        Not a damned thing. While in this country they are in the act of
committing a crime. Once they have been deported they have stopped
committing the crime and then they can plead to appear in court.

And who is it that gets to decide what is a "crime" and what is not?  The 
politicos, the bureaucrats, the hoodlums in DC and elsewhere who think 
they have the right to run the lives of everybody else.

Again I ask the question:
What gives the hoodlums in Washington DC the right to draw a line on a 
map and control people's travel across that line?
