Thread: SE Texas: Deportation of Criminal Aliens on Rise

Nationally, just over half of removals reported by ICE so far this year have involved "criminal aliens," which the agency defines as anyone convicted of a crime other than illegal entry.

If this is the definition, then 90% of adult illegals are "undocumented criminal aliens", who have all comitted felony ID and SSN theft or fraud, they have just not been documented and convicted of it yet.

Think the media would go for that term: "undocumented criminal alien"?

Come to think of it, wouldn't it be better for local and state governments to prosecute the illegals for their document crimes, rather than immigration crimes? That way they would be a "criminal alien", and have to be deported by the feds? The feds could not complain or refuse since this is their policy?
Also if they are convicted criminals their anchors could not sponsor them for a green card when the anchor turned 21?
