Illegal immigrants with criminal records, the deportation priority of President-elect Trump, total at least 820,000, with most having felony and serious misdemeanor convictions, according to a new report.
Some estimates have suggested up to two million criminal illegals, but the numbers cited by the Center for Immigration Studies still show an enormous group larger than the populations of four states, Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont or Wyoming.
The immigration think tank cited numbers from the Urban Institute. That group downplayed the crimes and also questioned deporting any of those who are parents of children who might get left behind.
"Some estimates say that there are only 820,000 undocumented immigrants with criminal records in the country, including 690,000 with a felony or serious misdemeanor conviction," said that report.

ReplyDeleteIs a kid better off with a criminal dad, who will probably spend a great deal of time behind bars, or without a dad. I would have to say the later. At least without a dad a good influence may step in to take up the slack!

DeleteIf they were born here then unfortunately they are citizens but if they were brought here as children no matter the age 2days or 20 years if a felony parent is deported then kick the whole family out.
ReplyDeleteWhere are all the supporters of illegal immigrants saying, "Who will cut your grass", or "who will pick your crops"? Sickening. A trip to your local WalMart will make you think you are in a foreign country. More Spanish spoken than English.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't respect a law not allowing you into a country by legal means, then you don't respect laws period.
Build the wall, they are not wanted!
Americans need to educate themselves and forget about the fairy tales we were told in grade school.
ReplyDeleteThe US government is an evil construct to enslave the population on behalf of the richest people on the planet.
This "illegal immigration" is deliberate.
They are destroying our culture and way of life on purpose.
Wake up. The government is not "us". It is "them".
Enemy of the People.
"Only" 820,000??
ReplyDeleteONLY!?
That is, by the way, about 16,400 per state.
Keep cheering.
Need the good illegals to be on the path to citizenship and assimilation...the bad ones can pound sand in good old Mexico or whatever south American country they are from!!!!
