Someone could have a minor, likely non-violent, misdemeanor and still qualify, but not anything else. So while technically you are correct, criminals like those often mentioned when lambasting the program do not qualify.

Very true, I'm just a stickler for definitive statements actually being factually accurate.  I work in a profession where failing to do so can have extreme consequences and it annoys me to no end how casually people throw out bullshit couched as fact.
