Illegal Immigration Today: 1150, Gangs, And Lack Of Data

They are having fun in the free-wheeling, party on the beach (oops, sorry, climate change has stopped those) State of California

In the biggest action of its kind, federal immigration agents have arrested more than 1,150 people statewide in raids targeting illegal immigrants who ignored deportation orders.

Buh bye. You know there were some whiners, though, right?

But Danny Morales, an activist with the Riverside-based National Alliance for Human Rights, which supports the legalization of millions of illegal immigrants, called the arrests “deplorable.”

“It’s so inhumane that they’re doing this,” he said. “Many of them have families and young children here, and many of those people are U.S. citizens.”

God forbid a country founded on the rule of law should follow the law. Guess what, Danny? The illegals can take their kids with them back to the old country. Besides, where are the complaints when mom or dad are sent to the pokey for breaking and entering, being separated from their kids?

A new Center for Immigration Studies Backgrounder finds that immigration law enforcement has been highly effective in fighting gang activity around the country. Local law enforcement agencies that shun involvement with immigration law enforcement are missing an opportunity to protect their communities, according to the authors. Since 2005, ICE has arrested more than 8,000 immigrant gangsters from more than 700 different gangs under an initiative known as Operation Community Shield.

That sounds like pretty good news, eh, Danny? But, I bet you are upset that these gang bangers, killers, rapists, thieves, drug dealers, etc, will be separated from their families and kids.

You’ve heard it from pundits and read it online: Illegal immigrants are clogging our legal system. They may come with the dreams of work and a better life, but they bring increased crime and strife.

But it’s anyone’s guess how many illegal immigrants enter the justice system, and how much it costs taxpayers. Neither the state nor the federal courts formally keep track.

“The data (are) terrible, and lead to entirely different conclusions,” said Steven Camarota, of the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports tighter immigration controls. “No one has made it a priority. No one has ever wanted to know.”

Super. And Democrats want the same governments to be in charge of health care for all.

    Ok I am getting tired of correcting the misconception that there are illegal immigrants. There is no such thing if you are an immigrant you have gone through some type of legal process. If you snuck into this country or you over stayed your visa you are an illegal alien. You are a criminal. You broke our laws. You need to be deported back to your country of origin. What ever the reason you are here illegally is not our concern. You have no excuse none. So therefore all illegal aliens young or old should be deported.

    Danny Morales, like most of his kind, will not take his skills and education down to Mexico and live and work there to make Mexico a better place to live. Instead, he insists that it is the duty of the American people, the vast majority of who mow our own yards, clean our own houses, park our own cars and watch our own children or take them to daycare, to pick up the bill for the health, education welfare of the bottom half of Mexico. God forbid that they should howl about social injustice in the streets of Mexico where they earn $5 a day! No, no. It is all our fault that a country filled with Mexicans, run by Mexicans and all doing things the Mexican way should be such a sewer that even most Mexicans don’t want to live there. No, no. They want to live in the nice country we’ve made and pretend it is their country! They want to pack our country with Mexicans, with more and more of them running our country and doing things the Mexican way! Look at Mexico. Do the rest of us want to live in that hellhole? No,no,no,no,no!!!!! Mexicans illegals are as welcome as the plague.
