Should the US be like UK allowing all criminal illegal aliens to remain human rights supersedes their crimes?

Rocky Gurung, an immigrant from Nepal who was convicted of killing an innocent man by throwing him into the River Thames, was allowed to stay in Britain because it would have breached his human rights to separate him from his parhttp, who live in the UK. Other criminals who won the right to stay last year after making human rights arguments included:

* A Turkish man, aged 38, who was convicted of rape and jailed for seven years in 2004, but successfully argued that he would be in danger from the anti-terror police and intelligence agencies if he was sent home.

* A 28-year-old Congolese man who was handed four years' imprisonment for causing grievous bodily harm with intent – by battering a man with a metal pole – but won his appeal against deportation because he had an infant son.

* A father-of-three from Pakistan who sexually assaulted a woman after drugging her, and was jailed for 15 months.

* A 23-year-old Congolese man who was convicted of 10 crimes between 2002 and 2006 before being jailed for robbery in 2007, receiving a two-year prison term. His lawyers successfully argued that it would be wrong to return him to his native country where conditions were "harsh and difficult".

* A Lebanese man who was a prime mover in a £3 million fraud, and who admitted receiving £258,000 from the crime to fund a lavish lifestyle including a Mercedes, a Range Rover and expensive watches. The 40-year-old was jailed for 40 months but allowed to remain in the UK because of the effect that deporting him would have had on his children and wife, who was also jailed for her role in the fraud.

* A Pakistani man, aged 40, jailed for eight years for conspiracy to import Class A drugs and conspiracy to kidnap, whose lawyers argued that he should stay in Britain because of his "right to family life".

Last December the father of a 12-year-old girl who was killed by a hit-and-run driver criticised human rights laws which allowed Aso Mohammed Ibrahim, an Iraqi asylum seeker, to remain in Britain after serving two months in prison.

Paul Houston said it was "perverse" that after taking the life of his daughter, Amy, Ibrahim was allowed to stay because he has since fathered two children and to remove him would damage his family life.

Last year this newspaper disclosed how double killer Laith Alani, an Iraqi, was allowed to remain in Britain on human rights grounds because he would pose a danger to people in his homeland. In 2009 Mark Cadle, 42, from Belize, used the same arguments to avoid deportation after having sex with a 14-year-old girl who he infected with a sexually transmitted disease.

Where was their respect for the human rights of their victims? If you do not give the respect to others rights you should have none!

The last thing we want is for the US to be like the UK. That's why we became the US.
