As Trump targets immigration, 2 million criminal noncitizens already inside US

President Trump is set Wednesday to take the first steps toward building his “big, beautiful wall” to keep illegal immigrants out – but a more pressing issue may be dealing with the nearly 2 million criminal aliens who’ve already made it inside America’s borders.

At least 925,000 illegal immigrants had been targeted for deportation but remained in the U.S., as of a 2015 estimate from Immigration and Custom Enforcement. A Department of Homeland Security study, however, said that number is more than doubled – to a staggering 1.9 million – when applied to all criminal aliens in the U.S., not just those ticketed to be kicked out. A criminal alien is any noncitizen – in the U.S. legally or illegally – convicted of a crime. But The Center for Immigration Studies’ Jessica Vaughan has said the vast majority of those aliens are indeed illegals.

“It shows you how dysfunctional our interior immigration system is,” Vaughan told Fox News.

We have 30 million criminals already residing in this country.  Where did you get your statistics?
No punishment, in my opinion, is too great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin~  George Washington
