still i like the idea. Who cares if they get shipped to another prison somewhere else they committed a crime now pay the price for it.
