While Mr. Gonzales's confirmation as the first Hispanic attorney general buoyed many Hispanics, he showed no sign in his remarks on Monday of backing away from the Bush administration's efforts to speed deportation proceedings for illegal immigrants. Under Mr. Ashcroft, the Justice Department sought to streamline the process for immigration judges to hear appeals in deportation and asylum cases, and Mr. Gonzales said the system was in need of further repair.
He said that the Justice Department and federal courts were "straining under the weight of an immigration litigation system that is broken" and that illegal immigrants facing criminal charges were receiving too many chances to appeal their fates. He urged Congress to move quickly on proposals that would expedite the process.
The “inherent authority” finding of the OLC was confirmed and confused by a June 2002 letter from White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales to the Migration Policy Institute, in which Gonzales stated that “state and local police have inherent authority to arrest and detain persons who are in violation of immigration laws and whose names have been placed in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC)”.
He's only refering to illegals with criminal warents againt them, hell will freeze over before he goes after the vast majority that haven't comitted a felony or the peoplew that employ them who are the big problem.
