Everyone knows that now, Americans are the only approved crime victims for Earth-based criminals.

The crime was horrifying enough — a nightclub owner, hacked to death with a machete, was found buried in pieces. But what really outraged people was that the accused killer had been deported from the U.S. to his native Grenada as a convicted felon.
As a foreign-bred criminal, the suspect never should have returned to the close-knit tropical nation, relatives of the victim and others said. Islanders called for more vigilance over deportees by the government, which says it needs help from Washington to handle the return of hardened convicts.
"I hope that my brother did not die in vain and something can be done to monitor these criminal deportees," said Gemma Raeburn-Baynes, a sister of the nightclub owner, Michael Raeburn-Delfish.
The United States has deported thousands of convicted criminals to the Caribbean annually since 1996, when Congress mandated that every non-citizen sentenced to a year or more in prison be kicked out of the country upon release. In all, the U.S. is responsible for about three-quarters of the region's returning criminal deportees, with the United Kingdom and Canada accounting for most of the other ex-cons arriving in the islands.
It's a phenomenon that also afflicts many parts of Central America, where street gangs that grew out of Los Angeles spread to the region through massive deportations. Brutal and powerful, the "Maras" are blamed for rampant violent crime, extortion and more recently acting as enforcers for drug cartels.

And we still have a program for employers to legally bring in seasonal agricultural workers if they need them.
Picking lettuce is NO EXCUSE for not securing the border or supporting illegal immigration.
AGREED!!!!
We wouldn't be returning their trash if they weren't already convicted criminals.

Why is this a ‘foreign bred criminal?
He came from Grenada.
He was BRED in Grenada. NOt in the USA.
“Too bad we no longer have a huge island somewhere on Earth to serve as a place for a penal colony for those who must be deported from the U.S., but whom are also very unwelcome in their home countries.”
Well, there’s always Antartica. Or Greenland.
“We wouldn’t be returning their trash if they weren’t already convicted criminals. “
Yup.
And yet, if the US executes them, they bitch and moan about that, too.
Eff these MoFos.
How about the Bikini Atoll?
It is one of the keys, I agree. Another is for people to understand that the melting pot analogy has its limits. We have a maximum absorption rate. Below that rate, you get the benefits of cultural enrichment and eventually "e. pluribus unum." Above it, you get Balkanization of the country, with separated groups antagonistic to each other and to the whole. Although it is un-PC, it is also obvious that the maximum absorption rate for some cultures is lower than for others. For old-style Islamics it might be near zero.
Hell, even following the melting pot analogy, if you stick too much of a foreign metal into the furnace, you often get precipitates rather than an alloy.
Those are very nice places, I’d imagine.
I still vote for the floating penal colonies!
