Following Up On Miss. Illegals Bust, Plus 62 More
Posted on August 27, 2008
Following up on yesterdays story of a huge bust in Mississippi
As a result of yesterday’s enforcement action, approximately 595 illegal aliens were arrested by ICE special agents. Of those, approximately 106 were identified as being eligible for an alternative to detention based on humanitarian reasons. These individuals will still be required to appear before a federal immigration judge who will ultimately determine whether or not they will be deported.
Eight criminal cases have been accepted for prosecution by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Mississippi. The criminal cases are focused on charges of aggravated identity theft. The other cases are being handled via administrative law procedures at the Department of Homeland Security.
Good for ICE. I still think that the government should also focus much more of their ire on the companies that hire illegals, with massive fines and penalties. If there are no jobs, less illegals will come.

EDINBURG, Texas — Federal agents found 62 illegal immigrants in a two-bedroom house after receiving a tip about suspicious activity in a quiet neighborhood Tuesday.
Neighbors on both sides of the duplex where Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents found the immigrants were shocked by the news.
“I was just looking around thinking ‘where would they all fit,’” said Cris Melaragno, who lives in another duplex next door. “I barely have room for me and my three kids.”
And, before any bleeding hearts complain about the plight of those poor Mexicans
The undocumented immigrants hailed from a variety of Central American countries including Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Mexico, said ICE spokeswoman Adelina Pruneda.
Pretty sad that the words “undocumented immigrants” would appear in a Texas news site.
Anyhow, just like a few years of pennies, nickles, and dimes added up to $75 at one of those Coinstar machines last week, we are slowly getting the illegals. Hopefully, faster then they are streaming in.

Even, if our Federal government continues to keep its head in the sand, its our STATE and LOCAL governments Job to enforce our LAWs and yes INCLUDING every AMERICAN citizen (ALL RACES) to keep out Illegal Aliens from OUR Country.
Tell your Government you are tired and want them out and the business that hire the illegals held accountable.

Nice going ICE. This will make the LIBs weep in Denver. How dare we enforce our laws (the ones they helped pass). Can’t wait for the ACLU to get involved. I like it when they get smacked down.
If we keep the pressure on, the illegals will head south out of fear.
Don’t forget about the hundreds of victims, those whose ID they stole. I can tell you first hand, it takes years to correct. In fact it can’t ever be fully corrected. The only thing worse than stealing a person’s ID, is stealing their life. I hope these miserable thieves’s get 20 years in jail, minimum.
Regardless of one’s views on amnesty (I,m against it), there are far too many illegals in the US. There just isn’t enough work for all that have come. At many dozens of “shape up” locations here in NYC, especially along Northern Blvd in Queens and at several places along 8 th Ave in midtown Manhattan, there remain large numbers of not to be employed illegals as late as 11 AM. Many begin drifting away by noon to wander the city with nothing to do. Some will engage in petty crime, some will get drunk. In the nicer weather some have taken to camping out in local parks. they usually select the smaller settings, less patrolled by police and Parks Dept. Enforcement, fouling things for local residents.
For many of these men and a few women, getting here has been no small amount of trouble. They often owe serious $$ to “brokers”/coyoties. If even a modest % of the total are returned home, many will decide that the additional risk of being sent home after all of the trouble taken to come here, tips the balance in favor of not leaving home.
We all need to report illegals and the places they work. We need to stop supporting companies that hire people who don’t speak English and who suspect are illegal. For every illegal there is an American out of a job, and countless other Americans paying for that illegals health care, etc. Our children are getting less of an education, public schools are forced to teach their anchor babies how to speak English and our tax dollars are again paying for their presence here. Build the fence, deport and stop all immigration until we get control back of our borders.
