Let us say convicted in court of something above a defined threshold. (let's also try to use you're and your correctly, like they did in days of yore).
I have never heard anybody say "illegal immigrants should be removed unless they have a good reason for being illegal". Perhaps that's how it should be, but I haven't heard that sentiment.
But that is a miserable fact of law; it hurts some people unjustly in the course of enforcing society's chosen standards.
If one doesn't like the ramifications, then one shouldn't have the law. Or at least, not written that way.
You can't have the law and enforce it selectively, however good your motivation, because that way there be dragons.
Perhaps what the State needs do is assess them under current visa application law - they'd probably all pass anyway.
