dems thought the same thing pretty recently about the GOP
Yeah, but they were wrong, whereas I am right.

Not necessarily but you'll see it that way because you want to.
Edit.
Let me clarify. Yes proclaiming a false narrative is wrong.
I'm not really convinced that is what is happening here.
That's a possibility.
However, there is an unmistakable double standard at work here. Many posters, mainstream media talking heads and Democrat politicians make broad positive statements about the group of DACA recipients (e.g., "these are A+ students, serving in our military, doctors...") yet recoil in disgust in the rare event that a broad negative statement is made (e.g., "these are murderers, rapists and human traffickers").
The group of DACA recipients is large enough that doctors and criminals both can be found among them, yet the types of reaction to each statement diverges wildly.
Sure, I agree with that. But it's not a response to the point I made.Compare the numbers of murders and criminals under daca to children and I think you'll see a very huge difference . 30% is not a small number
Well I guess I don't understand.Sure, I agree with that. But it's not a response to the point I made.
Well I guess I don't understand.
But I would imagine that they don't spend so much time on the crime rate because its so low.
I don't put any weight into tweets so that probably didn't help me see your point.
Sources please on where you are getting these numbers from.It was a point about media/politician portrayals of the immigration issue.
I am not sure if you read the mainstream outlets (NYT, WaPo, CNN) and I don't blame you if you don't. These outlets consistently publish front page "sob stories" about immigrants who deserve our sympathy. It is reasonable to think that these stories are intended to influence national policy. However, these outlets almost never run stories about the thousands of cases of illegal immigrants committing heinous crimes.
Focusing on DACA only: in the very short history of the DACA program, literally thousands of DACA recipients have been ejected from the program for committing felonies including human trafficking, rape and murder. Have you ever read a New York Times story about these cases? I haven't and I seriously doubt such stories have ever been run.
What is with the obsession with Democrats and south Americans and muslims.
So strange
Sources please on where you are getting these numbers from.
Sorry but I don't see the problem still 2000 out of 900000 is a very small numbetthats why its not reported as much. If it were reported more it would be over reporting .The source is the US Citizenship and Immigration Service. As of August 2017, 2,139 DACA recipients have been removed from the DACA program for committing serious crimes.
The numbers on revocations and terminations:
According to USCIS, "Most DACA terminations were based on the following infractions (not ranked): alien smuggling, assaultive offenses, domestic violence, drug offenses, DUI, larceny and thefts, criminal trespass and burglary, sexual offenses with minors, other sex offenses and weapons offenses."
- 2013 -- 56.
- 2014 -- 153.
- 2015 -- 460.
- 2016 -- 848.
- 2017 -- 622.
- Total -- 2,139.

Secondly, your term " heinous" shows your bias. The fact is you don't know the nature of the crimes so you saying "heinous" is nothing more than fear mongering.
these outlets almost never run stories about the thousands of cases of illegal immigrants committing heinous crimes.
Once again if the rate isn't higher than the native population there isn't much to report. It just gets tossed up to human nature. And you know media outlets especially the main ones still have to have credibility reporting easily debunked fear mongering stories helps you lose that.
Why the negativity? Do two wrongs make a right?I don’t see why you conservatives are crying. Trump is destroying everything the last administration did regardless of the outcome with no complaint from you donkeys. You reap what you sow.
