High re-arrest rate for illegal immigrants
Sac Bee ^ | 1/9/07 | Marisa Taylor

Illegal immigrants are being released from prison only to be arrested on new charges despite government efforts to deport them and keep them out of the country.

The findings are part of an audit by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine that suggest authorities are still struggling to deport illegal immigrants who commit crimes, even though most state and local authorities are notifying immigration authorities of the imminent release of prisoners.

Fine's office analyzed the cases of 100 immigrants who had served time in prison and found 73 of them were re-arrested for committing a crime after being released.

On average, each immigrant was re-arrested six times, ranging from traffic violations to assault.

Fine's office couldn't determine how many illegal immigrants had been re-arrested overall because immigration authorities don't keep track. If the sample was any indication, "the rate at which released criminal aliens are re-arrested is extremely high," the report said.

Simple solution...Dont release them from jail. Mandatory death sentence for breaking our immigration laws.

That's 538 arrests in total (100 original, 438 re-arrests). That's 538 rides in a police car; 538 mug shots; 538 appearances before a judge...etc.

And that's only ONE HUNDRED illegals that were in the study...

"Fine's office analyzed the cases of 100 immigrants who had served time in prison and found 73 of them were re-arrested for committing a crime after being released."

For our leaders, this is a small price to pay for the building of the North American Union. For them, it's multiculturalism and economics before America. I'm not sure who wins in the end if this continues unabated, but it won't be the American people.

most republicans are capitalists until it comes to health care and retirement...then it's "for the children" or "for the old" and we can all be socialists.

The problem with health care is that about every private attempt, i.e., HMO's, etc., has failed. The difference is when a private venture goes bust, it either folds, merges or goes away in some other manner. The government venture will also fail, but instead of going away it will hire a PR firm to tell you it's working while costs go up and services diminish, people die, and the bureaucracy gets more and more bloated, inefficient and insensitive. It will NEVER, EVER go away.

HRA's with tort reform would be a better solution than
repeated attempts to further involve the gubmint.

"who wins.....but it won't be the American people".
------Can I beg to differ in a sinister way: it WILL be the American people. The NEW American people, who will be unrecognizable from the American people we grew up with.
Our own government is moving aggressively against US, using the delicious tension of Muslim sleepers, CAIR, the ACLU, special interest groups demagoguing the issue of illegal immigrants,the illegals themselves dictating to US how they are to be treated, just as the Muslims do through their political agencies, etc. etc. , using all that, and more as political tools against the captive population, who USED to be the most important constituency, indeed the ONLY political constituency.
NOW, WE are merely the ones "who make it all possible", on whose backs everyone else gets a free, or reduced-price ride. Yes, it will be the NEW American people who will win, and WE, the OLD American people who will have to struggle mightily to keep from losing; funny, it used to be the immigrants who had to struggle mightily to keep from losing; and what that suggests is that we could very easily be put in the position similar to the British farmers in Zimbabwe, having everything they built taken away from them, for the sake of "the common good"--much like the Eminent Domain argument, where the roles have been reversed behind our backs. Now it is GOVERNMENT who claims eminence, and not the people, who gave them the power to claim anything they want/

Yes, with the 'gubmint', solutions are rarely solutions but they're always permanent.

We knew this YEARS ago. It's the open turnstile at the Mexican border, encouraged by the Washington elites who are promising them amnesty.

America is getting screwed without a kiss...

Not a mandatory death sentence...mandatory banishment to the other side of the Wall. Oh yeah, we don't have a Wall.

Mandatory death sentence for breaking our immigration laws.

Why stop there? Death for speed-limit violators!!! Death for jaywalkers!!!
