Nearly one-quarter of all federal inmates are illegal immigrants and virtually all are in deportation proceedings or already face removal orders, according to a new Homeland Security report.
The Justice Department's Bureau of Prisons, fulfilling a presidential executive order requiring transparency on prisoner immigration status, said that it houses 187,855 inmates of which 42,034 are foreign born.
The DHS report said that only seven of those 42,034 have been granted deportation "relief."
According to experts the percentage of prisoners who are illegal immigrants is down slightly, but still remain a significant population.

Five years at hard labor. Let's try that.
Well, what do you expect. They broke one law and got away with it. Why not break another?
