[clarification needed]
There have already been good criteria listed. Though DUI is on there and I wouldn't totally agree with deporting someone if they have a DUI where they didn't injure or kill someone. But the rest: murder, rape, violent crime, drug dealing - if person had no prior or serious offenses and the drugs were say Pot and in not huge quantities, then I don't think that should be a deportable offense.
This is from the DHS:
https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files ... retion.pdfPriority 1 (threats to national security, border security, and public safety)
Aliens described in this priority represent the highest priority to which
enforcement resources should be directed:
(a) aliens engaged in or suspected of terrorism or espionage, or who
otherwise pose a danger to national security;
(b) aliens apprehended at the border or ports of entry while attempting to
unlawfully enter the United States;
(c) aliens convicted of an offense for which an element was active
participation in a criminal street gang, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 52 l(a), or
aliens not younger than 16 years of age who intentionally participated in
an organized criminal gang to further the illegal activity of the gang;
(d) aliens convicted of an offense classified as a felony in the convicting
jurisdiction, other than a state or local offense for which an essential
element was the alien's immigration status; and
(e) aliens convicted of an "aggravated felony," as that term is defined in
section 101(a)(43) of the Immigration and Nationality Act at the time of
theconviction.
