Isn't There an Empty Vault That Needs Opening?

You need to wade into this clip nearly 7 minutes before you get to the offending portion, but Geraldo Rivera actually makes the claim that we shouldn't deport illegal immigrants who are duly convicted of crimes on U.S. soil (not immigration crimes mind you, but unrelated crimes once they're here) because - now wait for it, wait for the insanity - that would mean we would've had to deport John Lennon if that policy were retroactively (and, I guess, posthumously) enforced.  And we would've lost "those great ten years of John Lennon living in New York," Rivera laments.

QED.  Game, set, and match.  Well played, Gerald.
