When individuals enter the United States illegally and then go on to commit crimes, the legal process surrounding their deportation becomes far more straightforward under U.S. immigration law.
In these cases, conservative and mainstream legal frameworks strongly support the removal of such individuals—not only because they violated immigration laws by entering unlawfully, but because they also violated U.S. criminal laws once inside the country.
Here’s how the law addresses these situations:
-
Criminal Conduct Triggers Removal: Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), non-citizens (including undocumented immigrants) can be deported if they commit certain crimes. These include aggravated felonies, drug trafficking, violent crimes, firearms offenses, and crimes involving moral turpitude. Convictions for these can result in mandatory detention and expedited removal proceedings.
-
Limited Protections for Criminal Aliens: Unlike asylum seekers or immigrants with lawful status who might be entitled to hearings or appeals, undocumented immigrants convicted of crimes typically have fewer legal avenues to avoid deportation. Courts, including immigration judges, tend to give considerable deference to enforcement actions when public safety is involved.
-
Sanctuary Policies and Local Resistance: In some jurisdictions, sanctuary city policies have created friction between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. Conservatives often criticize these policies, arguing that they shield dangerous individuals from removal and violate the principle of equal justice under the law.
-
Public Safety and Victims' Rights: From a conservative perspective, allowing individuals who entered illegally and then committed crimes to remain in the country sends a dangerous message and undermines the safety of law-abiding citizens. Deportation in such cases is not just a matter of immigration enforcement—it’s seen as a necessary measure to uphold law and order and protect communities.
In summary, if someone entered illegally and then committed crimes while in the United States, their deportation is not typically considered "wrongful" under the law. Instead, it is viewed as a lawful and justified action that reflects both immigration enforcement priorities and broader criminal justice standards.
Most conservatives and moderates alike agree that such individuals should be removed promptly and barred from reentry.
