Then why do you bother people who overstay their visas? And people who don't but because you don't stamp their passports when they leave can't prove they acted

Then why do you bother people who overstay their visas? And people who don't but because you don't stamp their passports when they leave can't prove they acted legally when the INS screws up?

For people on a temporary visa, I guess exit passport control can make sense. For people holding the country's passport, it just doesn't. As far as that goes, I've had my passport not be stamped plenty of times on leaving countries that _do_ have exit passport control (e.g. France), so the problem you describe is present even there.
