Time and time again, liberals try to tell us that President Trump is only interested in tearing apart families and punishing non-violent criminal illegal aliens.
Not the case. Not the case AT ALL.
According to ICE, 90% of the illegals they arrested last year already had criminal convictions or pending charges. In other words, they’re not laying low and trying to provide for their families. Those illegal immigrants are breaking the law in more ways than one.
Despite claims that ICE agents are rounding up “innocent” illegal immigrants, the agency’s records show that some 90 percent of all arrests last year had criminal convictions or were wanted on charges.
Just a bit over 10 percent had no known criminal convictions or charges.
In other words, the Trump administration is targeting exactly who it claimed it would: Violent criminals and gang members.
90% = the VAST MAJORITY, libs. To make matters worse for libs, data suggests that the Obama administration arrested more non-criminal (you know what I mean) illegal aliens than Trump’s administration.
A new analysis of data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement done by the Pew Research Center not only popped claims that big percentages of non-criminal illegals were being arrested, but it showed that former President Obama’s administration was much more guilty of arresting non-criminal illegals. Pew titled their report, “Most immigrants arrested by ICE have prior criminal convictions, a big change from 2009.”
Here’s a handy little chart:
More details:
Immigrants with past criminal convictions accounted for 74 percent of all arrests made by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in fiscal 2017, according to data from the agency. The remainder were classified as “non-criminal” arrestees, including 16 percent with pending criminal charges and 11 percent with no known criminal convictions or charges.
The profile of ICE arrestees has changed considerably in the past eight years: In fiscal 2009, the earliest year with comparable data, immigrants without past criminal convictions accounted for the majority (61 percent) of those arrested by the agency.
It’s a pretty big change, if you ask me. Just something to note. Spread the word. Tell you liberal friends.
