(CNSNews.com) – U.S. taxpayers are spending at least $18.6 million per day to house an estimated 300,000 to 450,000 illegal immigrants who are incarcerated and eligible for deportation from the United States, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The cost per day for these prisoners is based on Justice Department incarceration cost estimates from 2001 and on the lower-end figure of 300,000 incarcerated deportable aliens, which means the actual expense today could be substantially higher than $18.6 million per day.
The prisones involved here are foreign national who have come into the United States, committed a crime, been captured, and imprisoned.
Half of the undocumented aliens who were removed from the United States in fiscal 2010 (which ended on Sept. 30) had been convicted of a crime in the United States.
On Wednesday, the office of the DHS Inspector General (IG) released its annual performance plan report for fiscal year 2011, which states that there are “approximately 300,000 to 450,000 criminal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, county, and local correctional facilities [who] are eligible for removal from the United States.”
In its March 2010 report, "Immigration Enforcement Actions: 2009," the DHS defines removal as "the compulsory and confirmed movement of an inadmissible or deportable alien out of the United States based on an order of removal. An alien who is removed has administrative or criminal consequences placed on subsequent reentry owing to the fact of the removal."
Kara McCarthy, a spokeswoman at the DOJ, told CNSNews.com that the latest data available show that “average annual operating costs per state inmate for Fiscal Year 2001 was $22,650; in the Federal Bureau of Prisons it was $22,632.”
These annual operation costs exclude “capital expenditures, juvenile corrections, probation, parole, and most central office functions of corrections spending,” McCarthy told CNSNews.com
The cost of $22,650 per year to house just one inmate at the state level equals about $62 a day ($22,650 divided by 365 days). In the Federal Bureau of Prisons, it also averages out to $62 per day ($22,632 divided by 365 days).
Given this daily average expense (based on fiscal year 2001 costs), it can be estimated that the cost of housing 300,000 incarcerated illegal aliens in U.S. prisons would equal $18.6 million per day; the cost for housing 450,000 incarcerated illegal aliens would equal $27.9 million per day. If inflation in prison costs since 2001 were factored in, the expense would be even greater.
When CNSNews.com asked why incarcerated aliens who are eligible for removal have not been deported, a DHS spokesperson said, “It is because they are still serving their criminal sentence. ICE does not receive criminal aliens from state criminal justice systems until after they have completed their sentences.” (ICE is the acronym for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.)
On the same day the IG’s office released its performance plan report, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and ICE Director John Morton announced that half of the undocumented aliens who were removed from the United States in fiscal year 2010, which ended on Sept. 30, were convicted criminals.
“In fiscal year 2010, ICE set a record for overall removals of illegal aliens, with more than 392,000 removals nationwide,” says an Oct. 6 press release from the DHS. “Half of those removed--more than 195,000--were convicted criminals.”
“The fiscal year 2010 statistics represent increases of more than 23,000 removals overall and 81,000 criminal removals compared to fiscal year 2008--a more than 70 percent increase in removal of criminal aliens from the previous administration,” added the release.
It is uncertain whether the IG office’s estimate of 300,000 to 450,000 incarcerated criminal aliens who are eligible for removal takes into account the 195,000 criminal aliens removed in fiscal 2010. The IG office did not respond to CNSNews.com for a clarification on this point before this story was posted.
Nevertheless, the DHS did not deport all of the criminal illegal aliens who are eligible for removal and are currently sitting in U.S. correctional facilities.
The DOJ spokeswoman told CNSNews.com that, according to its latest figures, “In 2008 there were 785,556 inmates in the nation's [local and county] jails and 1,518,559 inmates in state and federal prisons.” That equals 2,304,115 inmates in total in the United States.
Given those numbers, 300,000 incarcerated criminal aliens would equal 13 percent of the entire inmate population of the United States, while 450,000 incarcerated criminal aliens would equal 19.5 percent of the entire inmate population.
According to the IG report from DHS, “The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requires ICE to initiate deportation proceedings for incarcerated criminal aliens as expeditiously as possible after the date of conviction. Criminal aliens who are eligible for deportation include illegal aliens in the United States who are convicted of any crime and lawful permanent residents who are convicted of a removable offense as defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act.”

Colin Powell Hires Illegal Immigrants
So unemployment is over 10% and this asshole has the audacity to hire a bunch of illegal wetbacks to work for him?
WASHINGTON – Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says illegal immigrants do essential work in the U.S. and that he has firsthand knowledge of that — because they fix his house.
A moderate Republican, Powell urged his party on Sunday to support immigration generally because those who come from abroad are, in his words, "what's keeping this country's lifeblood moving forward."
Powell said a path to legal status should be offered to illegal immigrants because they do work that needs to get done.
At his own house, he said on NBC's "Meet the Press," illegal immigrants are always around when he needs work done.
He did not specify whether he hired them directly or they showed up with contractors.

Illegal Alien Pedophile Given $4 Million By Orange County CA
Source
On April 17, 2009, the Orange County Board of Supervisors agreed to pay $3.75 million, plus an additional $900,000 in medical expenses to an illegal alien who was severely beaten by other inmates in the Orange County Central Jail. The Mexican national filed a lawsuit shortly after the incident.
Fernando Ramirez, 24, was in jail after being charged with molesting a 6-year-old girl at a local park. He eventually pled guilty to the lesser charge of battery against a child.
According to his attorney, Ramirez suffered brain damage and now needs help walking. Attorney Mark Eisenberg also claims that his client has been left with an intellect of a 4-year-old child.
Despite the dire financial crisis facing Orange County, Ramirez received the largest settlement ever awarded by the county for an in-custody incident. The Board of Supervisors made their decision in a closed-door session and have refused any comment on the matter.
If anyone would like to contact the Orange County Board of Supervisors to discuss the Ramirez settlement, I have included the following contact list for your convenience:
-Board Chair Patricia C. Bates, Supervisor Fifth District (ph #: 714-834-3550)
-Vice Chair Janet Nguyen, Supervisor First District (ph #: 714-834-3110)
-John M.W. Moorlach, Supervisor Second District (ph #: 714-834-3220)
-Bill Campbell, Supervisor Third District (ph #: 714-834-3330)
-Chris Norby, Supervisor Fourth District (ph #: 714-834-3440)
Reporter’s note: Except for one story carried by the Orange County Register, there has been no press coverage of this matter. One would think that an illegal alien child molester becoming a millionaire through taxpayer funding would be big news.
Of course, a story such as this one would make people angry, and maybe even angry enough to hold their elected representatives accountable for the enormous crime wave being perpetrated by this country’s illegal alien population.
I don’t know which is more outrageous, the now-daily accounts of illegal aliens raping our women and children; our elected officials allowing our land to be transformed into a Third World nation; or a complicit mainstream press, eager to assist in the cover-up of our destruction.

Dumbass Sarah Palin Pulls Out Some Serious Doublespeak
So the question is what would President Palin do about illegal immigration. While Oreilly leads her in the direction she agrees to send troops to secure the border.
Now she claims that she would have every mexican here illegally report in and send in a form. Now would you deport these ILLEGAL immigrants who have already broken the law to come here? Not in President Palin's world, you issue these immigrants greencards and send them on their merry way like this guy.
I post this of course to show people the true nature of Sarah Palin. For regular readers I wholeheartedly apologize for having to not only listen to neo con entertainer bill oreilly, but to sit through and listen to the absolutely ridiculous, mindless blather that flows from palins mouth.

Illegal Alien Safe Haven Goes Bankrupt
* How utterly predictable.
{snip}
A California “sanctuary city” has fallen victim to illegal immigration—going bankrupt and firing all of its public employees, Jerome Corsi’s Red Alert reports.
The city of Maywood, Calif., hit the budget wall after it decided not only to be a sanctuary city, but to be a completely “safe haven” for illegal aliens seeking protection from deportation.
“Predictably, mainstream media newspapers, including the Financial Times in London, chose to present Maywood as a victim to the recession, rather than to tell the whole story—that Maywood fell victim to illegal immigration,” Corsi wrote.
“Crushed by the recession and falling tax revenues, the city is disbanding the police force and firing all public sector employees,” Matthew Garrahan wrote in the Financial Times, never mentioning that illegal immigration was the problem.
Maywood is a small town comprising only about 1.2 square miles on the southern border of Los Angeles. More than 96 percent of its residents are Hispanic. The town’s official population is listed at 29,000 but may be nearly 45,000 when illegal aliens living in Maywood are counted.
In January 2006, Maywood’s city council passed a resolution declaring that the city would not enforce any federal law such as H.R. 4557 that sought to declare illegal immigrants to be felons.
More aggressive even than sanctuary laws, this new resolution prohibited Mayfield police from being involved in any immigration enforcement actions undertaken by federal, state or county authorities.

Atheist Congressman Pete Stark Is An Anti American Douchebag
You are either with us or against us. Don't think your comments will be forgotten, you smugly talk down to people from your ivory tower, but soon that tower will cease to exist and that leaves you at ground level with nobody to protect you. Watch your ass.

We Support Arizona.com
It is absolutely crucial that we all lend our support to the Sovereign State of Arizona during this time when much of the country is waging economic and political war against them. Throughout this whole process I have been shocked that people are literally against Arizona simply for closing their border to ILLEGAL immigration.
Today the invaders of our country are more brazen than ever about their plans for this once great Republic. Their plan is nothing short of complete conquest.
So where do you find yourself now? On the continent YOUR fathers founded? You are under attack by all sides, the blacks are only 12% of the population and 58% of the total crime, hispanics commit the majority of the remaining 40%, there are over 1 billion muslims worldwide and are wreaking havoc in most of Europe, and at the head of the mud colored beast is the International jew. They are the ones who opened the gates either figuratively in our case or literally in the case of 8th century Spain.
They use the non Whites, plain and simple. They use them to defile a nation and they use them for class warfare. So is this just some hate filled tirade? Your Goddamn right it is. At this stage in the game I don't give a damn for a man that doesn't hate. Hate the people who have bankrupted our nation, killed millions of our men in pointless wars, destroyed our morality and family structure all while putting us under the impression that he is a friend, the chosen of God.
Our country is being overrun and when people say the things that I have above you label us "racists". When will you learn? When your daughter is raped? When your son is sent off to war to die for the state of israel? This is real and pretending that the situation isn't dire doesn't make it go away. The only thing that will make it go away is for you to get off the couch, get educated, educate those around you and prepare yourself for what is to come. That is your duty as descendants of some of the greatest men in all of history.

Miss Oklahoma The Real Miss USA
Well this year they keep up the tradition of handing the hot blondes the loaded questions. First it was the sodomite asking Carrie Prejean about fag marriage, now it's some beaner asking about Arizona's kickass immigration enforcement.
Both of the girls gave great answers in my opinion and by being honest and truthful it kept them from winning.
I'd love to see them ask a black contestant "In your opinion why is it that while blacks are only 13% of the US population, they commit 60% of the total crime?" Let's see one of them be taken aback instead of handing out softballs.
The video can be seen below, and you will see why Morgan Woolard is the true Miss USA and a girl after our own hearts.

Immigration Enforcement Goes To The Next Level In South Carolina
Source
The rubber is about to hit the road on workplace immigration enforcement in South Carolina.
Starting July 1, state officials will be auditing businesses with fewer than 100 employees. That affects an estimated 110,000 businesses across the state. Compare that with the 2,200 businesses with 100 or more employees that came under the S.C. Immigration Reform Act last year.
Not surprisingly, state officials report a 94 percent compliance rate on documenting the legal status of employees at these larger businesses. They don't expect to find that rate of compliance at the smaller businesses. Those businesses are less likely to have human resources departments or company lawyers and more likely to hire workers with inadequate or fraudulent documentation.
The initial effort will focus on industries that tend to employ foreign workers, such as landscaping companies, farms, restaurants, hotels, construction firms and golf courses. That's a smart use of resources.
Jobs are what draw many illegal immigrants here. If employers feel the pain of immigration enforcement, they'll try hard not to hire undocumented workers, and many of the costs and problems associated with illegal immigration will go away, too.
Under state law, employers must use one of two methods to verify the legal status of new workers. They can require employees to provide a South Carolina driver's license or identification card, or a motor vehicle license from one of 26 other states whose requirements are as strict as South Carolina's. The second option is to use the Department of Homeland Security's online database, E-verify, to check new hires.
Companies face a maximum fine of $1,000 per violation and risk losing their business license if they are found to have knowingly hired an illegal alien. Businesses first have a chance to fix any problems. Labor officials also are required to notify federal immigration officials when illegal immigrants are found in the workplace.
Some local companies complained last year about inconsistent or confusing aspects of enforcement. One employer said he was told that if he used E-verify to check the status of one new hire, he must use it for all -- even though the state law gives us a choice on the verification method. Let's hope state officials have worked out issues like this before they tackle this next round of audits.
Beaufort County's audit of about 3,790 companies doing business in unincorporated areas of the county is nearing completion. By the end of June, about 3,000 will have been checked for documentation on employees and gross sales reported to the county, said county administrator Gary Kubic. The county hired Advance Point Global of Hilton Head Island to do the work. At the end of 2009, auditors had checked more than 2,200 businesses, turning names of employees suspected of illegal activity to the Sheriff's Office for further investigation. Sheriff P.J. Tanner said that in the past year, 42 warrants had been issued and 38 arrests made, most on charges of forgery.
These state and local audits, of course, require money. The county spent about $500,000 on its program in 2008 and 2009.About $750,000 was budgeted last year for the first stage of state enforcement, and $2 million is to be set aside this year.
Money has been a problem for at least one provision of the state law. It requires theSouth Carolina Law Enforcement Division to enter into an agreement with the federal government to address enforcement of federal immigration laws by state and local law enforcement agencies, training of state and local law enforcement, detention of illegal immigrants and their removal from the state.
But to date, no agreement has been reached, the Greenville News reports, and no funding found. Without state or federal funding, criminal enforcement can't begin. State Sen. Larry Martin of Pickens said that neither the governor's office nor SLED had asked for funding for the program.
Ben Fox, spokesman for Gov. Mark Sanford, told the newspaper that federal help had been sought on training and other issues, but when the state contacted then-Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, it was told the proposal couldn't be considered because of limited resources and limited prison space in South Carolina.
Which leads us to the true source of solving illegal immigration issues -- the federal government. No action has come from that quarter. In the meantime, we'll see what the state can do.

Arizonans Fighting Back Against Boycotts
I think this is an excellent idea. We need to stand with Arizona and let them know we support them in their fight to stop the mexican invasion.
Source
PHOENIX -- Los Angeles has just become the nation's largest city to boycott Arizona for passing a tough immigration law.
Now, anti-protesters have come out to say they'll boycott L.A. right back.
Kelly Townsend of Gilbert doesn't like hearing about people across the country boycotting Arizona.
"I think it's an intimidation tactic that has caught on and people think if they make enough noise and have big enough tantrum, then they'll get their way," said Townsend.
Townsend has helped create a website, phoenixteaparty.ning.com, that supports Arizona's new immigration law and calls for a counter boycott targeting cities, politicians and businesses speaking out against Arizona.
"We have a lot of people that don't sit on sidelines and say OK," said Townsend. "If you're going to play that tactic, we can respond with a counter boycott."
CBS-5 News has also received a number of e-mails from viewers in favor of boycotting the boycotters.
"Boycotting can work both ways," one viewer said.
"I'm keeping a list of all who boycott us. I intend to boycott them," said another viewer.
Judy Valencia of Sedona just canceled plans to take her family to Disneyland this summer.
"I think if they are going to be childish and say we're not going to come to your state, we're not going to come to your state," Valencia said.
Townsend has also stepped up efforts to 'Buycott Arizona' and get more folks to purchase goods and services from Arizona.
Anything to improve the state's image across the country and protect the families that live here, said Townsend.
"We're more focused on support coming in to Arizona," Townsend said.

It Is White America! It Is OUR Country!
Photo: Mestizo students at this High School in Montebello, California raised a Mexican flag on the school’s flagpole and turned the US flag upside down. The date of this photo is unknown.
Hispanic students at Live Oak High were egged on by their school administrators to stage an anti-American flag demonstration during school hours. Earlier in the week five white students were disciplined for wearing American flag t-shirts to school!
From Morgan Hill Times…
About 200 Hispanic teens are marching in Morgan Hill yelling “We want respect!” and “Si se puede!” in reaction to a controversy ignited when the Live Oak High School principal effectively sent four students home for wearing T-shirts with American flags on them during Cinco de Mayo.
Mexican-American students felt the students were being disrespectful on the only day they celebrate their heritage while students sporting red, white and blue said it violated their First Amendment rights.
Six police cars and a Morgan Hill motorcycle officer have been cruising alongside the large group as it marches.
The group – mostly high school students – walked out of school this morning after the story of four students who were sent home because they wore American flag T-shirts went viral on TV and online. Many wear red, white and green and two large Mexico flags can be seen at the front of the line.
The students say they want people to know they’re proud of their heritage and they believe wearing red, white and blue on Cinco de Mayo is disrespectful.

I Stand With Arizona
By Pat Buchanan

Major demonstrations are to be held in 70 cities on May 1 to protest the new Arizona law to cope with an army of half a million illegal aliens now living there.
Since Gov. Jan Brewer signed that law a week ago, Arizona has been subjected to savage attack as the modern embodiment of Jim Crow, apartheid and Nazism. Few have risen in her defense.
In San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., moves are afoot to boycott Arizona and cancel conventions to break the state, as it was broken when Arizona declined to set aside a holiday for Martin Luther King.
Republican leaders like Jeb Bush, Karl Rove and even the rising Marco Rubio of Florida have declared themselves "troubled" or "concerned" and washed their hands of Arizona, which suggests they have not read the law—or the party remains captive to country-club political correctness.
In a particularly offensive smear, Mexican President Felipe Calderon charged Arizona with opening the door "to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement."
And what was the reaction of the Great Apologist to this slander of an American state by the leader of a neighboring nation?
None. One wonders if Barack Obama will ever stand up to foreign leaders' abusing the nation that awarded him its highest honor. Or has he been marinated since birth in the "Blame America First" mindset of the San Francisco Democrats who sneer at the real America?
As columnist Michelle Malkin writes, there is no shortage of ammunition our president could have used to fire back at the hypocrites of Mexico City.
For where Arizona has made it a misdemeanor to be in the country illegally, in Calderon's country it is a felony that can get you years in prison. Where illegal aliens in America regularly protest under Mexican flags, no foreign resident of Mexico may demonstrate against the regime.
Where immigration is changing the ethnic balance of this country, in Mexico immigrants are not allowed in who could upset "the equilibrium of the national demographics." Where Americans demand we treat illegal aliens firmly but fairly, Guatemalans caught in Mexico are often treated with a brutality bordering on sadism.
We really do not need any lectures on morality or human rights from Mexico. But what is the matter with our leader that he will not defend his country?
As for the supposedly neo-Nazi Arizona law, what does it really say and do?
First, it brings Arizona law into conformity with federal law. As it has long been a federal crime to be in the country illegally, it is now a crime in Arizona.
Second, just as U.S. law since 1940 has required legal aliens—immigrants and guest workers—to carry their green cards or work visas at all times, Arizona law now says the same thing.
Is there something inhumane about this? If so, where have the protests been these last 70 years? Many of us in the 1950s had to carry not only driver's licenses, but draft cards.
No U.S. citizen in Arizona, however, has to carry an identity card. As for racial profiling, the new law forbids it. A police officer, it reads, "may not solely consider race, color or national origin" in stopping anyone or in determining an immigrant's status.
Before there can be a "reasonable suspicion" an individual is here illegally, there must first be a "lawful contact." This means no cop can halt and challenge a man on the street, or sitting in a restaurant or bar, or driving a car.
If an individual is caught running a traffic light, the police must first ask for his license. Only if the individual lacks a valid ID or driver's license, or his behavior causes "reasonable suspicion" he is an illegal, can he be brought in. Then, a call must be made to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to determine his status.
Where is the neo-Nazism here?
Is this too much to ask on behalf of the police in a state whose first city, Phoenix, in the words of Kris Kobach, co-author of the new law, has become the "kidnapping capital of North America and the hub of human smuggling into the United States"?
When one looks closely at what the Arizona law says, the hysteria it has generated seems so excessive one wonders if it is fear the Arizona law will work—as well as hatred—that is behind the over-the-top reaction.
Whatever the motivation of the left, defense of this law by conservatives is imperative. For without tools like this, the Southwestern states cannot stop the invasion from Mexico—given the U.S. government's dereliction of its duty to defend America's borders.
Conservatives must stand up for Arizona. And this is winnable. For by backing away from "immigration reform," both Harry Reid and Obama are admitting, de facto, that America is with us, not with them.

Marco Rubio Is A Neo Con Pussy
Taken from his website. What a surprise this wetback is against the Sovereign State Of Arizona defending it's own borders when the controlled federal government fails abysmally at the task. This is how things are supposed to be run, at the state level.
“Our legal immigration system must continue to welcome those who seek to embrace America’s blessings and abide by the legal and orderly system that is in place. The American people have every right to expect the federal government to secure our borders and prevent illegal immigration. It has become all too easy for some in Washington to ignore the desperation and urgency of those like the citizens of Arizona who are disproportionately wrestling with this problem as well as the violence, drug trafficking and lawlessness that spills over from across the border.
“States certainly have the right to enact policies to protect their citizens, but Arizona’s policy shows the difficulty and limitations of states trying to act piecemeal to solve what is a serious federal problem. From what I have read in news reports, I do have concerns about this legislation. While I don’t believe Arizona’s policy was based on anything other than trying to get a handle on our broken borders, I think aspects of the law, especially that dealing with ‘reasonable suspicion,’ are going to put our law enforcement officers in an incredibly difficult position. It could also unreasonably single out people who are here legally, including many American citizens. Throughout American history and throughout this administration we have seen that when government is given an inch it takes a mile.
“I hope Congress and the Obama Administration will use the Arizona legislation not as an excuse to try and jam through amnesty legislation, but to finally act on border states’ requests for help with security and fix the things about our immigration system that can be fixed right now – securing the border, reforming the visa and entry process, and cracking down on employers who exploit illegal immigrants.”

Mexican Drug Gangs Killed 7,000 US Citizens In 2009
From UK Daily Mail
Drug gang hitmen shot dead the grieving family of an elite Mexican marine who died after taking part in a raid that killed a notorious drug lord.
Gunmen armed with assault rifles burst into the family’s home in Quintin Arauz in the southern state of Tabasco on Monday, killing the serviceman’s mother, brother, sister and aunt.
It appeared to be a revenge attack for a Mexican navy operation last week that killed the boss of a major drug cartel, Arturo Beltran Leyva.
…
Despite the deployment of 49,000 troops across Mexico, broad daylight shootings are common and killings by drug gangs have soared to a record of well above 7,000 this year.
Torture, decapitations and other atrocities have become common.
The rising bloodshed has alarmed the U.S. government and hurt Mexico’s image as a relatively stable destination for foreign investors and tourists.

ILLEGAL Immigrant Stabs 17 Year Old To Death For Speaking English
By BRENT BATTEN
Posted December 21, 2009
Naples News
I swear we don’t plan this stuff out.
But no sooner than does a series of articles about the Collier County Sheriff’s Office program to deport troublesome illegal aliens conclude than an illegal alien is in the headlines, and not in a good way.
The sheriff’s program, as outlined in stories Sunday and Monday, targets illegal immigrants who run afoul of the law. Deputies, through extra training, are empowered to enforce federal laws and begin deportation proceedings as they see fit. In places without the program, local authorities have to rely on federal agents to undertake the deportation process against known illegal immigrants residing in their jails, a demand the feds are not always prepared to meet.
The program and the articles about it elicited the predictable responses from good-hearted people who see tragedy in the separation of families. They fret over the anxiety experienced by those who skirted the rules to find a better life in the United States yet are one traffic stop away from losing it.
Then along comes Mauricio Escalante. The 33-year-old illegal immigrant was arrested Saturday for stabbing to death a 17-year-old on the streets of Immokalee.
The teenager’s affront that set off the fatal confrontation — daring to speak English in America.
According to Sheriff’s Office reports, around 3 a.m. Saturday Charlie Guzman and some friends gathered at the laundry of an apartment complex on Colorado Avenue. Three others, including Escalante, were already there and the two groups began talking until a dispute erupted over the victim’s group speaking English, not Spanish.
Escalante went to a nearby apartment, got a knife, and fatally stabbed Guzman, according to reports.
So much for the notion that illegal immigrants are universally a hard-working, law abiding set committed to doing the jobs Americans won’t do, all while trying to assimilate.
While plenty of people in the community of illegal immigrants, a majority, no doubt, fit that description, there are bad actors in the group.
The bad actors are the ones targeted by the sheriff’s program. For proof of that, one need look no further than Escalante. A year ago, he wound up in jail because deputies found him so drunk he was deemed to be a threat to himself or others.
But being drunk out of your mind in public isn’t the sort of thing that gets you deported under the sheriff’s system.
“Until the murder, he didn’t have a criminal history with us,” Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Karie Partington said.
In two years, about 2,200 illegal immigrants have been either deported or are awaiting deportation through the sheriff’s efforts. Among that many cases, there are bound to be a few where the triggering offenses seem minor or the hardship upon family members here legally seems great.
But there are hardships to be borne by turning a blind eye toward illegal immigrants among us.
Ask the family of Charlie Guzman.
