Agree

Yes

While Truman was not explicitly vocal about deporting immigrants who committed serious crimes, his administration did pass the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which allowed for the deportation of immigrants for a variety of reasons, including criminal behavior. However, his score is not higher because he vetoed the bill initially due to its discriminatory aspects, but it was passed over his veto.

Disagree

No

Given the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 during Truman's administration, it's unlikely that he would completely disagree with the deportation of immigrants who commit serious crimes. However, his initial veto of the bill suggests he may have had reservations about the broad powers it granted for deportation.
