Criminal illegals don't deserve breaks
I am still waiting for an avalanche of letters on Friday's (May 19) article about an illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic who was convicted of trafficking in crack cocaine and heroin. He "checked with immigration officials and believes he will not be deported as a result of the conviction."
Did I miss something in this story? An illegal alien is convicted of a serious crime and he is not deported.

Senate passage of its immigration bill by a 62-36 vote on Thursday sets up a confrontation with the House, where many lawmakers equate the citizenship offer with amnesty.
