I totally agree, unfortunately 60% of the population don't think foreign criminals should be free to committ crimes in the US. Yes, they should be arrested and tried in the US, but that's hard. Easier to send them to a foreign prison and look like you're tough on foreigners and most Republicans and some Democrats will agree with him.

Why do you think there is so much press about Democrats fighting to get them sent back to the US, get arrest warrants and trials for these people? Because it makes Democratic law makers look like they care more for criminal gangs than poor Americans who get hurt by them.

I actually agree with you, but I see that it makes the Democrats look stupid.
