Write your congressman and ask them to sponsor legislation to deport first time immigrant felons.

Because it's a story of a felon who happens to be an immigrant, not a story about "a wave of violent crime by repeatedly deported illegal aliens" as you so declare.
He was imprisoned and released after his sentence was served. Nowhere in the story does it say he was deported and came back.
This is a very real example of someone trying to politicize a crime where it really isn't warranted.

Border control isn't THE issue in the upcoming election. Trump would like it to be, if only because he has nothing of substance to bring to the table except for his irrational xenophobia.
And you bought into it.
Hey, /u/cowboyhaze, did you know there is a Mexican under every little white girl's bed? It's true. I mean why wouldn't there be? The border is wide open for the brown people to just waltz on over and rape all your white women.
