“Still, the state of our prisons has become something of a scandal. We have more prisoners today than we have soldiers, and more prison guards than Marines. “
I question that old canard. Per http://www.cis.org/ImmigrantCrime
“The Federal Bureau of Prisons reports that 26.4 percent of inmates in federal prisons are non-U.S. citizens. Non-citizens are 8.6 percent of the nation’s adult population.”
That’s a big number.
Fly them home, drop them off....
