deport criminals

Well, maybe this Can't Possibly Be True, either
The Houston Chronicle's investigation found that of all criminals convicted in the Houston area who admit to being illegal immigrants, only a few are ever held for deportation because Immigration (ICE) can't handle them. That includes "scores" of violent felons and long-rap-sheet perps. Meanwhile, ICE deports twice as many noncriminal illegals every year as it does criminal illegals. (No, this whole thing can possibly be true, all right; while politicians hate illegal immigrants, they hate taxes even more, so even ICE doesn't get enough money to do the job right.)
