Isn’t it common sense that people breaking the law should get deported and go back to where they came from? For Pete’s sake, I wish people were more conservative about this!
The vast majority of people coming here are not “criminals”. Undocumented, yes, but that’s only because our system requires that before they can claim asylum.
On average, the US sees between 2 and 3 million immigrants a year.
The arrest rate of immigrants is less than 1%??? That incidence of crime is so much lower than American citizens we are effectively importing a lower crime rate.
OP, I implore you to go look them up for yourself. The thing you’re worried about is going to blow your mind how wrong you are.
Less than 1% of those coming in are actual criminals, it’s not counting the existing immigrant population, which is slightly higher, but still far lower than the domestic population.
That’s the thing:

You want to change the laws to prevent something that is, statistically, so low it doesn’t really happen.
