Comments
There should be no bail at all, they are here illegally and should be held until they are cleared by locals and then immediately sent to Federal authorities for deportation.
These actions are working to deter illegals from coming here. The word is out in Mexico. Fewer are coming and many leave when there is no work for them. Do this across the country so we can focus on the ones that are here to do us harm!!
This bill creates a presumption against bail for persons who are not lawfully present in the United States who are arrested for certain crimes, including drunk driving.
