Thread: CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK

Criminal Background check to qualify for legal status will not bring criminals out of the shadows. This will drive then further into the shadows and into criminal activity.
They will still have to be found and that can be costly. When they are found, what will we do with them? What will be criteria used to be classified as a criminal?
All illegals that are criminals do not have a criminal background as many gang members that have not be caught and convicted of a crimes. How do we get a credible criminal background check from counties they are from and will those countries co-operate?
This bill has to be downsized because there are too many things to implement and too costly and will take years to enforce. In that time many things will not be implemented or changed.
What needs to be done first and many nothing else will have to happen is;
stop business from hiring illegals
repeal the automatic birthright citizenship
close the border and
stay with legal immigration to meet our need to fill jobs.
For this to be a nation of immigrants we need to immigration people of all nations and not just south of the border.

I know we can't get them all out but it makes the most common sense to deport those who commit ANY crime. Most of these thugs will be in trouble at some point anyway so as we catch them, DEPORT them and NEVER allow them back in the country. We can't get them all but most of them will break laws . . .of course outside of breaking the major law of being illegal.

Your Right many many have no history of criminal activity
And if they are from south America do you really think there Government would give us the information and they do not keep records as well as we do. Many criminals are only charged for what they did what they are caught for … this is my opinion – can you imagine how much they have gotten away with??? And not charged

WILL THIS BE COUNTED PART OF THE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND THAT WILL BE COUNTED AGAINST ILLEGALS OR DO THEY HAVE TO CONVICTED?

Since 1929, illegal entry into the United States has been a federal crime, a misdemeanor.
The penalty for a first offense is up to six months in jail or prison and/or a fine of $50 to $250. But the charge is rarely used, even when people are caught at the border, according to a Congressional Research Service report on May 3. Most are deported or allowed to leave the U.S. voluntarily to avoid overwhelming courts and detention centers, the report said.
Applying the misdemeanor offense in the interior of the U.S. is even rarer, the report said. The most common charge against those caught without authorization in the U.S. is "unlawful presence," a civil offense. The penalty is removal, and an immigrant can be detained in the meantime.
The report said illegal entry is difficult to prosecute in the interior because it must be proved, not just inferred, that the person entered illegally. Overstaying a visa is also a civil offense, which can be grounds for removal or denial of entry back into the U.S.
The most serious charge is illegal re-entry — returning to the U.S. after being deported. The penalty is as much as 20 years in prison for someone who also has a serious criminal conviction.

WHY WOULD WE THINK ANY OF THE BILL WILL BE ENFORCED.
