Gwinnett County, Ga. Trying to get on the program.
I'll continue to say this until it happens or hell freezes over: EVERY jail in this nation should screen every arrestee as to their immigration status and if they're illegally in this country they should be turned over to ICE.
Not said in this article is that there is another program other than the 287 (g) called CAP. I believe the difference is that a jail doesn't have to have ICE certified officers but can send information to ICE to check immigration status of arrestees.
The issue of illegal immigration and the costs and consequences of it is a major issue in Gwinnett County. According to Conway, his deputies booked nearly 12,000 foreign nationals through the jail last year. He does not know how many were illegal, but county officials say the costs of law enforcement and delivering other services to the illegal immigrant community in the county costs taxpayers millions of dollars. 12,000 last year???!!!
