This program is a step in the right direction for sure. Here's the broad definition of the program I read in a paper:

Quote:
The Section 287(g) agreement gives local police the authority and the tools to identify and send illegal aliens toward deportation. In Gwinnett County, individuals in police custody or brought to the jail will be subject to immigration verification. Local police will have access to the ICE database to help them identify illegal aliens.
I'm surprised the new DHS is even still allowing these programs. They have been successfull and I think they are only in place in a handful of areas with a large illegal population, like Gwinnett has.

I've read that the budget mess may cause the start of this program to be delayed as they will need to hire some more officers, but I think most are in agreement this isn't something they should be cutting.

I think this program will help reduce crime over time and also free up jail beds currently occupied by illegals.

I'm all for immigration reform, I'm not supporter of illegal aliens, but this is a waste of resources.This is a federal issue, even if Gwinnett arrest illegals the process of deporation is complicated and will not stem the flow of aliens to Metro Atlanta or nationally. These same people will not be deported unless they are violent felons or drug dealers.

If you want to stop illegal immigrants it starts with denying them jobs. The Federally or State goverments lack the will to do this, because they are corporate slaves.

One of the reasons Gwinnett is implementing the program is because the government want illegals to NOT consider Gwinnett as a place to call home. There are several counties that maybe affected by this, including all of the counties that do not have this program in place (DeKalb, Clayton, Fulton, Fayette, Henry...even Paulding, just to name a few). Most illegals will probably migrate to these areas to avoid deportation due to even minor interactions with law enforcement.
