I don’t understand why immigrants are not deported when they have a felony conviction. I thought that was mandatory and one of the main reasons for deportation.
Two of the Hispanic group that was arrested in Greensboro after a criminal spree were charged with possession of a gun by a felon and they obviously are still in the U.S. This is why our immigration policy is so flawed. By not upholding the laws the authorities are more or less giving them the green light to do it again. Why weren’t they deported when first convicted of a felony?
Of course, it seems when they are deported, the same ones somehow make their way back the same way they came in and continue the same behavior they were deported for the first time. This criminal element is why we don’t want them here to begin with.
I am not speaking about the families that are hardworking (I have neighbors like this) and obey the laws and seem to really want to make a new life for themselves. They are contributing to the county and its improvement. The criminals aren’t contributing anything. They are taking away the security and peacefulness of the people and need to be stopped.
