I know a person (for over 40 years) that was charged with assault of a elderly person (his wife) in Harris County, Texas and was convicted and given probation for 4 years - less than 6 months after that he was charged with assault (his grandson) in an adjoining county (Galveston) and just had that dismissed this last month. Harris County was not even aware of the charge, which would have broken his probation.

Our systems in America simply do not work - when evidence comes up that they don't nothing happens to correct the problem. The same situation for business hiring illegals - totally meaningless.

I think this is by design. The political class does not want anyone or anything telling them what they can or cannot do.

America is exceptional - exceptionally stupid.
