One reason is that when they sweep for the criminals, they encounter other illegals. What are they supposed to do, ignore them?
Good point.
So a load of narcotics and illegal weapons and cash from robberies is found in the place where the one guy on the warrant was hiding. So judge would rule they have to ignore the evidence and not allow anything in court referring to any of it. Maybe a young child on the scene as the ones at the marijuana operation would have to be overlooked.
The premise that the editorialist is trying to sell is idiotic.
They aren’t all convicted...yet. But all are criminals.
They are ILLEGALS. They do not belong here. They arre economically destructive even if their only offenses are to have entered illegally and to have sucked up tons of taxpayer mney supporting them. Send them home or to some other hellhole of their choice.
Precisely this.
1. Everyone here illegally is “an illegal”. Thus, by definition, a criminal.
2. There is broad agreement that the worst actors are the ones to be targeted first for removal. Nonetheless, when targeting the worst actors, necessarily, some otherwise “peaceful” (?) criminals will be gathered up. Once they are in the net, so to speak, they need to get the boot.
3. Next!
Yea, if they allowed ICE to work the jails and state prisons the sweeps would be unnecessary and fewer non-criminal illegal aliens would be cough up in enforcement actions.
The "Resistance" movement is loaded with idiots. Keep it up fools.
Oh dear....only half are criminals...like that’s a bad thing?
But of course! (:
That’s why these left wing articles are stupid.
Note the use of the pharase “convicted criminals.” This is significant for two reasons.
1. How many are criminals but not caught and brought to court for prosecution and conviction or innocent.
2. The moment they crossed the border illegally was a criminal act. The premise of the article is that illegal crossing is not a criminal act and they are not criminal until they commit a second felony. Most are economic refugees with a small but hyper deadly portion of hardened criminals. The article is left wing propaganda or as we prefer to say in Texas, Bull S—t!
PS
I am a white boy raised on the border that speaks Spanish and married to a Mexican from Mexico now a US citizen the legal way. She came here as a student and has more than one degree from our Universities. Last job was software engineer. She found the American Dream and ran with it.
The sanctuary cities need to open up the prisons to ICE if the want this to change.
