Specifically violent crime amongst illegal immigrants. 

"Commits a crime" is kind of a meaningless bar. Speeding and not wearing a seat belt are also crimes, and yet I doubt you'd hold those things against any US citizen.  

I view entering a country illegally as an entirely different category than not using a seatbelt or some other minor thing.

That being said I do think, and I've heard many Republicans say this, that the immigration process and citizenship path should be easier.  For her to propose that the border bill she had was some great compromise though is ridiculous.  It allowed tons of illegals per day.  That number needs to be 0 per day in any border deal or it's radical.

Is it even legal to turn away every asylum seeker without going through the process to determine if their claim is legitimate? Even limiting it is on questionable ground to my knowledge.
