'These are just a few of the scumbags who were in this country illegally that we arrested over the last few days'​

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem flaunted the Trump administration’s deportation of illegal immigrants with criminal records in a video posted on X. The illegal immigrants featured in Secretary Noem’s video were convicted of arson, child molestation and obscene internet contact with a child.


"It really is unbelievable the people that we are able to deport because President Trump is in the White House now," Secretary Noem said in the video. She then proceeded to show the mugshots of three criminal illegal immigrants and describes their convictions.

"Child molesters. Arsonists. Online child predators. These are just a few of the scumbags who were in this country illegally that we arrested over the last few days," Secretary Noem wrote in the post.

Secretary Noem noted that those featured in her video were just some of the criminal illegal immigrants the administration has been able to deport.

Three of them! Oh my!

 

[RileyG]

Looks like she’s getting work done! Good for her!

 

[JimR-OCDS]

Three of them! Oh my!

She only showed three of them, but there are many more.

Here in Boston alone entire MS-13 gangs were deported.

It is good that dangerous persons are ferreted out and dealt with accordingly. However, the spin seems to be that they are somehow representative of the undocumented alien population, which I think makes great press but is hardly meaningful beyond that. Pew Research estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. in 2022. I reckon we could also find 3 arsonists, child molesters, or obscene internet users at a convention of 11 million Sunday School Teachers. The researcher's question is whether the incidence of criminals among the undocumented immigrant population greater than the incidence among U.S. citizens?

The very idea that you think that there is only a small amount of violent and/or criminal illegal immigrants tells me that you have not been paying close attention to many of the facts.

I didn't say they were small in number. I suggested I'd like it proven that their percentage of serious offenders is significantly larger or different than that of the population as a whole. What percent of the 11 million undocumented immigrant population do you suppose are serious offenders?

The percentage doesn't matter to me. The criminal illegal immigrants must be deported.

I agree. I'm just a little tired of the rhetoric suggesting all brown people are heinous criminals.

No one suggested that brown people were all heinous criminals.

Stop the hyperbolic accusation!

Somebody did...Now as for hyperbolic accusations:

“The Democrats say, ‘Please don’t call them animals. They’re humans.’ I said, ‘No, they’re not humans, they’re not humans. They’re animals.’” [4/2/24] ~Donald Trump

“They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.” [9/10/24] ~ Donald Trump

“They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people. But I speak to border guards and they’re telling us what we’re getting,” ~ Donald Trump

“They’re rough people, in many cases from jails, prisons, from mental institutions, insane asylums. You know, insane asylums, that’s ‘Silence of the Lambs’ stuff. ... Hannibal Lecter, anybody know Hannibal Lecter?” [3/4/24] ~ Donald Trump

Trump was talking about illegals who committed crimes here and in the country, they came from. Their race was never
mentioned as you claimed.

Also, the accusation of illegal Haitians eating pets came from the claim a Springfield citizen made at a town meeting
in which he stated that he saw Haitians carrying four geese.

CNN and The New York Times stated there was no credible evidence that such a thing happened.

Then later this information came out, which both CNN and The New York Times ignored it.

Way to go Christy, domestic criminals need your help in eliminating their competition.

Research I have read shows that undocumented commit less crimes than American citizens. Though NPR is not always a great source, I think the studies they quote are likely true.

No sane person is saying that. Can you provide quotes? I will not hold my breath.

I totally agree. But we need to go to work too on the million outstanding warrants that are mostly USA citizens. So many skipping bail, violating probation or parole and avoiding court in anyway they can.
