Once again, a stark reminder of how America’s failure to carry out interior enforcement against illegal aliens is at least as critical as our wide open border.
U.S. Border Patrol agents say they have detained an illegal alien who’s racked up 37 criminal convictions in the United States.
“Due to the suspect’s numerous criminal convictions, he was processed for an Administrative Removal and will be removed to Mexico,” said the announcement from Customs and Border Patrol.
Police in Rochester, N.Y. arrested the man on Saturday, July 20. They called the Border Patrol for assistance after the suspect gave three different names to a Rochester police officer.
Agents determined that the suspect was in the United States illegally, and a check of the database showed that he has 37 convictions, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, on charges such as narcotics violations, assault on a federal officer, burglary and robbery, an arrest record stretching all the way back to 1982.
Yet Border Patrol says it first learned of the man on Saturday. Why? Because the Northeast, where this illegal plied his trade, is filled with “sanctuary” states and cities, who refuse to contact Federal authorities when immigration violators are arrested.
And in the past 5 years, our interior enforcement has been completely gutted. In 2010, the Obama administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) announced that it would focus its enforcement efforts on finding and removing illegal aliens who have broken criminal laws in this country.
Under the new policy, federal agents may issue detainers (requests to assume custody of an illegal alien) only for those convicted or charged with a felony; those with three or more misdemeanor convictions, excluding traffic offenses and other minor crimes; and those whose misdemeanors are more serious, such as offenses involving violence or driving under the influence.
ICE union president Chris Crane and his 7,200 immigration agents are suing Obama to end his policy of detainers and reduced enforcement for criminal illegal aliens, and they are having unexpected success towards that aim.
Crane’s lawsuit, Crane v. Napolitano, received a big boost in May when Federal Judge Judge Reed O’Connor told DHS that they had no power to refuse to deport illegal aliens, and that he was likely to strike down Obama’s virtual “DACA” amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.
We stand with Crane, his agents and their lawsuit, which seeks to restore the rule of law to interior immigration enforcement, and put an end to the thousands of virtual amnesties illegals like this deportee have enjoyed under our broken system.
