Removal and arrest of illegal aliens

In 2017 256,085 illegal aliens were removed from the U.S. , and 57% were convicted criminals. Also in FY2018, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrested 158,581 aliens, 90% of whom had criminal convictions (66%), pending criminal charges (21%), or previously issued final orders (3%). The overall arrest figure represents an 11% increase over FY2017. https://www.ice.gov/features/ERO-2018

So maybe you’re thinking, then why do we need a wall if we successfully deport or arrest that many? 

1) there are already many sections of the wall protecting major cities, but leaving huge gaps, like near Laredo, TX.  More than 300 Bangladeshi illegal migrants have been arrested by Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents in Texas this fiscal year. https://onenewsnow.com/national-security/2018/06/12/texas-border-sector-arrests-306th-bangladeshi-illegal-this-year

2) why allow them in just to be removed or arrested later at the cost of a lot of manpower,

3) if they have convictions or pending charges, why do you want them living in your sanctuary city in Hispanic neighborhoods or next door to you in Cleveland or Chicago?

What do Democrats have against ICE?

Maybe it’s just on social media—Democrats and Socialists wanting to get ride of ICE.

“Operation Broken Heart was set up by the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force, which partnered with ICE and its Operation Predator.  The criminal sweep occurred during March, April, and May.

In addition to the 2,300-plus arrests, Operation Broken Heart led to the identification of 195 offenders guilty of child pornography or child sex abuse, and the identification of 383 child victims of child pornography or sexual abuse, reported ICE in a statement.”

ICE is actually protecting children—leftists are throwing them to the wolves.
