Thread: Honduran man sentenced for illegal re-entry into US

Why sentence him to time served?

That is exactly one of the problems causing huge backlogs in our immigration courts.

You are telling these people, don't worry about being deported and coming back because there are no consequences.

Put there ass in jail, even if it is only 2 - 3 months. Jail is miserable and they need
to be punished

Wow, this article is a great example of one of the biggest problems we're experiencing with illegal immigration. It's like lorrie implied, the tiny so-called punishments being handed out for illegal reentry, which is a felony, don't serve as a serious deterrent. This revolving door crap has to end!

He was in jail for 87 days, that's almost 3 months.

He was a former deportee that had illegally returned a couple of times. He should have got at least 24 months of prison time for his felony return.
