“Should a sentencing court consider collateral consequences in formulating a sentence in a criminal case

“Should a sentencing court consider collateral consequences in formulating a sentence in a criminal case, why or why not?” Please discuss both sides of the issue in your paper. For examples of the question, think about an immigration case in which a conviction of possession of marijuana in excess of 30 grams will result in deportation or an assault that occurs which involves a living companion and the potential for deportation. Think about a conviction of a felony or a misdemeanor and the collateral consequences of each.
