Immigrant ‘criminals’ Trump wants to deport only make up tiny fraction of migrants in US, analysis found
Trump has vowed to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in American history, starting by ejecting criminals. But they only make up a tiny group of the demographic, a report found.
Summary
Trump has pledged the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, focusing on undocumented migrants with criminal histories.
However, an analysis reveals only 0.47% of the 1.8 million immigration court cases in the past year involved deportation orders for crimes beyond illegal entry.
While over 400,000 undocumented immigrants have past criminal convictions, most will not face deportation until after completing sentences.
Research consistently shows migrants commit crimes at lower rates than U.S.-born citizens and have no correlation with rising local crime rates, despite Trump’s claims of public safety threats.
The analysis doesn't take into account the fact that Trump has decided that they're all criminals.
Or that they consider anyone who they don't want here to be an illegal immigrant. Doesn't matter if there is a federal law that grants legal status to the people in question, or that the constitution grants citizenship to those who are born here, Trump and pals don't like those rules so they should be able to ignore them.
My brother has stated the act of illegally crossing the border makes you a criminal, therefore youre a felon. While in essence true, that line of thinking brings out the worst of what "conservatism" has, lack of empathy for others
Not in essence true though. It's not a felony, it is a civil infraction, which is why it doesn't go through the regular criminal justice system.
Also they are all stark raving mad like the "late, great" Hannibal Lecter because he confuses asylum with insane asylum.
He's trying to employ one of them: Musk is an illegal immigrant accused of sexually assaulting women.
If you are the ones that make up the rules, then anyone can be a criminal.
We already jail or deport criminals.
Trump is just blowing his blow-horn with empty talk, and MAGA Americans think "He must really mean it, since he is shouting so loudly".
But he is insincere in everything, because he doesn't really give a shit about anything but himself.HEY I WILL MAKE EVERYTHING TWICE AS GOOD! I HAVE A PLAN, BUT IT IS SECRET!!
And the voters bought it?!?!?
