Pete Sessions and Steve King requested that GAO update the 71 page report above, which is still the best info available. Trump referred to it in his immigration speech including mentioning the 25,000 criminal aliens charged with homicide.

Kick out the criminals immediately
I recall reading somewhere that each offender is likely to have multiple arrests.. so it's not three million of the eleven million we keep hearing that is the total ILLEGAL aliens. Just wanted to mention that so it does not look like virtually every other ILLEGAL alien is a criminal.
IMO the fact that the government and business made it no secret that they would not enforce the 1986 "reform" means the ILLEGAL aliens were invited to come on in!
IMO that should be a consideration and the government employees and businessmen the ones to be deported and fined. :)
