So by that logic - Every single person who was sharing classified military operational details on personal equipment using the SIGNAL app should be arrested. Seriously this post is naive to think that people who have power are actually held accountable.
And as someone who worked for DHS ICE I can personally tell you that the reason more undocumented migrants aren’t deported is complex but let me break it down for you as simply as I can:
- Undocumented migrants means UNDOCUMENTED. When you travel to any country on the planet you have a passport. Folks who are here illegally DO NOT HAVE documentation including a passport.
So, we can ship people to any country we want but there is nothing forcing that country to take those people into their borders without documentation. That’s a big part of what ERO does is figuring out where the person is actually from and then getting the documentation together to make it so that they can be deported to the country of origin and that country will actually accept them back into their border. It’s this little thing called nation state severity.
ERO LEOs could literally round up thousands of illegals every day but with only around 35,000 bed capacity in service processing centers those round ups would overwhelm the system and jam it up because the system has the dependancy on foriegn nation states “ACCEPTING THEM”. And a lot of time ESPECIALLY with criminal aliens those nations DO NOT WANT THEM. I mean can you blame them? A Zeta or other trans national gang member is a burden to any nation so why would a Brazil or Columbia say “Oh yeah send Marcos down.. we’d love to have a murderer back in our borders!!!”
- The law needs to be changed. Immigration law provides for due process and there are too few judges and lawyers. Loop holes in visa need to be enforced because the majority of folks who are here illegally are on expired student or work visas. The SEVIS system needs to fully funded and enforced.
Bottom line to all the armchair QBs out there. You have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ve worked in SPCs, I’ve worked support for large take downs, I’ve been on the border (Falcon Dam, Calixico, El Centro, US Customs and Border Protection Santa Teresa Port of Entry to name of few of the spots I worked to be specific).
The reality is that ICE/ERO and HSI know exactly where the illegal migrants are. But the system is broken and there aren’t enough beds in SPCs and Contract dentention facilities. There aren’t enough Judges, there aren’t enough planes, boats, trains. Why??? BECAUSE YOU DON’T SUPPORT RAISING TAXES.
WHY? Because rich people don’t support raising taxes and they like having a labor force they can exploit. I know that for a fact based on the amount of widespread FRAUD in the agriculture sector. There are criminal organization dedicated to created fraudulent false identity papers to SELL to illegal migrant farm workers. Who then in turn show up to corporate owned farms who knowingly accept those papers but pay less then minimum wage because they know they can get away with it.
So, everyone on this thread. Call you congressman or senator and demand they reform the immigration law. Demand they fund more judges, more ICE ERO agents, more beds, or in other words FIX THE GOD DAM system. Bitching about New York people is irrelevant to that fact. If you are TRULY serious about getting rid of illegal immigrants then do something other than complaining about poeple that in the big picture DO NOT MATTER.
Why because if the immigration system was working properly there would be nothing they could do to stop ICE ERO from conducting raids, take downs, and delivering illegals to the justice department for prosecution and a JPAT flight back to the host nation!!!
God dam the level of ignorance in this country about immigration just pisses me off. DEMAND TODAY - FIX THE SYSTEM! Seriously. Its been like 3 months and not ONE SINGLE immigration bill has hit either floor of the senate or house!!! WHY??? WHY??? Republicans have complete and total control over the government and could change immigration law for a generation!! BUT NOTHING! BTW - EOs are not law and are about as durable as a toy BB gun.
So for the love of GOD call your elected representatives and DEMAND that the immigration LAWS be changed. DEMAND that the immigration system be fixed NOW. Everything else is just useless security theater by politicians who think you’re too dumb to notice that 3 months in an NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IMMIGRATION!!!
