Okay, this begs a question. If 400k were deported for committing serious crimes, then how many were allowed to stay? After all, just being here without documentation/ permission is a crime in itself, or has ICE forgotten that part of their job.
Obama will invite those deported to the White House for a cocaine summit soon enough' he needs their votes as he runs a third term.
