The bill would amend the Government Code to require as a condition of parole or mandatory supervision that an illegal criminal alien leave the United States after release, and do not unlawfully return or unlawfully reenter. The bill would also amend the Government Code to authorize the parole panel to revoke without further hearing or determination the parole or mandatory supervision of an illegal criminal alien, except that requested by the releasee.

Expanding the list of offenses for which a penalty is applied is expected to result in increased demands upon the correctional resources of counties or of the State due to longer terms of probation, or longer terms of confinement in county jails or prison. In fiscal year 2010, it is estimated that approximately 2,384 criminal aliens with a federal detainer relating to their immigration status were released from prison on parole supervision, mandatory supervision, or discretionary mandatory supervision. In fiscal year 2010, it is estimated that approximately 58 criminal aliens with a federal detainer relating to their immigration status had their parole supervision, mandatory supervision, or discretionary mandatory supervision revoked and were sent back to prison; of those revoked, less than 5 were for technical violations of supervision conditions. Although the number of offenders who would have their supervision revoked for violating the conditions of this bill is unknown, for this analysis it is assumed the number of offenders convicted under this statute would not result in a significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies.
