Deportation Nation

August 31, 2012 (1 min read)

"Lifetime banishment is an inhumane and disproportionately harsh sentence, particularly for nonviolent drug offenses and crimes committed when the offenders were minors.  What vision of law justifies the deportation of those who have grown up, attended school and raised families in the United States? What purpose is served by permanently barring them from returning home, even for family visits?" - Daniel Kanstroom, Aug. 31, 2012.
