Last I heard 72% had no criminal convictions. Yes, most of those are still in violation of the law, but depending on exactly how they crossed the border, those are almost all civil complaints. Couldn't quite parse the laws, but I came away thinking you have to fuck up pretty bad for the crossing to be criminal.

We're throwing people in concentration camps for the legal equivalent of a moving violation. (Honestly, I didn't plan that pun.)
