Finally!




It looks like they are FINALLY going to do something about illegal aliens that are criminals. Oh, they are all criminals you say? Well, no, only the ones that double-dip and commit OTHER offenses, or at least that is the leftard definition. Well, at least this is a start.

Here's a link to: U.S. to Expand Immigration Checks to All Local Jails


The Obama administration is expanding a program initiated by President
George W. Bush aimed at checking the immigration status of virtually every
person booked into local jails. In four years, the measure could result in a
tenfold increase in illegal immigrants who have been convicted of crimes and
identified for deportation, current and former U.S. officials said.


So far, so good. This starts to sound like a great idea, at least to this point.


Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has made it "very clear" that her top priority is deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes, said David J. Venturella, program director at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.


Whoops, Janet Napolean just threw her 2 cents into the ring. That is never good news. She only wants to catch the murderers and rapists, not the small-time crooks.


Based on the pilot program, the agency estimates that if fingerprints from all 14 million bookings in local jails each year were screened, about 1.4 million "criminal aliens" would be found, Venturella said. That would be about 10 times the 117,000 criminal illegal immigrants ICE deported last year. There are more than 3,100 local jails nationwide, compared with about 1,200 federal and state prisons.


Hmmmmm. If they check 14 million and 1.4 million are illegal aliens, that's about 10%. I'll bet the number is a lot higher than that!


But even some supporters of the program wonder whether it can be implemented smoothly and whether there will be sufficient funding. A surge in deportation cases, noted Stewart Baker, former assistant secretary of homeland security for policy, would require more prosecutors, immigration judges, detention beds and other resources.


WHY? They serve their sentence at the local, State, or Federal prison and then they get put on a fucking bus and DUMPED on the other side of that God Damned fence we are supposedly building!! What in HELL is so hard to understand???


Venturella said ICE will give priority to deporting the most dangerous offenders: national security risks or those convicted of violent crimes. Based on initial projections, the agency estimates that 100,000 of these are "Level 1 offenders" and that deporting them would cost $1.1 billion over four years. Removing all criminal illegal immigrants would cost $3 billion, ICE estimated last year.


It doesn't have to cost much more than a ONE-way bus ticket and maybe a fucking bag lunch! Oh, shit, I don't even care about the cost. JUST DO IT!! Hell I don't! I just had to reopen this post when I noticed this. 1.1 BILLION amounts to $11, 000 EACH to ship their fucking asses back home! BULLSHIT!


Critics say that deporting the worst criminal illegal immigrants, by itself, does not go far enough because it would not fully address the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants already in the United States or deter further illegal immigration.


I have to agree with this paragraph, for the most part. Send every one of them home ASAP. Where in HELL did the 11 million number come from? Shrinking the quantity every time it is reported on does NOT shrink the problem. We all know the number is certainly northwards of 20 million!


Amnesty International and immigrant advocates warn that the change could lead to immigration checks in other arenas and the "criminalization" of illegal immigration.


Man, I SURE HOPE that their fears are warranted on this one. The thing is, being an illegal alien IS ALREADY Criminal! There is no need to "criminalize" it.

Please read the whole article. I just had to comment on a few paragraphs, but you really should read it all. Now, if you all will excuse me, I have to go puke. That's what talking about illegals does to me.

Hi, AA....Great post.

My Los Angeles is beautiful and clean...where the HECk are you, Brittanicus? DOWNTOWN in the bad part!?

But, you're right...so MANY Hispanic illegal kids it's unbelievable. Still, to hear them speaking English while playing; that's a step in the right direction. they could be speaking only Spanish to each other (which is what the clerks at the local grocery store do)

I've never seen a burka here...I'll take the hispanics over that ANY day, and I detest the illegal situation every BIT as much as Average American does.

I reckon it would cost LESS to get buses to drop them back in Mexico behind a strong, real effective wall than for us to keep going into the hole because we're paying billions in medical care for those who broke the laws to get here. Disgusting.

If we don't give them trials, they won't need a lawyeer. We need to ascertain one fact, they are illegally here. Once that is determined, put them on a bus and send them home. We don't prosocuters, just bus drivers.

[Janet Napolitano] only wants to catch the murderers and rapists, not the small-time crooks.And what about the rest of the hordes of illegals running up the cost of our health care and our property taxes (the latter supporting the school systems with all their special programs for non-English speakers)?

I have it on excellent authority, an insider in law enforcement, that illegals reported by jails to ICE don't often get picked up. The jails in sanctuary cities are packed to the gills!

The WordSmith from Nantucket said...

The incentives to come here illegally should be removed. If business owners knowingly hire illegals and won't help be part of the solution but part of the problem, if they won't stem the flow through patriotism, then they should be made to stem the flow through stiff fines and some jail time.

And if the economy weren't so in the tank already, we'd be even MORE flooded with illegal INVADERS.

the problem is that the Obama wants them to be here and vote for him. Thus he will not make any effort to solve the problem.

Average American said...

Brittanicus, thanks for dropping by. I hope you enjoyed what you found here and will return. Thank you also for the informative comment. I appreciate hearing first-hand accounts like that. Until we start JAILING the employers who give them jobs, they will keep coming. I'm not so sure we can get the current occupier of the White House to do anything about it, in fact, I'm surprised that we are even seeing this move, but we have to keep trying.

Z, living in northern New Hampshire as I do, the immigrants I see are mostly legal and mostly French-Canadian. I guess I should consider us up here extremely fortunate that Canada is not the SHIT-HOLE that Mexico is. I almost have convulsions every time I discuss what these illegals are doing to our country. The humungus costs for health care, schooling, social security, and every other social program out there is bankrupting us. It was estimated that 2 MILLION of the defaulted mortgages which caused this meltdown were illegal aliens who NEVER should have gotten loans in the first place. Thanks a lot ACORN!

Chuck, that is EXACTLY RIGHT! A bus driver and a few well-armed Marshalls can deliver about 70 at a time. Geez, we'll need a LOT of drivers and Marshalls!

AOW, That crap HAS to stop. If ICE won't or can't do their jobs, hire more of them or shitcan the ones who aren't performing their duty, whichever is needed.

Wordsmith, I have put forth a minimum 6 months in jail as a satisfactory punishment. I doubt it would take very long before employers would smarten up/become very patriotic. No jobs, no more illegals.

BZ, that's probably very true! Must be the "silver lining in every cloud" thing.

Shoprat, that seems to hold true with all the demo-rats. THAT would be a HUGE bunch of new demo-ratic voters if they ever become legal! Scary.

I'll never give up on CA--AND - I'M FINDING MORE AND MORE PATRIOTS! I don't know where they have been 'hiding' --BHO and his minions are making them 'come out and ---fight'

Christian Soldier, none of us can afford to give up. I am glad to hear you are seeing more patriots, it seems the worse things get, the more the middle Americans turn to the right. I guess the old saying is true: "you have to hit bottom before you can recover", usually said about alcoholics and drug addicts, but it works here also.

MK, now there's three very valid points which I could certainly agree with. Of course we will never see any of them actually done. I would add-make them build the fence as a punishment for their crimes.
