‘Deportation of Criminals Followed by Decline in Crime’

Correct.

If you read the mainstream news, the drop in crime is the result of Colorado’s sanctuary policies which reduce crime wherever they’re employed. Idiots....

While a certain amount and type of crime is pretty much inevitable, people being what they are, there is a type of crime that is not.

And that is repeated, violent crime. Because you have to have something wrong with you to be the perpetrator of repeated violent crime. Thankfully such people are a small minority.

By locking up the people who are the perpetrators of repeated violent crime you reduce the chance of it happening currently and because you have shown a commitment to hunt down and punish people like that you have prevented future crime.

The underlying cause of crime is the conviction that you will get away with it. Remove that conviction and you have reduced the number of people who commit crimes.

At this point the amount of criminal activity has been reduced to a level that it can be dealt with easily.
