The Trump administration is laying out its plans for ramping up enforcement of illegal immigration. Memos released Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security say the agency is changing the way it prioritizes people for deportation.

When people who’ve entered the country illegally are detained in the Midwest, some of them fly out of Indiana. Every week families say their goodbyes – not knowing when they’ll see each other again.

"not knowing when they’ll see each other again."

As if they're being sent to Siberia....

[unixfox]

"not knowing when they’ll see each other again."

It's not like they all don't have smart phones. I can't stand this poor poor pitiful me crap!

[Dr. Sivana]

Meanwhile, a humble but honest campesino with dreams of a better life is bumped up in the queue to enter the country properly.

Holy crap. Illegal aliens are not allowed IN in any other country in the world. No one ever cries when someone is found illegally in Spain or Switzerland and sent right out. It is the right of every other land.

Why did we ever have an Ellis Island?

[Buckeye McFrog]

After the drive through Gary, Mexico is gonna look pretty damned good to them.

[golux]

Well, there you have it: not much good ever came out of Gary, Indiana.

[litehaus]

GARY was chosen to ‘acclimate’ the deportees to 3rd world enviroment...

[bigdaddy45]

Except the Jackson 5

[PGalt]

HOORAY I.C.E.

[Gaffer]

I say we contract it out to FedEx or UPS. Much faster and cheaper. And you can track the packages.... :0)

[bigbob]

I’d guess a bunch of legal Gary residents are lining up, hoping there’s an extra seat...

Every week families say their goodbyes – not knowing when they’ll see each other again.

Well ... nothing overcomes all that heartache like staying together. ALL should go, then.

[Twinkie]

My ancestors came to America legally, from England, France
(Huguenots) & others. My American Indian ancestors were
already here. It was handed down to me to do things legally,
the right way. - My cousin & her husband were killed by
a drunk illegal in an automobile projectile, leaving behind
small children.

[posterchild]

Is it one weekly flight to one destination or is there a different destination each week? I read it twice and apparently missed mention of the destination.

[Cheerio]

"not knowing when they’ll see each other again."
It's not like they all don't have smart phones. I can't stand this poor poor pitiful me crap!

Who is forcing a portion of "the family" to stay behind in this horribly unfair and immoral America?

Up the deportations and let these ILLEGAL border invaders and visa overstayers squeal some more.

Crimes That Will Make an Immigrant Deportable

How crimes of moral turpitude, aggravated felonies, and other crimes can make even a green card holder deportable from the U.S.

By Ilona Bray , J.D.
All immigrants, including those with green cards, can be deported if they violate U.S. immigration laws. The most common reason for people to be placed into removal proceedings is because there is evidence that they have been convicted of a crime.

Specifically, immigrants are at risk of being deported if they are convicted of either what is called a "crime of moral turpitude" or an "aggravated felony.” In addition, certain crimes are specifically listed as being grounds for deportation.

This article addresses what criminal convictions will cause a person who has not left the country after committing the crime to get deported, as well as whether any recourse may be available to the offender. A longer list of crimes can get an immigrant deported if he or she leaves the country, comes back, and is put into removal proceedings upon return. Such persons, even if they are let back into the country, are considered to be seeking readmission to the United States, so any crimes they have committed since their previous admission may make them “inadmissible” and deportable. For a discussion of these crimes, see “Crimes That Make U.S. Visa or Green Card Applicants Inadmissible.”

What Counts as a Crime of Moral Turpitude Under Immigration Law

"Crimes of moral turpitude" are not well defined in U.S. immigration law. However, the Department of State has provided guidance, noting that the most common elements of a moral turpitude crime will include "fraud, larceny, and intent to harm persons or things." Crimes involving dishonesty and theft will almost always be considered crimes of moral turpitude. Other examples would be assault with the intent to rob or kill, spousal abuse, and aggravated driving under the influence ("DUI" or "DWI").

As there are too many examples of crimes that have been found to involve moral turpitude to list here, it is safest to take a certified disposition of your offense (obtained from the clerk of the court where your case was heard) to a criminal or immigration attorney in order to learn whether your particular type of conviction has been found to be one.

It may be possible to argue that your conviction should not be classified as a crime of moral turpitude, or that the statute that you violated contains elements that would not always pertain to a crime of moral turpitude. These types of defenses will be highly dependent upon the wording of the statute under which you were convicted. Criminal statutes almost always come from state law, so you may be raising brand new questions about how these statutes are interpreted under federal immigration law.

They probably all have multiple “0bama phones” which we pay for.

That would be Gary "International" Airport located just over the Illinois/Indiana border from where I currently live.

Boy, I'd sure like to go watch those planes take-off......

[Hotlanta Mike]

They are being repatriated to their homelands - call it the family RE-UNIFICATION program....

You've obviously been through Gary, Indiana! LOL!!!

Not sure which is worse: Gary or the South side of Chicago (Gresham, Wrightwood, etc..) all of which look like bombed out little cities of their own .....
