I wouldn't call shoplifting a crime of moral turpitude. She's not going to be deported for it. Even if you offered to pay for the cost of the deportation proceedings out of your own pocket.
I'm sorry you made a bad decision that you now regret. Wanting the government to clean up your mess though, shows a lack of personal responsibility. I bet you're paying her alimony and/or child support, too, that's the only reason you could be so bitter about it all.
Whether or not you would call it such a crime is irrelevant. Perhaps you'd like a link to educate yourself more on the law

And no I am not paying any alimony or child support. So you would also lose that bet. In fact I have one child and she the other so there is no alimony or child support in the picture. Again you bring up the issue of "personal responsibility". My "mess" as you so eloquently put it is not the divorce, that is done and over and good riddance. The "mess" I am asking the government to clean up is the one caused by immigrants such as these who violate our laws without appropriate government response.
