Who's "they?" There are illegals who come to the USA and don't commit many
other illegal offenses, and there are illegals who go on crime sprees.
There's no "they do this" or "they do that," but breitbart says 9 out of 10
don't show up for hearings; illegals aren't dumb, they know how to exploit
the USA.

The USA has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world - but that's
not printed in the travel brochures. We have thousands of our own citizens &
residents in cages, many for misdemeanor offenses. Do we let foreigners get
away with stuff that we don't let our own people get away with?
