[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Scum like this is why they are arresting those with no criminal records - yet.  
Six illegal aliens took the life of this mother.  Three are juveniles.  Truly disgusting.

• Those arrested include three juveniles — ages 13, 14 and 15 — who have not been identified because of their age.
—— Along with Jeyson Sobied Pineda-Salgado, 17, Jarby Ardon Ramos-Odari, 18, and Asael Aminadas Torres-Chirinos, 21, they are charged with murder, attempted armed robbery and second-degree burglary.

No one has a problem with violent criminals being jailed and/or deported. No one. How many times do we have to repeat it. I'll shout it from the rooftops: NO ONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH VIOLENT CRIMINALS BEING DEPORTED.

So we agree. But now you have to address the FACTS:

1) Study after study after study show that illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes than US citizens, that crime rates go DOWN as immigrant populations grow.

* American Immigration Council. (n.d.). Debunking the Myth of Immigrants and Crime. 
*Jácome, E., et al. (2023). Law-Abiding Immigrants: The Incarceration Gap Between Immigrants and the U.S.-born, 1850–2020. National Bureau of Economic Research Working Paper No. 31448.
*Light, M. T., & Miller, T. (2020). Comparing crime rates between undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants, and native-born US citizens in Texas. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 117(49), 30931-30937.

If you actually care about crime, targeting illegal immigrants is not the way to fix it.

2) ICE is not targeting criminals! As OP says, they are going after the easy targets:  law-abinging citizens with predictable routines on the way to work; kids on the way to school; mothers picking up US citizens kids form school.

Those of us who do care about crime realize that deporting these people is absolutely not helping.
