NYT Says We Should Keep Criminal Aliens Here Because Deporting Them Makes Communities ‘Less Safe’

In the latest episode of legacy-media mental gymnastics, The New York Times argues that deporting criminal aliens somehow makes American communities less safe.

The article, written by Tim Arango, Hamed Aleaziz, and Miriam Jordan, first suggested that deporting criminal aliens is problematic because they might return to the United States “and commit more crimes.”

(say what?)

Of course, that hypothetical assumes that the migrant could get back in, which would be a lot harder now that President Donald Trump has effectively shut down the southern border. The theory that the criminal migrant will return and “commit more crimes” only holds water if you plan on reopening the border — which may be what Democrats do if they win in 2028.

Of course, that hypothetical assumes that the migrant could get back in, which would be a lot harder now that President Donald Trump has effectively shut down the southern border. The theory that the criminal migrant will return and “commit more crimes” only holds water if you plan on reopening the border — which may be what Democrats do if they win in 2028.

One Massachusetts district attorney told the Times that ICE’s actions were, as described by The Times, “making the community less safe and making it more difficult to reduce crime.”

More shocking was the report from the New York Post’s Jennie Taer that explained how an illegal migrant “accused of raping a pre-teen child” was allowed to “walk free on bail.” Roughly two months later, ICE officers located and arrested 28-year-old Bryan Daniel Aldana-Arevalo. And who could forget when New York City released several alien suspects on bail despite their allegedly beating police officers in Times Square?

At the end of the day, The Times is simply repackaging law enforcement action as a moral crisis. Framing ICE as the antagonist, violent offenders as victims, and the enforcement of immigration law as a threat to justice isn’t journalism; it’s narrative management.

Even IF the criminal comes back and commits more crimes, at least while he’s gone and trying to make his way back into the US, he’s not committing crimes in this country.

So even in the NYT’s worst case scenario there’s less crime than leaving the illegal alien criminals here to roam the streets unhindered.

Crazy, braided up pretzel logic.
They know it’s nonsense. They even know that you know it’s nonsense. They are hoping you don’t want to be called
‘Phobic’ or Racist. Those words used to be Scarlet Letters, with One Size fitting all occasions. Now, not so much.
Overuse of those Cards has built up an immunity in General Population.

That’s 2024 border control thinking, not the new and improved and 2025 border control.

Again I ask, why does it take 3 people to write every story nowadays. I took journalism in college and it was rare to see 2 people write a story together. Yes, I know there were some 2 person teams but that was not the rule.

If we deport all the illegal immigrant criminals, the communities will be less safe because the cops won’t learn how to stop crime! We need those criminals to keep the cops well trained.

It should be federal felony, punishable for at least a year? in prison, to return to the USA, once you were deported!
Trump promised that in 2017, but I am not sure what is the status of this.
Generally, deportation is a major judicial act and defying it should be definitely punished by some jail time, in the US or in El Salvador.
