NEW BEDFORD, Mass. - Illegal immigrants living in New Bedford and Fall River said they're scared to cross into Rhode Island, following Gov. Don Carcieri's enforcement of immigration laws.
Under the governor's executive order, Rhode Island State Police have been directed to process immigrants, which could fast track an illegal immigrant's deportation.
"Instead of taking a look at the problem, which is a political problem around immigration, having these kinds of executive orders by scapegoating the immigrants just drives more people underground and creates a climate of more fear," said Corinn Williams, who works with immigrants in New Bedford.
Advocates worry that stepped-up environment will keep immigrants from reporting crimes.
I think I may just cry!!!
Tears of joy!!
Maybe I should move to Rhode Island. Wonder if I can find a job there.
But we’ve been told that deporting 12 Million illegals just isn’t possible .......... < /sarcasm flag off)
Enforce the laws, and they will deport themselves.
Just deport them to Provincetown
All R.I. has to do is escort them to the coast and tell them to swim home.
They work at the companies owned by the mob in Fall River and surrounds. A bunch of low life employers taking full advantage of their employees’ illegal status to keep them scared and working for scraps. They’re better off out of this country, but probably can’t afford the ticket home.
Like what, being here?
” having these kinds of executive orders by scapegoating the immigrants just drives more people underground and creates a climate of more fear,” said Corinn Williams”
Perhaps....but it also keeps the criminal aliens out of RI....which is the goal..
We also need to create the “climate of fear” for the slimy employers too.
“Enforce the laws, and they will deport themselves.”
Your eight words are all that is really needed to save America.
I used to live in R.I. It’s okay, but has one of the highest state/local tax rates in the country
Williams is a little on the stupid side, they are illegals not immigrants, round them up ship them home. End of problem.
Great. Now they’ll move to the self declared sanctuary cities of New Haven and Hartford Connecticut.

I think miss williams is just upset that those illegal aliens are going to have to remain in that cesspool called New Bedford. the Govenor of RI is simply enforcing the law. these illegals know they are breaking the law and therefore should be punished. it’s about time the free ride for these people ended.
what does that have to do with illegals? illegals are a signifigant drain on the tax base. they don’t pay taxes and they receive public services.
Doubt it.
We’re in lousy shape.
There’s still 200,000 illegals among our one million population.
The guv is acting to stop our circling the drain. Not enough and not in time.
He’d be stupid to end his career with that creep.
This is supposed to make me feel bad? Well, I say boo-hoo. GO HOME!
Well done Rhode Island!
Ping!
Got that right!
BUST 'EM!
TAKE THEIR STUFF!
GRAB 'EM BY THE SCRUFF OF THE NECK AND KICK THEIR ILLEGAL ARSE ACROSS THAT BORDER!!!
Not that all this really bothers me or anything /s
