President Donald Trump said Congress must quickly pass legislation that would permit the deportation of illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes after the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that current law was unconstitutionally vague.

"This is a public safety crisis that can only be fixed by Congress - House and Senate must quickly pass a legislative fix to ensure violent criminal aliens can be removed from our
society," Trump said on Twitter.

Yes, he's right of course. We've known this for months. Unfortunately we don't have the votes to pass the legislation we need to fix many of these immigration law problems. There are many loopholes that must be filled along with other changes as well. Trump has a 71 point plan to fix our immigration system, enforce the law and secure the border. That was all in his DACA "deal" we opposed.

President Trump Calls for Amnesty for Illegal Aliens to Solve Catch & Release

Believe the Supreme Court ruling was for legal immigrants that have committed crimes and of what severity.

It's been my experience that burglaries aren't considered serious crimes, they get probation here. After they get caught 3 times, then they'll maybe serve a little time. Honestly, I don't understand why a green card holder would face deportation over a burglary, a green card holder is a legal permanent resident. Not clear on why Sessions is wasting his time on Supreme Court Rulings that will now impact the issue of due process for illegal aliens and serious felon immigrants over a legal permanent resident who committed a residential burglary and stole some silver, a TV or whatever.

Foreigners receiving the right to live in USA should not be involved in any crimes. It is a privilege to be here and criminal activity should revoke that privilege. Robbing homes of personal belongings is enough, stealing a candy bar from a store is not. Many people has been killed at robberies gone bad. What is next, finding a child asleep during a break in and doing what, kidnapping, molesting. Entering and thieving is not a minor thing in my mind especially for someone given a chance to live in a better country than the one they left.

Federal authorities ordered Dimaya deported after he was convicted in two California home burglaries, in 2007 and 2009, though neither crime involved violence. He received a two-year prison sentence for each conviction.

In the state of North Carolina a first degree burglary is a Class D Felony and with no prior criminal record could net you 64 to 80 months behind bars. If you have a prior criminal conviction the sentencing could be much tougher.

A second degree burglary is a Class G Felony and could net you 10 to 13 months when there is no previous criminal record present.

Sort of strange that you would direct a negative comment at AG Session for attempting to do exactly what we want him to do and that is to go after all immigrant criminals (legal & illegal). I commend him and hope he continues to do whatever he can to rid us of all legal immigrants that purposely commit crimes beyond traffic violations and all illegal aliens for just being here illegally.

Personally I view burglary as a serious and potentially violent crime. Break my window or bust my sliding glass door to force your way into my private dwelling to steal my valuables, some that may have been in my family for generations, is very serious to me! Oh, and once your in my house you will also probably attempt to break into my gun safe that is wells stocked. What is there to then stop you from going on and using one of those weapons in a future robbery. Furthermore, how do we know there wasn't a gun stuck in the burglars waistband when he broke in? What if I would have arrived at my house unexpectedly, would he have shot me? What if my dog would have came out barking, would he have shot him? Burglary of a house always has the potential of turning violent.

Well, it's up to Congress now to fix this fast so we can deport these criminals.

My experience was with commercial burglaries of a business, maybe they're harsher on residential burglaries, but don't know why they would be. I've had 18 prosecuted and they all got probation, 3 years or less. Very disappointing as a property owner. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of theft and damage including vandalism. As I wail at the hearing, what about the damage and loss, judge says tell your insurance company. Cops said until they have their 3rd felony, there is no jail time.

My point on Sessions is that with 30 million illegal aliens to deport out of here, why risk a bad ruling at the US Supreme Court over a non-violent burglary by a legal permanent resident that can now make it difficult to deport the illegal aliens??!! Makes no sense to me. But it is what it is. Call the Congress to fix it fast while we have enough Republicans in the House to pass a bill and pray we can get it passed by the Senate .... oh wait, we'll never get 60 votes in the Senate, so call that plan .... DOOMED.

What a mess!

GRRRR!!!!
