The only reason that illegals are allowed to stay in the States in because they are likely future Democrat voters. If Democrats started supporting the removal of these criminals, then that would anger the families and hurt their popularity. It literally is as simple as that.
The solution is just as simple, but we have politicians with no balls or gravitas who care more about money and power than they do about doing the right thing.
if republicans on ATS would start researching the actual websites that this crap is taken from, and comparing them to actual government data, they might not jump on the bandwagon so fast.....

This is a side affect of bad economics, big banks and war. it isn't this person or him or her or you or I, trying to make a buck to live. We didn't do this to each other, although that would be the narrative sometimes.
I blame the government and big corporations. It's all about the money for the rich.

What's wrong with Mexico fixing their own problems instead of running from them. Why come here and try and change this country if you can't even fix your own?

There are an estimated 11.2 million undocumented immigrants in the US
PEW
So you're saying less than 3.10% of all illegal immigrants are criminals.
We also have to consider that many of those would be minor crimes, and many arrests and convictions may also be driven by racism and political interests, in a similar way to the increase of arrests for black Americans compared to white.

Do you think it's the people changing the country or do you think it's government's. People in general aren't the problem, although some are misinformed deliberately to protect the status quo.
Think about it, in related terms, is that border there to protect us or to protect those in power and they're system, because obviously the system isn't doing a very good job at protecting anything but.
