Though North Carolina has an estimated 300,000 illegal immigrants, the state has one federal deportation officer who's among fewer than 10 people in the state who work for Detention and Removal Operations, a unit of ICE.

The wreck marks the fourth time in three years that Ramiro Gallegos (an illegal alien), 25, of Supply in Brunswick County, has faced DWI charges."It should not take a horrible incident like this to draw attention to this persistent problem plaguing the enforcement of our immigration laws," Myrick wrote.
What happened in court the first three times he faced DWI charges? This strikes me as just as much a failure of the criminal justice system as a failure by the INS.
bayourod and cultural jihad will be along shortly to call you a racist for daring to post this article

Just tell them to sit in the corner and write 50 times on the chalk board: "Telling the truth about illegal immigrants does not make a person a racist."
==========================
There is a reason for that - a very good one (at least on the part of the government).
How about rewarding bounty hunters for the capture of these illegals? Bounty Hunters could handle the situation quickly. word would spread among the illegals. Those areas willing to do this would save more from money normally spent on their social service costs.
(And also cause a few problems along the way.)
Sue Brown, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said... "When we find out that somebody is breaking the immigration law, we don't turn our heads,"
ANYONE ELSE SEE A PROBLEM WITH THESE TWO STATEMENTS?
They can't keep track of sex offenders or illegals, but they can track the legal purchase of sudafed and Martha Stewart has an ankle bracelet.

President Bush faces a major rebellion within his own party if he follows through on a promise to push legislation that would offer millions of illegal immigrants a path to U.S. citizenship. Almost no issue divides Republicans as deeply.
Why? The system seems to work just fine when they do their job with legal residents.
The only problems would be for the invaders who were sent home and the employers who wouldn't have the cheap labor and profits from revenue they generate.
No, they set a hearing date sometime in the next year or two and release them. They never see them again.
The problem seems to be either a turf battle or a faulty system. If there is no visa question, or even if there is, if there is nothing to debate about overstaying a visa, there is no need for a hearing. The hearing judges are so backed up they can't handle the cases and most of the time the scheduled cases just end in a warrant because the perp didn't show.
90% of those cases need no hearing so the INS could easily just become a transporting agency taking those folks back across the border. The locals catch the illegals, they can't prove they are legal or they admit they aren't, then take them to a collection point, put them in vans or buses, and ship them out. Easy, clean, doable.

Hello, Hello, Hello.
Bushjr ---can you hear us now?
Though North Carolina has an estimated 300,000 illegal immigrants, the state has one federal deportation officer who's among fewer than 10 people in the state who work for Detention and Removal Operations, a unit of ICE.
It would be interesting to hear Ms Brown's explanation as to how & why there are 300,000 illegals in North Carolina if as she says "When we find out that somebody is breaking the immigration law, we don't turn our heads,".
"We don't turn our heads", yeah right, you turn your backs.
