From the Associated Press:
Clearly it is logical to spend $13,350 and waste the time of people in law to convict and deport three non-criminal men who would have likely (though not definitely) brought more benefits than costs to the United States.

...three Mexican citizens who were charged with illegal re-entry after being found in Travis County Jail [in Texas].
[The judge] wrote that like many of the defendants prosecuted under the federal illegal re-entry law, the men had no significant criminal history. He says it has cost more than $13,350 to jail the three.
He also noted the charges mean additional costs and work for prosecutors, defense lawyers, court personnel and others.
