I say they are all criminals if they crossed our border illegally.

So does the law. Anyone aiding and abetting illegals is commiting a crime.

If you are asking about how our laws are being enforced, it is reasonable to understand who is being deported. People are understandably especially upset that we have some 800,000 or so people known and scheduled for deportation because they have commited non-immigration crimes, but we have turned them loose.

So, if you say it's just as good to deport 10,000 "criminals" whose only offense is crossing the border illegally as it is to deport 10,000 "criminals" who have committed rape or murder, you aren't being realistic. And you would be angry if it were the government saying so

Similarly, if your local police force boasted of arresting 1000 "criminals" this year (999 speeders and 1 burglar) v. only 500 "criminals" last year (all burglars), you would cry BS.

It's a good thing to KNOW how deportations are going. Frankly, I'd like to see all the murderers and thugs we've caught deported first, but I'm fine with deporting either type. I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with knowing the background of those we're deporting.
