"Illegal immigrants convicted of a felony or three misdemeanors would be deported no matter how long they have been in the U.S."

So of course they will all be queuing up at the border point to admit to their misdemeanours won't they?

It's something however I've said should be included on Visas issued to anyone who applies for the right to live and work in the UK, any conviction and your visa is cancelled without the police having to apply for deportation to be considered and all the human rights activists who say they will be tortured if they are sent back to an unsafe country should start working with the immigrants when their visa is issued and make it clear to them if they break the law they will be sent back regardless, might be a better incentive to try and respect our countries laws.
