Was the woman who's fate you seem so concerned about here Longer than that length of time? If so, then a different set of rules applies than if that time wasn't expired. Was she still under the auspices of that legal Contract? If she was, then the rules that were applied were the correct ones. Was her coma the result of an accident, or due to an existing medical condition which she knew about prior to coming to the US, even legally?
...i look forward to your figures.
As to the quote above, how come you're assuming that there is anything illegal in her background? Oh wait, she's an immigrant. Therefore you apparently feel secure in suggesting she may be in the US illegaly. That's the bigotry i'm referring to. You may not even be aware of it. i suggest that while you're going back over your psych notes you also look at the bits about unconscious assumptions. You'll probably find it in perception theory and the theories around unreliable witnesses.
Tsk tsk, phil - still taking things deliberately out of context I see. Why are YOU assuming that I'm assuming she's illegal? Oh wait, because it suits your purposes. Why would I be given to the possible assumption that she's no longer considered a legal resident alien - because she's being deported. Despite my general distrust of our current government, I do not believe that such things as deportation are done arbitrarily. And if it IS being done on an arbitrary basis - the truth will come to light and those officials responcible for an arbitrary judgement will have consequences to face.
What was it that I asked in that quote? Whether she had been here longer than any Legally Required Minimums before certain things could happen. How is that assuming she's here illegally? Oh yeah, it's Not - it's asking a direct question - has she met minimum requirements - because I do not have that piece of relevant, pertinant information. That is no different than asking whether someone has met minimum requirements for any Other issue that happens to hold legal ramifications. (ie: Has he met the minimum requirements as prescribed by pertinant law to apply for and test to recieve a pilot's licence, according to either FAR part 61 or part 131? Has she met the minimum requirements to hold that particular office? )
What was my Second question? What caused the Coma, an accident or a preexisting condition? As noted by Archer (thanks Archer, that was some of what I'd been looking up to specifically reference) Resident Alien Application requires a statement that the person is not going to be a tax burden due to preexisting medical conditions. If she had one and knew about it, but failed to get a waiver or lied on the application - she was here under false pretenses and therefore her legal status would not have been valid. (If you knowingly lie on any sort of federal application, it's considered Fraud and you can go to Prison over it. Even an employer has the right to dismiss you without Any other cause, should you lie on your application to them for employment.) If she had one and knew about it, and Got a waiver, then such would not apply in her case and would therefore Not lead to Deportation. If her coma is due to accident while here in the US, waiver does not pertain because it was not due to a preexisting condition, and circumstances at that point become muddy. Which is it? Hard to say whether things are black, white, or grey as far as the deportation goes without knowing that Key piece of information - which I don't have, or I wouldn't have asked in the first place.
Now, all that having been said, here are links to a couple of law enforcement statistical reporting sites. The ones that I said I would find from my notes.
The primary site to locate the sorts of statistics I mentioned previously - repeat offenders, escalation of crime severity, etc - are to be found at the Bureau of Justice Statistics Homepage. At that specific site, you can find the most recently released data they have available. They have a secondary page, accessable from the home page, which offers Key Crime & Justice Figures at a Glance. The data concerning reapprehension and readmission to a correctional facility (ie, those who are repeat offenders) can be found on the page concerning Reentry Trends in the United States. The data concerning Recitivism specifically highlights and details the corolated data on Caught repeat offenders within the criminal justice system. If you digest all of that, and want further data, you might consider the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting statistics website. The FBI's Crime in the United States is an annual publication compiling data on the volumn and rate of crime for the nation, the individual states, and individual agencies. It is specifically listed by Year date, with the most recent compilation being for 2007, and that being listed as "preliminary". In the interest of Fairness, I will note that not all Types of crimes are reported to UCR data collection, and even though it's uniformly available here in the US not all agencies (especially on the various local levels) are consistant with sending data regarding those types of crimes that Are covered. As with all statistical data, there is a margin of error based on different factors.
