If you were to listen to the Left, not is is America not the best country, it is in many ways the worst country on earth.  The same people (HuffPo) will tell you that deporting criminal aliens is cruel and unusual punishment.  Apparently the Progressive thing to do is to allow them to stay in this racist, xenophobic country that hates them.

Yeah, I don’t get it either.

However, Trump favors deportation for criminal illegal immigrants.  That is enough for Democrats to want to fight deportation tooth and nail.

In Boston, an Uber driver took a woman who hired his services to a remote location and raped her, then dropped her off on the campus of Boston College.  As it turns out, the man was an illegal immigrant and passed the Uber background check by using a fake name.

During arraignment it was made public that Luis Baez, the driver, was an associate of the Mozart Street Gang, had previous arrests, had been previously deported, and was wanted by ICE.

The judge released Baez on $2,500 bond, and now he’s gone.

Rape a women three times and pay a $2,500 fine.  That’s what that amounts to.

In Portland, Oregon, Diddier Pacheco-Salazar was arrested for DUI.  Because of his criminal record and previous deportation and return, ICE decided that wanted to detain him after court.  The judge, a Progressive on the board of the Oregon Hispanic Bar Association, let Pacheco-Salazar out of court through the Judge’s entrance to avoid ICE officers.  The Judge is not under criminal investigation, because in Portlandia, Progressive identity politics trumps the law and Judge’s oath.

In New York City, Communist Dickbag Mayor de Blasio ordered that the NYPD not turn illegal immigrants over to ICE for committing minor crimes like drunk driving and grand larceny.  In practicality  this means that NYC rejects pretty much all federal detainers and causes the NYPD to release admitted members of the MS-13 gang (known for their violent culture of gang rape) back into the city.

In Baltimore, porcescutors have been told to go easy on illegal immigrants, pleading them down to minor crimes, so that they can avoid having a detainers placed on them to prevent deportation.

The result is that Democrats have created a preferred class of criminals.  If you are in the country illegally and you commit a crime, Progressives in the judicial system will bend over backwards to ensure you get the lightest possible touch to avoid deportation.

Violent, forcible rape is punished with a fine.  Drug dealing and intimidating  a witness gets your a night stay behind bars.  Nearly kill someone under the influence and your’e free to go.

This is the Ferguson effect on steroids.  Very quickly, illegal immigrants with nefarious intent will learn that the law really doesn’t apply to them.  They are free to pray on American citizens with impunity.  All they have to so is flash some teardrop tattoos at a Progressive judge and say that they don’t want their family broken up and who knows what they will be able to get away with.

This is setting an insanely dangerous precedent.  It is like the inverse of broken windows policing.  This will only encourage crime.

God help the people living in and around sanctuary cities, because the police and local judicial system sure as hell wont.
