I think this is a good plan which should have been implemented long ago. When illegals are done with their sentences, they still have to go to ICE prisons and proceed with their immigration court proceedings. So it only makes sense to send these illegals to ICE before their sentences are up, so that they can pursue their ICE court proceedings. Additionally, when we send these illegals back to their countries, this is additional "punishment." Most of the illegals in our prisons came to the US as children, and being sent to their "native" countries is a definite setback for them. So we might as well send them back a bit sooner and give them that extra time to hopefully get back onto their feet with the few dollars we hand them as they are expected to make a decent living in their(oftentimes third world native) country.
