It used to be this way but we are sending too many people back so a lot of things that used to be the norm are not anymore, that is the main problem with Trump's immigration push. We are deporting more people but we have not given more funding to the system that is responsible for processing people properly so a lot of holes are being created.
To be fair this problem was already going on under Obama, Trump just made it worse.
You don't understand deportation doesn't mean they won't come back, these gang members are organized and are taking over towns. If we keep sending them without proper paperwork who knows what kind of force they can become over there. It's not about sympathy it's about making sure they are not something that comes back to bite us in the ass, unless you want the US to get involved in another war effort in the future.
Anywhere there's a market for something illegal, you'll find organized crime. If you put all 10k of these guys away others would simply take their place. Tough on crime isn't a solution as you're just escalating conflict on the streets as criminals respond by adopting tougher methods too. Going to prison becomes the training camp and a badge of honor instead of a place of rehabilitation. Threatening locking them up and throwing away the key just means they'll rather go down fighting than surrender to arrests. When you're not affected in any way, it's easy to knee-jerk react that way, until the day comes when the police state infringes on your rights with no one backing you up or caring about you.

People want to fight fire with fire expecting a different result every time. Going after people doesn't absolve tensions or improve discourse as no-one is willing to listen to the other side.
If you knew the candle was fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago.

Well, one reason we can't is that Guantanamo is not a prison to put people when we don't like them. It's a military prison specifically for non-citizen enemy combatants from Al Qaeda/Taliban/associates thereof while fighting the war against terrorism. Gang members from Central/South America do not fit criteria to be detained in Guantanamo. They are not members of Al Qaeda or the Taliban and have not aggressed against service members or the coalition in the war on terrorism.
