WASHINGTON — Every time the U.S. government tried to deport convicted criminal Jean Jacques, his native Haiti refused to take him back.
About six months after Immigration and Customs Enforcement last had custody of him, Jacques killed a young Connecticut woman. Now he is scheduled to be sentenced next month.
Jacques is a textbook example of the kind of immigrant living in the U.S. illegally that the Obama administration says should be deported.
But that’s easier said than done.
Republicans want the Obama administration to punish countries that won’t take their citizens back by withholding visas or cutting foreign aid.
