There's a ton of fluff in that article and the way you wrote that comment means you didn't even read it or keeping up with what the Donvict is doing. The IIRIRA, according to the article, made deportation easier and harder to enter the country based on convictions. Convictions for a crime is key here because that means you had a trial by jury and found guilty after being accused of a crime. The Donvict declared arbitrarily that being illegal is a crime in a country where you are innocent until proven guilty. Nobody is even getting a trial and being sent to random countries. He made his own illegal loophole and using bits and pieces from every immigration law so people can't keep up. Also from the article, the republicans started the bill and the democrats went with it so let's cut the bullshit and inform yourself with less poorly written articles.
