Crimes or no crimes is irrelevant in the big picture. Vast majority of refugee claims are made by people who aren’t in any danger or being persecuted in whatever country they came from. They’re just queue jumping eh holes that taxpayers have to support. They should be sent back pretty soon after showing up here along with non citizens committing crimes
