Ridding U.S. Of Criminal Illegal Immigrants Finally ending the longtime practice of releasing criminal illegal aliens who complete U.S. prison sentences, a new federal program has identified thousands who will instead be deported.
In its short existence, the Criminal Alien Program has found nearly 12,000 incarcerated illegal aliens across the country in both state and federal prisons. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers now monitor jails nationwide to ensure that offenders in the country illegally are not released into the community by securing a removal order prior to the end of the prison sentence.
Before the implementation of the much-needed program, thousands of criminals were annually released because local law enforcement officials claim inmates’ immigration status is the federal government’s to identify. The consequences have been costly for U.S. taxpayers who fund the incarceration of repeat offenders and deal with the risk of living next to them.
ICE estimates that more than half a million alien criminals in U.S. jails have not been identified for removal and that another 275,000 are at large. The Homeland Security agency is particularly concerned about aliens held in state and county facilities that get released before ICE officers identify them.
One of the more innovative arguments against the Criminal Alien Program, Is that it will lead illegal immigrants to stop reporting child abuse or domestic violence to protect husbands and fathers from deportation. The head of a radical Chicano group called Mexican American Political Association, Nativo Lopez, took it a step further in saying that the program weakens and eliminates civil liberties.
The 47-year-old California-based group demands legal rights for all Latinos, including illegal immigrants, and organizes massive marches in an effort to intimidate lawmakers into passing legislation that grants them. The organization’s leader actually changed his name from Larry to Nativo in order to sound more Mexican and ethnic and American Patrol says he is a life-long ethnic hustler and advocate for the disastrous illegal alien invasion of the United States.
Marches would get the job done...

Glenn Beck put it best last night when he said, "Illegal aliens don't have civil rights. They have human rights, but not civil rights."
Window dressing, just like the meat packing plant raids.
I want all of these criminals gone, not just 12,000. Hell, in the grand scheme of things, 12k is nothing.
All illegal aliens are criminals, have shown willing to break laws if it benefits them, and pose a horrific danger to this country. We are being conquered by this invasion of undesirables - and President Bush just laughs while Jeb Bush and his son want more of them.
Think we'll see Dane on this thread? Dane. Oh Dane, come out from under your bed.
Actually they have civil rights granted to them by the Congress or by the courts in the course of interpreting the Constitution (we all know they only do that, right? right). The 1990 U.S. V. Verdugo-Urquidez is the best example of that; a really bad example would be Plyler v. Doe.
But the essential point is the same: they aren't citizens, and their political impact on the nation and its laws should be zero.
Glad to see I'm not the only one to watch Glenn, even if he is on CNN.
And he nailed it right on the head with that statement.
Yeah I like the figure of something along the lines of 12 million myself. Think of the Americans that could get their jobs back building houses, laying carpet, wiring house, etc that the illegals have stolen.
We really need to worrying about Anchor babies, y'all. The illegals are coming here and having babies one after another.
Since we don't secure the border, most of these predators will be back with a vengeance!
The illegals have broken the code..have the anchor baby in the US and it's a literal "jackpot". It's the goose that laid the golden egg.
Cut off the families entitlements and benefits, (kill that goose) and start deporting the parents.

Well Said.
In most of America the Sheriff runs the jail. Programs exist to allow deputies to check the immigration status of prisoners. It is working very well in Charlotte NC. Sheriff's everywhere need to get on board.
What time is Glenn Beck on CNN? I've looked for him, but haven't found him.
He's on CNN Headline News at 8pm central. Great program.
This entire report sounds "potted."
Thanks 'daddy, I'll be sure to tune in!
