It’s only a little taste, but a San Francisco reporter got to follow along with ICE agents who track down and arrest illegal felons.
Here’s the link to the article.
I visited a friend in Waukegan a couple days after the city council approved 287(g), and I have to tell you I didn’t get the vibe out of Waukegan that I get in Carpentersville. Maybe this was because I was visiting/shopping in the area of town where Hispanics are definitely not the minority.
Either way, I wish ICE had enough manpower so that the need to turn local police officers into immigration agents was not necessary. I understand why people were out there protesting, the line that they are worried about will undoubtedly be crossed.
Does that mean 287(g) should go away? No, I don’t think so. It is clear ICE can’t keep up with all the cases off illegal felons who are ignoring deportation orders. If a cop happens to catch one of them, good.
Legal citizens who are felons or ex felons are denied the privilege of certain social services- voting, college grants, etc. Why should an illegal felon be allowed to remain in this country where they will be enjoying social services supported by taxpayers?
