I'm not familiar with this particular case, but I get your point. Without understanding or reading the decision and so forth—I'm not questioning the judge—I would basically agree with you that it's a matter of what the relevant considerations are in sentencing.
We look at aggravating circumstances. We look at mitigating circumstances. There's a lot of leeway given to the courts in that respect. Should the fact that you're going to lose your job or maybe get deported be considered a mitigating factor? When it comes to the immigration one, I would say no, but I'm sure some might say yes.
