A recent headline from The Gateway Pundit shows that 79,000 Dreamers have prior arrests: 79,000 DACA Recipients Were Approved Despite Arrest Records, Some Arrested 10x or More.

Part of the problem is giving suspects the benefit of the doubt. In my experience, many illegal aliens have arrest records, but no convictions. It’s not because they are innocent, but because they fled the state where the offense occurred. So they have arrests on their record, but no conviction.
Another reason for arrests but no convictions: pro-illegal immigration prosecutors letting them get away with crime to allow them to avoid deportation.
In 2017, The Marshall Project wrote:
The Baltimore City state’s attorney last month instructed her staff to exercise discretion when prosecuting immigrants for low-level offenses. The directive was framed as a way to push back against Donald Trump’s mission to increase deportations.
“As the current administration in Washington continues to increase its efforts to enforce immigration laws, we as prosecutors are the torch-bearers of justice in this city,” the prosecutor, Marilyn Mosby, said in a news release. “We must utilize our prosecutorial discretion as we do in every case by considering the unintended collateral consequences that our decisions have on our immigrant population.”

In May of this year, Mosby herself was sentenced—but not jailed—for fraud:

When I was on the Border Patrol, I found illegal aliens who were being transported in a van registered to a “Dreamer.” Apparently, the moment he got status, one of his relatives asked him to put the vehicle in his name so that it would appear legal. The Dreamer did.
After we arrested several illegal aliens being transported in that van, I put an alert on the vehicle owner, who was living in North Carolina (not a border state). Later on, someone from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) gave me a call about this suspect, wanting to know why I had put an alert on him. I explained and the person from USCIS told me that they would not give him a green card.
I checked back on the status of the Dreamer about a month later, only to find that they had given him a LAPR card (green card) anyway. Never forget, USCIS is full of liberals. Defund USCIS!!! Make their backlog even longer so they cannot undermine immigration law as quickly.
