Burning Atlanta

This should be happening at every jail in this nation. 

Boot them.

“Up until august of 2007 there was kind of a bench mark based on criminal charges, “ said jail commander Marie Tyler, “where inmates, if they reached a certain level for a seriousness of charge then ICE would want to be contacted. "

After August, ICE wanted to know about every illegal booked into the jail.

“During that time, there’s been a really significant change,” said Tyler.

You can also see the impact in the number of “ICE Transfers”, people who were physically moved to federal custody from the Washington County jail:

2005: 213 transfers

2006: 304 transfers

2007: 696 tranfers

Commander Tyler has also noticed a decline in the number of illegals immigrants showing up at her jail, with 633 fewer booked into the jail in 2007 than 2005. This is all good news. Keep it up. Expand it to every jail.

Now the real outrage. Check out the guy's attitude.

Also here, Jesus Valencia-Valencia. He’s not afraid. He says he’s been in the U.S. 30 of his 43 years. He has three children, all born in America and automatically citizens. Through a translator he says “his whole family is now here in Oregon. They’re gonna send him back? He’ll be back tomorrow, cause he has to. His family is here,” he said. He's lived here 30 years and has to speak through a translator??!! Dear Gate-crasher, pack up your family and move them out of the country where all of you can live together. Arrogant, self-entitled, jerk.

Valencia has a criminal record in America that includes assault, menacing, interfering with making a police report, harassment and parole violation. Oh, another "otherwise law-abiding immigrant."

His claim of a quick return may be wishful thinking. Federal officials say he was deported June 22, 2005. Now he may face federal prison time of two years or more before he’s deported again.
