The new office fits into his hard-line stance on immigration that includes a proposal to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and new guidance that Homeland Security would subject any immigrants in the country illegally to deportation if they are charged or convicted of any offense, or even suspected of a crime.

Well,I did not know that,thanks AP;)

Critics of the president's approach to immigration say the proposal is misguided, in part because studies show immigrants are less likely to commit crime than native-born U.S. citizens.

I'm wondering what level of illegal immigrant crime is acceptable to these 'critics'

“Frank Sharry, founder and executive director of America’s Voice, a liberal-leaning organization that advocates for immigrants, said, “Trump continues to tag immigrants as criminals, a charge as false as it is cruel.”

Well, couple of problems here. First, this office is intended for ILLEGAL immigrants.

Second, it’s a yes or no question, Were these people killed by illegal immigrants? If the answer is yes, then that charge in NOT false nor is it “cruel” (as in, more or less cruel than murder?) so you need to check yourself, yo.

If the AP was serving its first amendment purpose and actually informing the citizenry, president Trump wouldn’t have to form this agency.

I'm pleasantly surprised the AP included the phrase "in the country illegally" because normally, they leave that out.
