Another reason to toughen our policies towards illegal immigrants

Why do too many illegals charged with serious crimes escape punishment?
Well, look at our policies on bail:

"Part of the problem is the law. Under the current bail law, judges are allowed to consider a variety of factors in setting bail, including a suspect's ties outside of the community. But they are not allowed to consider whether someone is in the country illegally and facing deportation."

Yikes!
