Why? He will just go be a rich asshole in India, we should take his money and than deport him.

He needs to be in Jail. I would highly recommend reading the entire article. This guy seems like a psychopath. He put that woman through hell.

Putting him in prison costs us - the taxpayers - money. Deporting him doesn't.

He's a criminal, and criminals should go to jail. Only after release they should be deported.

Cost is not the issue. The issue is letting criminals go unpunished, because their only sentence is getting a free ride back to their country (which, btw, is also paid by taxpayers dollars).

That's not how it works. We deport illegal aliens instead of putting them in prison, despite the fact that they broke the law. The reason is obvious.

The cost of the plane ticket simply pales in comparison to housing and feeding him over the course of many years.

Besides, the US has treaties with most countries whereby deported criminals serve prison sentences in their home countries. I can assure you prisons in India are not very comfortable...

Because usually the law they broke wasn't criminal, and quite often if it was criminal (particularly if any other crime than illegal entry— which not all "illegal aliens" are guilty of, because, e.g., visa overstays—is involved) they serve a criminal sentence first, and then are deported (and sometimes, not even then are deported.)

Not if you put him in one of those shitty "Tent City" style jails Joe Arpaio runs.

If he is a psychopath, why not provide him some psychiatry?
