No the argument is a disingenuous one that likes to cite conviction rates


as some evidence that illegals are all a bunch of good hard working people that aren't committing crimes, or at least at a rate lower than legal immigrants and citizens. All while ignoring a) none of those crimes would've occurred if not for them being here illegally to begin with and b) to be convicted, one must appear in court, something which is less likely when deportation can also be on the table. Do you think someone that had a loved one die at the hands of an illegal drunk driver will give a damn about how their conviction rates compare to the general population, or whether we should've done more to make sure they weren't here to begin with? Let alone whether they should then be given sanctuary after conviction.

It's akin to saying that because legal gun owners commit very few murders by comparison, we shouldn't do anything about strictly enforcing those that do violate gun laws.
