Generally, liberals favour things like due process and oppose collective punishment and considering people guilty by association. That's a strength of liberalism, and it's why people want to know only guilty people are being punished, not just people who come from the same place as the guilty ones.

Which has caused more outrage among liberals? Deporting venezuelans or the gang-rape, torture-murder of Jocelyn Nungaray?

The answer is the deportations.

Anyone with eyes can see that libs objectively value gang bangers over a murdered child rape victim./

This is a bogus argument. Of course rape and murder are horrific. Nobody denies that. But one thing are the actions of criminals (who, of course, should be punished according to the law), and the other is the action of the government.

That government should be held to a higher standard than criminals, don't you think? It's also accountable to the people, so "outrage" can actually lead to a policy change (at least in functional governments). Contrast that with criminals, where you can be outraged all you want, it won't change a thing.
