1. VERY few undocumented aliens are flight risks

The majority are living paycheck to paycheck (if they're even allowed to earn one) and can't afford to flee anywhere.

Several I know are yet to be afforded work permits and are struggling to survive at all on no wages, no public assistance, and even afraid of doing odd jobs around the house after the stupidity with the British woman who was arrested for doing just that.

There is no obvious path for these people.
