While an undocumented immigrant MAY end up committing a violent crime, the odds are much, much higher for already convicted criminals. 1500+ reckless pardons of people trump couldn’t care less less about, all for a story to “flood the zone with shit” and we end up with results like this.

‘He’s a lot of fun to be with’: Trump and Epstein were close friends for 15 years
As Trump tries to claim he was ‘not a fan’ of Epstein, photos, videos and anecdotes paint a picture of a their relationship It was a friendship that spanned three different decades. To Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein was a “terrific guy”. Epstein believed himself to be Trump’s “closest friend”, and praised the future president as “charming”. The relationship would eventually break down, the men falling out over a bidding war on a property in Florida. And after Epstein was convicted of child sex offences in 2008, Trump distanced himself from the financier, claiming he was “not a fan” and wondering, in recent days, why his supporters would “waste time and energy” on demanding that FBI and Department of Justice files on Epstein be released.

“Senate Majority Leader John Thune dodged again Wednesday, telling reporters: “I’m not at this point taking a position on it. I just think it’s going to be a question that’s left to others to decide.”” Not taking a position on the Epstein matter is still a reprehensible position. Seriously.
