so if you are a swedish-american, you can get out of jail free if you move to sweden and never return
And then those countries will terminate dual citizenships.
Ayden Robinson
source and i hope this is true.
Christopher Bennett
50% of the prison population has dual citizenship?????????????????
Jacob Nelson
What about people that were arrested in the states that don't hold citizenship? Should send them back too
Luis Wright
50% of the FEDERAL prison population does NOT have US Citizenship, is what I got from that
Easton Foster
no, but the destination country will receive $10K as payment for each prisoner they are willing to accept
Ayden James
This would be good if they extended it to private state prisons and Trump issued executive orders killing any quotas which require specified private prison capacity levels to be met less the states face fines from the prisons (which affect their taxpayers), and axed three strikes laws on nonviolent offenders. Doing that removes illegal immigrants and fixes mass incarceration of non violent offenders.
Jose Myers
I don't think so. I think they are doing some extrapolation, assuming crime will reduce once we ship the non citizen criminals back to their countries.
A new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) reveals that an estimated $700 million was spent housing non-citizen federal inmates in 2014.
The July report also shows that 11.2 percent of federal inmates, 23,532, were non-citizens in calendar year 2014. The Bureau of Prisons estimated that an average of $30,619.85 was spent per federal prisoner in fiscal year 2014. The fiscal year includes all but three months of a calendar year.
According to BOP figures, from April 23, over 15 percent of federal prisoners have Mexican citizenship. The CRS report found that non-citizens were in prison most commonly for drug or immigration offenses. They made up 45.5 percent of drug crime offenders and 43.3 percent of immigration offenders in federal prison in 2013.
Hear that, niggers? They're making space for your #BLM rioters.

Those numbers are mind boggling, and further proof we need the wall. Even if we keep them and deport them after time served, with no wall, they'll just come right back in.
It's madness it's gotten this bad, and if it gets any worse, it might spark another Mexico-USA war.
Jose Morgan
Makes great financial sense. Trump is all about the bottom line. He's a gift to the American people and their 17 trillion dollar debt (or whatever it is now)
Joseph Evans
PURE GENIUS.

Confirmed. They were just discussing this "controversial program" on CNN.
Ayden Carter
...
Robert Harris
Is America going to be fixed by 2018? Trump is solving every problem
Robert Perry
Sup Forums as a whole is of incredible dimness doesnt "ancestral origin" explain enough what this hoax is about? its not about foreigners or dual citizenship you idiots
John Bell
why don't we just kill them? seriously though. if they're here illegally who would even know?
Owen Hall
I'd rather be in an american jail than Sweden.
Justin Martinez
there is no reason to consider it to be controversial as it will be entirely voluntary
Logan Bell
Oh wow what a generous amount for taking back a criminal, literally doesn't fucking work
Morocco exports criminals and despite us having agreements with them are still all butthurt when they actually have to take them back
Aiden Jenkins
In some countries that is a buttload of money though. And it might just get pocketed by the government officials that accept their new citizen.
Luke Watson
offer 500k $ inheritance to every 65y old for their family if they off themselves.
