Here's the stupid thing about immigration violators. TSA has supposedly caught illegals that were going home to their home countries. So what does DHS do? Takes them into custody, gives them a deportation hearing and deports them. Maybe throw in some jail time too.
It'd make much more sense to let them go home. They're not getting back in by plane.
I'm not saying all are going home, but if they are, DHS needs to just let them go instead of wasting tons of time and money to get the same result.
