'I want them out of our country': Trump on deporting criminals
President Donald Trump suggested Monday that the United States could pay a “small fee” to foreign countries to imprison Americans who are repeat criminal offenders, floating a kind of modern-day penal colony.
Trump billed the idea as a cost-saving measure in remarks at a conference for House Republicans in Doral.
Trump said doing so would allow the federal government to avoid using U.S. jails "for massive amounts of money" and private prisons, which he said “charge us a fortune.”
