Republicans, Obama immigration chief clash over criminal immigrants
This seems like a good example of complete dysfunction and a Kobyashi Maru of government. You cannot deport a criminal to a country that will not take them back, so you release them in the US. Why does this seem really strange?
p.s. the hindenburg was a good example.

On the other hand, I hear that Pitcairn Island wants settlers.
Maybe they'd fit right in there.

Precisely, and it is because they initiate force on another that they void their right not to have it done on them in return. It's like a ridiculous argument put forth in another article I read today claiming that criminals should have a right not to get shot when perpetrating a crime because it violates their rights (http://girlsjustwannahaveguns.com/lib....
Now one might make the argument that such a punishment as I am suggesting is disparate to the crime committed. If so, the question then revolves around what punishment is sufficient and who should be charged with carrying out (ie paying for and administering) said punishment, so the argument returns us to the same place.
A few things I take into consideration:
First of all, these individuals are convicted criminals - not merely suspects. They have already forfeited many of their rights by committing crimes serious enough that mere incarceration isn't sufficient punishment.
Second, these individuals aren't citizens of the United States. We have no responsibility to take care of them one way or the other.
Third, these individuals abused our hospitality first by coming here illegally and secondly by committing serious crimes against our people. I'm really not in favor of allowing such a mentality to stand very long.
Fourth, the nations these individuals come from don't respect the laws of our nation and are relying on us being willing to provide a subsistence living for citizens they don't want to take responsibility for as a citizen. I say we need to send them back a strong message that says "No Dumping!"
