U.S. Senator Pat Roberts urged Congress to pass three bills to give law enforcement officers more tools to enforce the nation’s immigration laws. “These three bills are common sense proposals to strengthen enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws,” Roberts said. “I have heard from many, many Kansans and local law enforcement officers who are frustrated with illegal immigrants detained time and again, openly violating our laws.” Roberts has cosponsored three bills to do the following:
❏ Better enable state and local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws S. 2717: This legislation clarifies the authority of state and local law enforcement to investigate, identify, apprehend, or transfer to federal custody illegal immigrants to enforce federal immigration laws. It also requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to transfer to the National Crime Information Center the names of aliens subject to a final order of removal or voluntary departure agreement.
The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to take an illegal alien into custody within 72 hours of being apprehended or arrested by local or state law enforcement officers. It also requires the department to designate at least one prison or jail within each state as the central facility for law enforcement entities to transfer custody of criminal or illegal immigrants.
In addition, the bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to reimburse state and local entities for all reasonable expenses associated with the detention and transportation of criminal and illegal immigrants.
❏ Require the secure fence to be completed S. 2712, the Complete the Fence Act: Under this bill, the 700 miles of fencing required by the Secure Fence Act must be completed by Dec. 31, 2010. It specifies that vehicle barriers and virtual fencing cannot be used to fulfill the 700 mile requirement. In addition, the legislation requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a report to Congress on the fencing.
❏ Incresae criminal penalties for illegal immigration S. 2709: The bill increases the criminal penalties for illegally entering the United States. Roberts said he opposes amnesty for illegal aliens and is an outspoken advocate for securing the nation’s borders before further immigration reform.

More ID theft! Utility bill lands illegal immigrant in hot water From Staff Reports Friday, Apr. 18, 2008 9:51 am
BURLINGTON — The Alamance County Sheriff's Office said it received a report on April 1 from James Walker of Burlington, who told deputies that his state tax refund check was $288.12 less than he expected. That's because the city of Raleigh had garnisheed his refund for failing to pay his water bill.
Problem was, the sheriff's office said, Walker had no water account with the city of Raleigh. Deputies discovered that someone had used Walker's Social Security number to obtain water service in Raleigh. Thursday morning, Raleigh police arrested a man named Jose Armando Sierra Martinez, 40, of 5110 Neuse Commons Lane, Apt. 104, Raleigh.
Deputies said they were able to determine that Martinez is Jimence Carlos Aqudelo, who was from Colombia and had been previously deported. Aqudelo has been charged with one count of felony identity theft, and he is being held in the Alamance County jail on an $8,000 bond.

Thanks for the post. We need a website that simply lists the details of serious crimes committed by illegals.
I am glad Senator Roberts is taking this stand contrary to most who represent ag states like my own . However , we can pass laws till hell freezes over and nothing will happen until the executive branch puts it in gear .
Someone on the ping list does have links to that kind of web site...maybe he or she will post them here today...
http://www.victimsofillegalaliens.com/
VOIAC is a registry and data base for Victims of Illegal Alien Crime.
Through exclusive FSM investigation, we have discovered
that crimes committed by foreign nationals, including
illegal aliens, on American soil are not tracked,
recorded, or reported by the FBI or the Justice
Department as being committed by foreign nationals.
This includes all crimes, including those committed
by illegal alien terrorists to illegal alien criminals
who are currently molesting, raping, killing, and
murdering Americans in shocking numbers.
In essence, not only are the victims of illegal alien
crime ignored and forgotten, they are not even given
the dignity of being a statistic.
They just disappear.
We are creating this registry and data base to change
this disgrace, because the government should be
tracking this aspect of crime.
Through the VOIAC data base, FSM will attempt to
correct this malfeasance.
It is to be noted that the President and Congress
swore an oath to protect and defend the citizens
of the United States;
it is their primary responsibility and their actions,
or lack thereof, are an abrogation of sworn duty making
the majority of them malefactors.
Somebody introduce Roberts to John McCain.
At this point, I’d settle for ANY enforcement of immigration laws.
Why don’t they use some of those hi-tech FEMA detention camps to detain these criminal invaders....ops, I forgot, many of our leaders consider them as welcome guests.
There needs to be a webpage that lists the immigration judges who allow there aliens to remain in the United States after they have committed serious crimes.

Yeah, it should include their home address and social security number.
“At this point, I’d settle for ANY enforcement of immigration laws.”
Then what they’re pushing on us is working isn’t it? Make us happy to get anything.......
Thanks, Chief, for the reply - I was fairly certain someone would have a link!
I’ve copied it for my own use, should the question arise again.
