which, I'd be quite surprised to find is true, the standards in play here are 'ever accused by authorities of a crime'. Not convicted. Arrested. And since Democrats never successfully 'decriminalized' border crossings (and failed in their messaging about the idea when it was being discussed a few years back), I think it's safe to say they'll deport anyone who can't prove they've permission to be here, and call that 'the crime'. So, I don't think the deportations are likely to significantly increase the % of criminals in Guatemala or Colombia, and if it does? Is your argument we should instead keep these people here?
