Yeah, this might be a problem:
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released 36,007 convicted criminal aliens last year who were awaiting the outcome of deportation proceedings, according to a report issued Monday by the Center for Immigration Studies.Estimates vary on the number of people who live in the United States without documentation, i.e., illegally, but the assumption is about 10-12 million. There's no way that we'd be able to round up and deport all of them, which is why some form of immigration reform is going to happen eventually. Still, one would think that we could keep people who are convicted of crimes incarcerated. Apparently not.
The group of released criminals includes those convicted of homicide, sexual assault, kidnapping and aggravated assault, according to the report, which cites a document prepared by the ICE.
A majority of the releases were not required by law and were discretionary, the organization says.
According to the report, the 36,007 individuals released represented nearly 88,000 convictions, including:
193 homicide convictions
426 sexual assault convictions
303 kidnapping convictions
1,075 aggravated assault convictions
1,160 stolen vehicle convictions
9,187 dangerous drug convictions
16,070 drunk or drugged driving convictions
303 flight escape convictions

What would the reaction be if a decision was made to release 36,000 Domestic naturalized criminals in to the population? People are going to be robbed, people are going to get hooked on drugs and flush thier lives away, and people will be murdered because these criminals were released. Any one of us could be victimized.
The crazy thing about all of these 12 million illegals is that the government KNOWS exactly who and where at least 9 million of them are (and one suspects the rest are family). And we don't NEED to deport them all. When a couple of states passed laws requiring that employers do a mandatory federal check, droves of people "self-deported." All we have to do is make that federal law and at least half of them would just "go away." The rest we could simply issue "guest worker" cards and start collecting taxes. So long as they stayed out of trouble, they could live and work here for some limited time.
