The right kind of immigration raid

Law enforcement and immigrant advocates are working together to make for

kinder crackdowns.

April 3, 2008

Before U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement took 144 men and women into

custody at Micro Solutions Enterprises in Van Nuys a few weeks ago, the

agency sent advance notice to civil rights groups. It put social service

agencies on standby in case children whose parents were detained needed

help. Once the suspected illegal immigrants were identified, ICE agents

asked if they had chronic health conditions, child-care issues or other

urgent personal situations. Those who did were released and given an order

to appear in court at a later date. Lastly, ICE handed out a list of

attorneys who would take cases pro bono.

States think smaller, slower on immigration

By Daniel C. Vock, Stateline.org Staff Writer

The headlong rush of states into immigration policy may be slowing. In

legislative sessions this spring, ambitious proposals in state capitols have

been watered down, delayed or outright defeated.

State legislators, many frustrated with federal inaction on immigration

issues, continue to dive into the debate over whether undocumented

immigrants are entitled to driver's licenses, in-state tuition at state

universities, public benefits and business licenses.

But this year, their actions have been measured or curtailed by their

governors or special interest groups, especially compared to recent years,

when state lawmakers presented a flurry of new ideas and passed an

unprecedented number of immigration-related laws.

In Indiana, Kentucky and Nebraska, get-tough proposals died in key

committees. Ideas on the table included measures to shutter businesses that

hired undocumented immigrants, enlist state police in federal immigration

enforcement efforts and cut off public benefits to illegal immigrants.

Senate endorses crackdown on illegal immigrants

By Virginia Young

POST-DISPATCH JEFFERSON CITY BUREAU CHIEF

04/02/2008

JEFFERSON CITY - Immigration legislation, a top priority for Gov. Matt Blunt

and Republican legislative leaders, moved off dead center Tuesday when the

Senate unexpectedly endorsed a wide-ranging crackdown.

The plan would strip business licenses and state contracts from employers

who knowingly hire undocumented workers. However, employers could escape

penalties if they used a federal database to verify workers' residency.

Illegal immigrants would be ineligible for most state and local services,

including grants, loans, welfare, disability, housing and food assistance.

They could not get drivers licenses and could be denied bail when jailed.

Illegal immigration problem not fixed

April 3rd, 2008

The illegal immigration problem hasn't been solved. The borders remain open

because the administration doesn't want to close them. Open borders go hand

in hand with plans for a North American Union. Closing them is inconsistent

with "integrating" Canada, Mexico and the United States.

Americans were rightly angered early in 2006 when hundreds of thousands of

demonstrators, many obviously here illegally, clogged streets of major

cities, waved Mexican flags, demanded favors from government, and trashed

the Stars and Stripes

11 Violent Gang Members Locked Away

Trial For 3 More Set For Trial In August

Reported By Dennis Ferrier

out in Nashville.

members of a gang whose motto is "Kill, Rape, Control" have been convicted

while three more await trial.

The people were members of the dangerous MS-13 gang, and the people who know

gangs best said there is really nothing like them.

"MS-13 works on fear. They're not your typical gang that sells drugs on the

street corner or does anything like that. They don't work like that. Their

whole thing is fear and taking over an area. And they live daily to fight

the enemy, and their enemy was any Hispanic in Nashville," said Gary Kemper

of Metro's Gang Suppression Unit.

MS-13 gang member sentenced to 27 years

Staff reports

Another member of the notorious MS-13 gang was given a lengthy sentence to

prison in federal court.

In a Monday hearing, U.S. District Judge Todd Campbell sentenced Walter

Hernandez, a.k.a. Spanky, to 27 years in prison for his role in a widespread

racketeering enterprise with legs in both Nashville and Baltimore.

Hernandez admitted in open court last week to being involved in racketeering

in the Nashville area as well as the fatal shooting of a rival Brown Pride

gang member in 2006.

Our Government: Aiding And Abetting Illegal Aliens

By: Chris Freind, The Bulletin

04/02/2008

The following is the mission statement of the Philadelphia Prison System:

"To provide a secure correctional environment that adequately detains

persons accused or convicted of illegal acts; to provide programs, services

and supervision in a safe, lawful, clean and humane environment, and to

prepare incarcerated persons for re-entry into society."

Unfathomably, the last part of that policy makes no distinction between

American citizens and illegal aliens. Both are released back into our

society, courtesy of the incompetent United States government.

It's good to be an illegal immigrant in America!

Try following this "logic": an illegal alien gets convicted of a crime,

serves his sentence, and is then handed over to the Immigration service.

More often than not, instead of being deported, the ILLEGAL alien (the key

word being "illegal") is actually released back on the American streets.

Why? Because many countries don't want their own convicts repatriated, so

they deny or delay the process of deportation. Since the Supreme Court

generally limits the detention of these aliens to 180 days, they go free.

Several small points come to mind:

1. Why are any countries dictating to us what we can and can't do with their

citizens who are in this country illegally?

2. Since undocumented criminal aliens are rearrested an average of eight

times (and we're not talking about stealing a candy bar; most offenses are

robbery, assault, murder, drugs and sexual crimes), has it dawned on our

political leaders that their inaction places every American in grave danger?

3. Perhaps most ironic, by instituting such a policy, our government is, in

fact, committing a crime every time it releases an illegal alien. Aiding and

abetting illegals is unquestionably against the law, and by definition,

setting them free inside America qualifies as both.

A 2006 Department of Homeland Security Inspector General Report estimated

that most of the 302,000 deportable criminals admitted into state and local

facilities in 2007 would be released rather than removed at the end of their

sentence. Given the there are estimated to be between 300,000 and 450,000

illegal aliens in federal, state and local jails already, and that the

taxpayer cost to house these people is staggering, those with minor offenses

should have the charges dropped and immediately deported to their country of

origin. But how do we do this if the other countries are not cooperative? By

refusing to roll over to the whims of other nations. It's time to play

hardball.

Playing Hardball: Deportation Legislation

Sen. Arlen Specter has taken the lead on this issue by introducing a bill

which would deny foreign aid and suspend visa issuances to countries which

delay or refuse to repatriate. This common sense legislation should be

passed swiftly by both houses and signed into law for the immediate benefits

it will produce.

In addition to making the streets safer by deporting illegals (who broke the

law to get here in the first place), the bill would make a significant dent

in our prison overcrowding problem (the Philadelphia prison system houses

8,700 inmates, even though it was only designed for 6,200). Too many

criminals are having their sentences reduced or suspended altogether because

there is simply not enough capacity within our correctional facilities,

placing our law-abiding citizens in jeopardy yet again. It also sends the

message that crime does pay since the odds of serving a full sentence are

remote.

There will also be a huge savings to taxpayers. Since the daily cost to

house prisoners is very expensive (the Philadelphia Prison System cost is

$91/day), it doesn't take a math genius to figure out how much will be saved

by jettisoning the illegal alien deadweight. The numbers speak for

themselves.

It is time America starts taking care of itself first, placing its citizens

ahead of illegal invaders. Our economic future, our physical security, and

continued respect for the rule of law depend on it. For theses reasons,

prompt passage of the Specter legislation is a necessity.
