    Yes, because dumping illegal alien criminal shitbags back into their own

Fwiw, it does appear they're going after the 'bad actors' first, but
even that has an ominous ring to it.

 So we should keep other countries' murderers and rapists, and allow them to
potentially victimize American citizens in the future when we're in a position
to prevent it, because of some old poem that gives you the goosebumps?
 

We have laws that address crime. Deportation seems like an end-run.

 They're ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!!
 For fuck's sake...

What I object to is an attempt to synonymize 'illegal alien' with 'murderer' and 'rapist'.  Especially inasmuch as:
    "The offending rates of undocumented immigrants were consistently lower than both U.S.-born citizens and documented immigrants for assault, sexual assault, robbery, burglary, theft, and arson."
As we throw out more and more of these people, let's not pretend our protectionism is about "making America safe".
