Arrests of illegal criminals jumps 250%

Ahhhh, music to my ears!! See what a little enforcement of the laws can do? First off, some of the worst out there are being deported, we simply don't need such criminals here. And in addition, many of the illegals are running scared, hiding - and better, it's made a HUGE change in those trying to come in illegally.

Arrests of illegal criminals jumps 250% in one week

As promised, immigration police have expanded their campaign to deport illegals with criminal records, announcing the seizure of 368 illegals in seven states and Washington, D.C.

That nearly a 250 percent increase over the 106 announced a week earlier.

The biggest seizures by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were in Texas, but they made arrests as far north as Wyoming.

What's more, they targeted members of the violent MS-13 gang and illegals charged with sex crimes against kids.

In one five-day campaign around Virginia and Washington, 82 illegals from 26 countries were arrested. ICE described them this way:

Of the 82 individuals arrested, 68 had previous criminal convictions for crimes like armed robbery, larceny and drug distribution. Of the remaining 14, two had ties to the MS-13 street gang; two had outstanding final orders of removal; three had overstayed their visas; one was wanted by a foreign law enforcement entity; one was a verified human rights violator and two had pending local charges. The remainder had unlawfully entered the United States in violation of U.S. immigration laws.

After arresting 158 in Texas, Daniel Bible, field office director for ERO in San Antonio, said, "ICE's primary immigration enforcement efforts target convicted criminal aliens. Consequently, our operations improve overall public safety by removing these criminals from our streets, and ultimately from our country."

The adminstration has been signaling that it plans to arrest more criminal illegals and deport them. The threats and action seem to have curbed the flow of illegal immigration across the border.

Good news!

I'd be interested to know what the correlation in crime statistics is.
Trump campaigned on dire scenarios, high crime, etc.

The reality is quite different.
I would think crime might drop in conjunction with these deportations. But that's an assumption. Let's consult the facts before we draw a conclusion.

So we're deporting people, in some cases the parents of U.S. citizens, rendering those citizens orphans. FABULOUS.

And now the party of "family values" is breaking up families too.
Well isn't that just a little extra special!?
