EVERY single one of these individuals committed a crime when they came into this country illegally. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is whether they are illegally in the U.S. - full stop. Nearly 70% of illegal aliens ICE arrested across the country have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges just in the U.S. This statistic doesn't account for those wanted for violent crimes in their home country or another country, INTERPOL notices, human rights abusers, gang members, terrorists, etc.

The Department of Homeland Security states that every individual entering the country illegally commits a crime, and targets for enforcement are based solely on illegal status. Approximately 70% of arrested illegal aliens have existing criminal records or pending charges in the U.S., not including those wanted for crimes abroad or listed on INTERPOL notices.
