While ICE was on pace to achieve "the Agency goal of 150,000 Criminal alien removals" for the year ending Sept. 30, total deportations were set to barely top 310,000, "well under the Agency's goal of 400,000," and nearly 20 percent behind last year's total of 387,000, he wrote.
Chaparro laid out how the agency would pump up the numbers: by increasing detention space to hold more illegal immigrants while they await deportation proceedings; by sweeping prisons and jails to find more candidates for deportation and offering early release to those willing to go quickly; and, most controversially, with a "surge" in efforts to catch illegal immigrants whose only violation was lying on immigration or Visa appication or re-entering the U.S. after being deported.
so as more and more aliens are rounded up for mnor infraction as trespassing, ICE is either going to build more detention centers at a increase in Taxes... and while that come thru the pipeline, early release will be offered. So all that tax money used to arrset day laborers is only forcing ICE to revolve the door in order to keep the serious criminal alien locked up.
Illegals are costing taxpayers billions annually anyway, whether it’s through deportation procedures or their simple presence. They are a scourge that must be stopped, by any means necessary.

Well rumor has it that they are detaining illegals for at least a month and up to three months instead of quick release and voluntary departure.
That will serve as a deterrant. Imagine disappearing off the face of the earth as far as loved ones back home, no one knows where you might be, your family doesn't know if you're safe, kidnapped or in some detention center somewhere - and they can't call you to let you know. Then after all that time -- maybe 4 weeks and no remittance money to send home - you are released into some border town and go home empty handed.
That does send a message - and what isn't feasible is to keep the border completely open and allow however many millions to come and demand their amnesty and whatever they want the government to give them. Do you know unemployment rates are up to 10% in some areas of the country?
Recently a couple brothers from near Mexico City came over the border at Sonora. The smugglers shot up north on some side road to get around check points and for some reason went through Colorado and then down into Texas - to Houston. They made it okay, they called home.
Now no one knows where they are, no one has heard from them and it's been 3 weeks. No remittance money either. It might just be that they can't get to a phone but the family is at this point hoping they're in an INS detention center somewhere because then the family knows they're at least safe and will be on their way home soon enough. It's the not knowing that's killing them now. There is probably a way for the family to find out but they don't know how.
For that reason, I'm sort of okay with quick voluntary departure, but I know that has become nothing but a revolving door.
Do the math. 150,000 criminals out of 310,000 total. That's 50%. But they only apprehend about 1 in 3 who cross the border illegally, so close to one million crossed illegally. I am glad Nappy has the border under control. I was afraid some terrorists might get through.
That’s the nickname for Janet Napolitano. I misunderstood the first time I heard it also.
