Immigration Crackdown Also Snares Americans
Exact numbers of Americans erroneously held by immigration authorities are hard to come by, since they are not systematically recorded. In one study, 82 people who were held for deportation from 2006 to 2008 at two immigration detention centers in Arizona, for periods as long as a year, were freed after immigration judges determined that they were American citizens.
There is no "immigration crackdown." Border patrol agents are told to let em go unless they're felons and in some cases even get sued by the illegals for arresting them (yup it was really in the news lately)
If anything this is more government "pro illegal immigrant" propaganda.
Any opinion about the actual article topic?
deportations have reached record levels under Obama, YH
I wonder if they were born in East LA?
I'm sure they have since the legislation enacted under Bush took effect.
what legislation?
I don't recall, but I remember things did happen in a positive manner.
uh huh
The Banksters' Great Jobs Depression and N. MX drug violence has done more to reduce flow northward and to increase flow southward than assholes like Arpaio and fat old white men playing border militiamen.
When/if the economy picks up again, the flows above will reverse tendency.
Plenty of really sad stories of US citizens being imprisoned indefinitely or deported for want of South-African-style-apartheid "iden y papers".
Just like the patriot act is going to ruffle American citizen feathers, this happens.
Yeah, I think it's pure government propaganda to steer us towards being okay with them amnestying the out of about 30 million illegals, or at least not freaking out about it.
But that's not what the article is about. There's no mention of amnesty on it.
What are your thoughts about American citizens being detained up to a year on alleged immigration violations?
do you have any proof the greatly increased number of deportations is a lie?
what is your solution of the 11M illegal aliens in the country? and moan, but no solution, right?
You dense I'm saying that they're only making a big deal about it for bull reasons. It happens. 30 million of your people break the law and it inconveniences 82 of you boo hoo.
if you were detained erroneously and held by immigration for up to a year, you'd think it a big deal
~30 citizens/year detained in error per year is a shocking number to me. those are lives interrrupted. if that gives you peace of mind, your peace of mind. a man's liberty is worth a whole lot more.
btw the lawbreakers you refer to are usually only in violation of administrative rules, not criminal statutes. calling them lawbreakers is misleading inasmuch as the usual sense of the word denotes common criminals.

30 false detentions of US citizens. per year. liberty in the meat grinder of immigration. is cool with YH because immigration is his axe to grind.
would 30 false deportations bug you, YH? just curious.
Not only that, ICE readily admits it has no authority to detain US citizens... sounds like a crime right there to me.
it's facially false imprisonment. ICE needs to be way more careful.
Thrown in jail for a year for administrative inep ude is no big deal?
BTW, they're not 'my people'. My people are the ones wrongfully detained. You know, what the article is about.
lol 30 million
I suspect they're going to arrest the wrong (as in $$$$) person one of these days, and we taxpayers will be on the hook for the bill.
