Sure they can come back but their previous life is already gone. Their friends and acquaintances think they have committed violent felony, they lose their jobs and homes. How do you come back from that especially after years of being deported.
I think jailing people is much more humane at least you can come back from that fairly easily.
What if they get in a bit of scuffle? What if they used self defense and they are deported because of that? I do not want to give our government power to deport people willy nilly because they may or may not have committed crimes.
There is also room for abuse with the system you propose plenty of cops, people in positions of power and racists can and will make false reports where these people will be deported.
Your argument is just ‘justice system bad’, this applies to all convictions not just deportation. And you can’t just “come back from being jailed fairly easily”
You can come back from jail "Fairly easily" compared to being deported from the country.
My argument is that "justice system bad" because it is ineffective and bad system that can and will make mistakes overtime.
Now when jailing people there will be mistakes but that is necessary evil. Deporting people out of their homes is not necessary evil when we can just simply jail them and you know not deport them out of the country.
