The Problem with Deportation

There's a good story up on Focus today, which I would recommend a read.  It's basically the story of a asylum-type 'predator' who was probably not ever going to project any enthusiasm for work, or for respect of law.

This guy had spent some time after leaving Tunisian (his original country) in Italy and France.  No one says why he exited either country....but along April of last year....he decided to try his luck in Germany.

This guy....20 years old.....over a period of four months, had committed thirty crimes, with charges to each (dangerous bodily harm, threatening, willful bodily harm, insults, theft of home, and general theft).  On the charges? Multiple mentions on each crime.

Sending the guy back Tunisia?  Well....the prosecution wants the guy to spend three to four years in a German prison before that.

The problem here, along with each arrest that occurred in the early part of the four-month period.....someone responsible should have stood up, declared the guy a 'problem' and just sent him onto immediate deportation.  It should have been the simple act of reviewing his record on the 3rd arrest and just saying 'enough'....we don't have time to mess with you and your behavior won't correct itself.  Yet nothing like that is geared to happen, until you get to a full page of charges and you end up wasting a thousand man-hours to run some full-scale court action.
