The return and removal of illegal immigrants from the United States is one of the most widely discussed topics. Since 2007the United States Customs and Border Protection (ICE) has returned or removed over 1.2 million illegal immigrants from the United States.

ICE contracts various private pro-profit facilities to keep detainees until their immigration case is resolved. For the private facilities, it is crucial to have detainees at all times in order for them to make a profit, however, this leads to many detainees losing their freedom and a great loss of order in the migratory system. As it says in an article by Civic End Isolation, “Persons–including legal permanent residents with longstanding family and community ties, asylum-seekers, and victims of human trafficking–are detained for weeks, months, and sometimes years...CE estimates that it costs the government $12,500 to deport each individual, but when the costs of apprehension, detention, legal processing, and transportation are combined, the government spends more than $23,000 to deport each person.” For private detention centers, the gains of keeping an individual is great since they get paid massive amounts of money per person staying, on the other hand, for the United States it is extremely expensive to deport someone which deteriorates the order in the system, keeping detainees in centers for an extensive amount of time causing them to lose their freedom.

The Voter ID bill would require photo identification or two forms of other identification in order to vote. During the 81st session, Democrats filibustered to prevent the issue from being voted upon, it is very likely this is the only reason the bill did not pass and it likely will pass should it reappear in the 82nd session.

In order to maintain order and stability and security in the United States non-citizens have to confront the charges that will be given to them. As the amount of non citizens arrest are arising there is more possibility of over population in the prisons. In order to help maintain the prisons from over flowing and to keep it under control there is a need of both state and federal intervention. Both the citizens of the United States and the federal government are paying to help keep the federal prisons open for any new non citizens arrests. Deportation should be given to those who are found to be a harm to not only the United States but also to harming anyone who is a human."Of the more than 27,000 people whom ICE arrested nationwide last fiscal
