GOP Leaders Urge Focus on Criminals, Not Workers, in Deportation Policies

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) criticized the idea of deporting individuals who are not convicted criminals, arguing that such actions indicate a failure of government priorities. He emphasized the importance of distinguishing between legal immigrants and criminals, in contrast to President-elect Trump's proposed mass deportation plan targeting undocumented individuals, particularly those with criminal records. Gonzales expressed concern over the potential impact on families and communities, highlighting the need for a more focused approach on criminal elements.
