    She was a dreamer with a dream.........a dream of making as much money as a doctor by violating U.S. Human Smuggling laws. Even if she did that one a month for a year she would have made almost $50K a year for working 1 day a week. Nice work if you can get it. Did I mention the money was tax free? It's time DACA came to an end. The President needs to cancel Obama's foolish DACA executive order. Deport her and let her follow the law and immigrate here legally. There are plenty of good law abiding immigrants who want to follow our laws and immigrate here in accordance with the law.

    Hmmm.

    Hundreds of thousands of DACA and the Republicans find ONE!, yes, just ONE who was abusing the privilege!

    That is not a bad mark on the DACA program, it means the progam was wildly successful!

    Even our President can keep his minions out of jail for a year!

    The DACA people names, addresses, job and everything else. Immigration has a gold mine if they were grabbing illegals into America.

    Yet the immigration say all they can the can find is one!

    The DACA people apparently are very well behaved.

    I don't think you've been listening, many of us have wanted ALL of them gone since Obama created that unconstitutional program. This is just one more example of the what a disgrace that program became. A safehouse for criminal activity, on top of the criminal activity that brought them here in the first place and was ignored...

    Sounds like DACA and the LEO are working.

    Here we go again from the American-hating bigots: Undocumented people are a bunch of criminals.
    MYTH: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION LEADS TO VIOLENT CRIME

    REALITY: Trump frequently highlights violence by the “savage” MS-13 gang, saying in his speech Tuesday that it operates in at least 20 states and “they almost all come through our southern border.”

    He invokes that gang, whose members come predominantly from El Salvador or are U.S. citizens descended from there, to portray immigrants as criminals. Widespread crime makes it harder, of course, to run a business, spend money and engage in the daily transactions that keep an economy humming.

    But there is scant evidence that immigrants are perpetuating a crime wave. In a paper published last year, sociologists Michael Light and Ty Miller reviewed crime in every state and the District of Columbia from 1990 to 2014. They found that a rising number of immigrants in the country illegally corresponded with a drop, not a rise, in reported crime.

    The authors acknowledged that it’s possible that people who came illegally are less likely to report a crime. But the authors also note that such immigrants overwhelmingly arrived to work, a trend that helps to reduce crime levels. Past research cited in their paper found that 93 percent of the men in the country illegally either have a job or are looking for one.

    “At a minimum, the results of our study call into question claims that undocumented immigration increases violent crime,” their paper concluded. “If anything, the data suggest the opposite.”

    No evidence for that of 'crimes' as you are suggesting.

    ONE was trying to turn into many.

    While I find it entertaining to see you call them criminals after resorting to name-calling, the truth is that gangs do strengthen their numbers through illegal immigration. (Hint: Illegal means against the law, making it a crime.)

    It is not a myth that illegal immigration leads to violent crime. Females crossing the border are given birth control because of the likelihood of being raped.

    What if the lady in this article refused to pay her debt to the "smuggling organization"? Do you think these criminal organizations just write it off?

    One would have to believe that rape is not a violent crime and that unreported crime against illegal aliens means it is not happening.

    There needs to be far, far more than one to competently support the premise that DACA immigrants are overwhelmingly criminal in behavior.

    Speaking of illegal behavior .......Hint: Illegal means against the law, making it a crime......, what about lawbreaking employers, like Open Borders Donnie, who has a long history of hiring undocumented workers? Prosecuting criminals like Open Borders Donnie will go a long way in resolving illegal immigration.

    So now you support enforcing our laws? Perhaps you think I am a Trump supporter and that I want to let employers off the hook for their criminal behavior. They should face charges and big fines.

    If 1/2 of all gang bangers are illegal aliens, the other half must be Hispanics or blacks.
    Anchor baby gang bangers seem to be included with American Hispanic gangsters.

    What? So ALL gang bangers are either illegals or blacks/Hispanic? No white gang bangers at all?

    Yeah, right.

    People should see that this Washington Post "article" is actually a opinion piece, and utterly full of Trumpian BS!

    Rape, murder, and yet later on the list is very petty offenses or utterly trivial issues. A kid getting on a gang list can be gotten by several kids simply walking down street, or riding skateboards in group of 3 means you're a "gang"! Then do it again and the kid gets a misdemeanor. Third time can be felony! Seen it and defended a few kids getting railroaded.

    That story has no meaning facts or numbers except to terrify the dummies who have no ability to see facts, or the fact thereof!

    FAIL!

    Probably? In light of your previous posts, you'll need to prove that, if you won't there is simply no sense in responding to your "opinion" posts.

    I did not make any such posts, so please don't say such things. You made an assertion you cannot substantively prove. You have one example. One.

    I'm sure you can read the thread. Someone else already posted the statistics, you may want to start there.
