Do you agree or disagree that immigrants with criminal records should be allowed into the US?
Do you agree that illegal immigrants who commit crimes in the US should be allowed to come back in? I don’t. We have enough criminals of our own to rehabilitate. Tough luck if they have ‘anchor babies’ here. They should have thought of that before having them. We need these losers like we need a hole in the head. So, what do you think?

Sorry, but those who are here illegally did so with full knowledge of what they were doing. They are in violation of US law and need to pay the consequence for that violation. Should every current citizen break a federal law? No. Would we be given a "pass" because our situation is "not fair"? No. We’d pay the price.
As far as separating families, again having children here should not mean an automatic pass for anyone to stay. Any adult who is not here legally should be deported and so should their children; why? Because as adults and parents, our decisions directly affect our children; if someone chooses to rob a bank and get thrown in jail, their kids pay the price. Fair or not, that’s the way it is.
Come here legally. Stop crossing the border and then bally-hooing for equal rights.
Absolutely not. I don’t want to pay for their meals and expenses when they go to prison in the US. I’m already paying for their children’s free healthcare.
NO! We do not need anymore filth, we have enough citizens that can play that role. Secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws!
No we have enough issues with legal citizens. We do not need to fill our jails with illegal immigrants.
I think any crimminal immigrant or not should be punished and no I don’t believe the ones that do continue to return should be allowed back. It would be difficult to track them down if they are not in our system. However good point I think if we do capture them doing something illegal they should be placed in our jails and do their time.But again thats taxpayers money but in the long run if we just continue to send them back again they will return.
of course they should. Were not the white illegal immigrants back in the 1500s,1600s, etc criminals when they were killing the native americans? If this was the case, whites should go back to europe.
i don’t think they should be allowed. it’s bad enough that we have citizens here that are criminals.
Hell no. Get rid of those f-in specks…………………………………………….get them out of our COUNTRY NOW
NO!
I say we build a prison on the border, If an illegal is caught they are subject to 90 days hard labor building our wall. Then to pay for the materials, We seize all the illegals property and vehicles, and that of anyone crossing. If that’s not enough we stop paying Mexico to combat crime "1 billion" and use that. If caught a second time he is subject to 6 months hard time. Anyone caught with drugs is an automatic 1 year.
There must be a consequence for their action or they will keep coming.
no. we already have too many criminals here there is not enough room in prisons to house them.
I dont even think that people with criminal records can apply for any sort of visa or permit to come to the US, its like an automatic denial.
They are worried about illegal aliens not coming forward to report a crime. What about the safety of the American citizens? Houston’s largest police union, frustrated by the shootings of two officers by illegal immigrants, wants an end to the department’s 17-year-old policy of not questioning residents about their immigration status.
Such a change would put Houston at odds with the state’s five other major city police departments — Austin, El Paso, Fort Worth, Dallas and San Antonio.
Gary Blankinship, president of the Houston Police Officers Union, said the September 2006 murder of officer Rodney Johnson and the severe injuries suffered by officer Rick Salter on March 5 are reasons to toughen immigration enforcement, including an end to the policy. Both officers were shot by illegal immigrants who had been deported from Houston, but returned to commit other crimes.
“It’s a strong issue,” Blankinship said. “My guys get tired of dealing with the criminal aliens out here, and it seems like the severity of the crimes is escalating and that’s frustrating to the rank and file.”
He stressed that calls for a change in the policy are not aimed at a wholesale roundup of illegal immigrants in Houston, a population the Greater Houston Partnership estimated last year at 420,000 in the 10-county Houston metropolitan area. It would help officers to weed out dangerous criminals in the undocumented community, he said.
Frank Michel, a spokesman for Mayor Bill White, said the administration has no plans to change a policy it considers crucial to policing city neighborhoods.
“We need people to be confident in Houston police officers and have them step forward to report crime, and be willing to step forward as witnesses,” Michel said.
In the aftermath of the murder of officer Johnson, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office and Houston police received federal training so jailers can access immigration computer databases to identify immigration violators.
“What the mayor has said repeatedly is the police have to focus on what they do best, solving crimes and protecting our neighborhoods,” Michel said. “He also has asked that the federal agencies in charge of enforcing immigration law get more resources, so they can do their jobs.”
Few are prosecuted
Lawrence Rushton, a Houston immigration attorney, said the great majority of illegal immigrants are not prosecuted on federal criminal charges when they are detained away from the border area.
Although improper entry to the country is a federal misdemeanor offense punishable by a maximum six-month jail sentence and a $250 fine, in practice most cases result in civil deportation proceedings, he said.
Rushton and officials at other large Texas police departments said reversing policies that prohibit questioning of residents about their immigration status would decrease public safety by discouraging residents to report crimes.
They also said it could open up cities to charges of racial profiling if ethnic groups were singled out for scrutiny.
“I do a lot of work with battered spouses and children, and one of the hardest things is to convince them that Houston police will not arrest them, or deport them, if they come forward and report the crime,” Rushton said.
“If they change this policy, and even if they say they’re not going to arrest a woman who is the victim of domestic abuse, if they arrest her cousin for being here without papers, I’ll never convince them to come in to report this crime.”
