Crime is sad and crazy. Crime exists, and you rightly point that both citizens and people with student visas commit crimes.
You fail to point out the obvious and very important fact that it is the job of all of the law enforcement agencies to reduce the exposure to crime of the American people, and others present on American soil, to crime.
Even if the crime rate is the same as others inhabiting America among those with lapsed visas, is it not the responsibility of those keeping us safe to eliminate that part population where risk is present? I don’t think that it is up to us as to who will be subject to the equal administration of the law.
It is certainly not up to you to decide who gets the exercise of the law, whether it is BLM or any other group of favored individuals.
@MarthannBann888 A lot of the people deported had NO criminal records, furthermore, Trump pardoned Jan 6th rioters whom at least 6 different people pardoned went on to commit crimes against children or had child prn on their stuff.
I'd like to mention that Trump wants to pardon other too, many have cases of fraud.
@SatanBurger President Joe Biden announced a series of last-minute pardons before leaving office Monday, granting preemptive pardons to some family members and other GOP foes
Biden's siblings and their spouses: Biden issued pardons for his brothers James Biden and Francis Biden, sister Valerie Biden Owens, sister-in-law Sara Jones Biden and brother-in-law John Owens.
Gerald Lundergan: Lundergan is a former Kentucky state legislator convicted in 2019 on campaign finance charges. The White House wrote that he "demonstrated remorse."
Ernest William Cromartie: A former Columbia, South Carolina, councilman, Cromartie pleaded guilty in 2010 to tax evasion charges.
Leonard Peltier: Biden commuted the sentence of the Native American rights activist, who was convicted of killing two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 1975.
Anthony Fauci: Fauci was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infection Diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic in Trump's first administration. He was the target of right-wing criticism over his stance on vaccines and the origin of the pandemic.
Mark Milley: Milley was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Trump's first presidency. He has said Trump is a fascist and a "wannabe dictator."
Members and staff of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol: Lawmakers involved in the final report were Chair Bennie Thompson, Vice Chair Liz Cheney, Zoe Lofgren, Adam Schiff, Pete Aguilar, Stephanie Murphy, Jamie Raskin, Elaine Luria and Adam Kinzinger.
Marcus Mosiah Garvey: Garvey's 1923 mail fraud conviction led to his imprisonment and eventual deportation. Advocates have long argued that the case was driven by political motives aimed at silencing his activism. Biden's pardon acknowledges this historical injustice.
Ravidath "Ravi" Ragbir: Convicted in 2001, Ragbir is now a well-known advocate for immigrant and faith communities. His conviction was for a non-violent offense, but he was sentenced to two years and six months in prison. Since his release, Ragbir "has advocated for vulnerable immigrant communities and families in New York and New Jersey," according to the White House.
Don Leonard Scott, Jr.: Scott was previously convicted of a nonviolent drug offense in 1994 and was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment, according to the White House. After his release, he worked as an attorney and went on to be elected to the Virginia Legislature in 2019. He became the first Black speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates in 2024.
Kemba Smith Pradia: Pradia was convicted of a nonviolent drug offense in 1994 and was sentenced to 24 years in prison. She is a criminal justice advocate, and former President Bill Clinton commuted her sentence in 2000.
Darryl Chambers: Convicted in 1998 of a nonviolent drug offense, Chambers was sentenced to 17 years' imprisonment. Chambers founded the Center for Structural Equity and is also the executive director of the Youth Empowered to Strive and Succeed Program.
Biden previously and controversially pardoned his son, Hunter Biden.
@sunsporter1649 But Trump is actively campaigning about being "tough on crime," despite his actions of pardoning people who got it for fraud and Jan 6th rioters who like to diddle children.
That's literally why the deportations are happening without due process so this is in context related to that.
What you're trying to do is something like "oh yeah I'll show you look at Biden." But that's out of context as no one is arguing that Biden never made good or bad decisions. That's not the real argument and no one is denying nor arguing with you about it.
Trump ran under "tough on crime," so why does he back criminals?
@sunsporter1649 My comment is in context due to the OP's original comment, your comment is out of context.
MarthannBann888 · 70-79, F Sad and crazy?

This is what I replied with:

So you are willing to be soft on crime, as opposed to hard on crime, eh?
Hey honey, if Trump runs a hard on crime policy and he pardons people convicted of fraud and child molesters, what does this say to you? Come on honey, think.
@WowwGirl One of the best doctors I had was from India, I think he was legal in my case but in all my years, he was one of the best doctors I've ever had.
