Illegal immigrants who commit crimes face lesser punishment than U.S. citizens
The Washington Examiner ^ | 24 June 2013 | Gabriela Morongiello

According to Sen. John McCain, a member of the Senate’s Gang of Eight, criminals will not be legalized under the proposed bipartisan immigration bill.

“Anyone who has committed crimes in this country is going to be deported,” the Arizona Republican declared on the Senate floor last week.

However, as Washington Examiner columnist Byron York recently reported, “the bottom line is an immigrant could have more than three misdemeanor convictions in his background check and still qualify for legalization.”

They also have to be forgiven the original crime, Entering Without Inspection, 8 USC 1325.

A laundry list of crimes that would normally put a citizen in prison for years.

Something about Equal Protection Under the Law, Mr. Rubio?

Oh that's right. In your country, laws are negotiable.

Oh pulleezze....the only person who is considered to be a bigger liar, buffoon, and general idiot in DC than the Obamadork is McQueeg.

Shove it McQueeg, deep and often, up your smelly Obama.

Yeah I was going to use his name, but McShame/RubiScam/Grahamnesty all seem to be equally vile at this point, so I have to kinda rotate through them.

Maybe we could have a single soundbite acronym for them...like say, the Treason Triangle.

Back when it was topical, we called them the Three Amigos, but that movie is 27 years gone now...and it was a different group. But still featured McQueeg and Lindsey Light in the Loafers.

It's amazing both of them are still there.

And that’s just the official, on the books forgiveness.

For example, in many states, illegals driving without licenses or insurance face no legal problems unless they kill someone. The police can’t contact ICE; they have more serious criminals to deal with than the illegal driver who hasn’t (yet) committed a big offense. Besides, prosecuting citizens for the same crimes is more profitable—they have stable identities and addresses, and therefore money can be extracted from them.

Re-entry after deportation is a solid felony. It stinks that no one is ever prosecuted for it

Illegal entry is a misdemeanor which shows what a joke this country is. It should have jacked up to felony ages ago. Coming here on a visa and not leaving when your visa is up>>> also a misdemeanor.

This list points to an end game for all the amnesties.

IF the law is passed, it should immediately be taken to court as a violation of the 14th amendment rights of ANYONE who has been charged with any of the law violations noted here.

I don't know where Congress gets the right to statutorially exempt an entire class of people from a law as an ex post facto act. It seems to be a violation of Equal Protection on its face.

The ACLJ, Judicial Watch and others should have a field day.

Yes.

Didn’t the Ninth Circus, within the past year or so, rule that a convicted kidnapper could not be deported automatically out of hand, upon the completion of his sentence?

McQueeg is a liar and cannot be trusted. But he said, "“Anyone who has committed crimes in this country is going to be deported,”
