I would be more likely to come down on the side of deporting them if the tax codes, business especially, weren't such a quagmire. Many people, citizens included, have run afoul of the IRS when they really thought they were doing the right thing.

If they wanted to deport them right away for it that would be one thing. Waiting 10 years and then randomly annoucning they're going to be deported when they had no idea beforehand is totally unacceptable. At the very least the statute of limitations for deportations should be the same as for the underlying crime. And really they should have to decide whether to deport someone within say 365 days of criminal conviction, or at the very least 365 days of when they get out of prison.
