If they’ve committed a violent crime, they should already be in jail or prison same as if a citizen did it. If their only offense is being in the country illegally, deport them right away. There’s no reason to round up nonviolent offenders and store them in a warehouse like chattel.[/quote]

As always with Republicans today, the cruelty is the point. Not efficiency. Not good policy. Not what works. The opportunity to be cruel is the driving energy of MAGA Republicans. [/quote]

Being in the country without documentation is a CIVIL, not a criminal offense. They should not be jailed at all.

Cruelty is definitely the point. Miller must have been dissed by a Latina, and he's getting his revenge on the entire culture. [/quote]

A lot of right wingers are also against this TBH, worrying that this normalizes detaining people (effectively jailing them) without due process, based purely on suspicion. If detention center excuse is to allow due diligence to make sure wrong people aren't deported.   This can mean that any American citizen can be detained based on any type of suspicion with no legal discourse, separated from their family and put into prison like setting for who know how long.  The fear is that dissidents or anyone inconvenient to whatever regime (this goes for overreach of BOTH parties) would be primary target.  This fear appears to be bipartisan.  [/quote]
