Why are there so many foreign nationals who were arrested, tried and convicted in the U.S. criminal justice system and who currently reside in U.S. jails and prisons?
If we can arrest you, try you, convict you and incarcerate you, you are most definitely “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and the state wherein you reside.”
“A new report released by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has confirmed some rather unsurprising suspicions—that the majority of foreign prisoners in the U.S. are from Mexico. Of the 55,000 foreign nationals currently imprisoned in U.S. detention facilities, approximately 38,500 of them are Mexican nationals. Of those imprisoned Mexican nationals, 65 percent of them are serving time for illegal immigration offenses, with the second most common offence being drug related crimes. The report shows that foreign nationals make up 25 percent of the total prison population in America and that in federal prisons; the number of foreigners in U.S. prisons has risen 7 percent since 2005. However, more surprisingly, the number of foreigners in local and state prisons has risen 35 percent during the same time period.”
