I don't have a problem with them being deported...or not. It's just that


they don't pose any greater danger than the thousands of American citizens that are released from prison every year, so I struggle to understand the outrage. It's reasonable to conclude that it stems not from the fact that they are convicted criminals, because there is no corresponding outrage over the release from prison of American citizens, but rather from the fact that they are "other" and had the utter gall to come to this country without touching all the legal bases. Now if you don't think that outrage has a racial component for many, you ain't paying attention.
