Vince D. MonroyChris Coons on the 13,000 non-citizens convicted of homicide: That’s a misleading number. Most of the 13,000 are in prison and will be deported as soon as they finish serving their prison terms. The Biden-Harris admin prioritized the deportation of those who committed violent crimes, deporting them at a 50% higher rate than under Trump.
Chris Coons: If we had been able to pass the tough bipartisan border security deal, we would have $20 billion more being invested in deportations and prioritizing the deportation of violent criminals. That bill didn’t pass only because Trump called his allies in the Senate and said, don’t pass it. He wanted an issue, not a solution.
