Good news! If you’re an illegal alien and you get arrested, the Obama administration just made it tougher for you to be deported.
Janet Napolitano, Obama’s head of Homeland Security who was famous for appearing more worried about conservative Americans than Islamic terrorists, announced Friday localities under the 287 (g) program that roll back the enforcement of legal status of arrested illegal aliens.
“To address concerns that individuals may be arrested for minor offenses as a guise to initiate removal proceedings, the new agreement explains that participating local law enforcement agencies are required to pursue all criminal charges that originally caused the offender to be taken into custody.”
In essence, that means local authorities must end the practice of arresting those who are charged with some minor offenses, said a senior federal official who didn’t wished to be named. (Times)
17-year-old Alison Kunhardt and 16-year-old Tessa Tranchant were lost to their Virginia Beach family and friends after Alfredo Ramos, illegally in this country, slammed his car drunkenly into theirs after his repeated “minor” offenses resulted in no one noticing his illegal status. The genius judge actually suspended his driver’s license, and it wasn’t even a real license.
The point was repeatedly made, and agreed with by an overwhelming number of people, that illegal aliens who commit crimes – ANY CRIME – should be deported.
Obama needs to tap Napolitano on the shoulder and reverse her course.
