Mom Sent Street-Cleaning Bill...

Easy solution here, and the Chinese are masters at it.

Harvest a lung, cornea, kidney ,etc to pay retribution to the CITIZEN whose life she ruined, then kick her ass back to whatever god-forsaken country from which she came.

Spay her in the process, to ensure that no anchor babies are dropped in te process.

So an illegal kills someone, repeat kills someone, in a DUI. She has no drivers license, repeat has no drivers license, no insurance, nada....and she doesn't get deported?

How?

She is in jail. Once her sentence is up, she will be.

Would you rather she just be deported, and not have to serve any jail time for her actions?

She has enjoyed the freedoms of America and the security of America as a criminal. Sending her to jail, only to have the victims family pay for it is crazy.

Food, clothing, medicine, water, shoes, electricity, laundry services, protection services, housing, etc... all are costs that go into paying for an inmate. In FY11, South Carolina spent $14,409 per inmate. She will end up costing at least $244,943 ($208k if she serves 85%) over the next 17 years. THEN we have to deport her. Essentially, it cost the USA $5billion to deport 393,000 immigrants last year. So, We can deport her and pay a one time fee of $12,500 or house her for $14,409 per year for 17 years.

Now, what if we make her a citizen and garnish her wages so that she pays a fine, at the very least pays the costs of the services for responding to her crime, burying the boy and the court costs?

Per your link, that cost is the total cost divided by number of prisoners - so losing one would not save much money. Certainly not 225,000 over the length of her sentence. Now if there were so many illegals in jail you had to open a jail just for them, that is another story - then your $14K per year would be accurate.

It is crazy though, to bill the victim.

That is a different issue that seems to have nothing to do with the illegality of the perp. Seems like they would do the same if the perp was a poor American with no resources.

Look again Jon. South Carolina outlines the cost per inmate. Take that, multiple it by 17.

In Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011), SCDC expended $336.6million in state appropriated funds, for a per inmate cost of $14,409 per year ($39.48 per day).

You don't need to do any total cost divided by # of prisoners, SC has already done the math for you. The $14k is accurate.

She may actually be better off in an American jail versus being deported back to wherever she's from. Either way...it's more expensive for us as taxpayers to keep her here, so ship her ass out today is my opinion.

You are missing the point - that is all SC did - take total cost and divide by the number of prisoners. It includes alot of capital costs that really don't change if one prisoner is there or not.

So, you want to focus on just part of the cost, not the total cost? THe question is how much does it cost to incarcerate. SC says $14k a year per person. Now, if she doesn't go to jail that is one less person to feed and clothe, but you are right, the electricity, mortgage, etc... will still be in play. But,those "savings" would never be realized because there would be antoher person to take her place shortly.
