Deportation of undesirables is one of the most important services that the federal government offers. How is it that this is no longer the case? I know they check legal immigrants for tuberculosis, but apparently we allow undesirables back into our population. Immigration and Customs Enforcement just released thousands of criminals from detention. How is this good for the US?
Are we now the Australia of old, a penal colony? Send us “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” hell, send us your murders too.
Do the immigration policies need amending? Yes.
Should we allow violent criminals free to wander the streets? No!
Why is there no middle ground here President Obama? Are these things more nuanced then the headlines show? Probably, but we should never let known foreign criminals loose in our country.
In today’s world, everything is viewed with the post 9/11 frame of mind: terrorism and nothing else.
We have become blind to other national security risks. Does not serial robbery, serial rape, murder, and many other crimes count as National security? National security is not only about terrorist attacks. National security is also about keeping crime down, and keeping our citizenry safe. If crime rates increase due to immigrants that is a serious security concern, which could have been dealt with.
Apparently to some, the possibility of a vote is worth unleashing dangerous criminals onto the American people.
