I can never get to grips with that line of thought. If someone commits a crime, they should be punished (after due process etc.). If they are deported, what control do we have over the punishment?
For example, suppose one of Osama's henchmen came to visit London on holiday, and tried to blow himself up in Piccadilly Circus, but failed and was captured. Deportation might mean sending him to a heroes welcome!
