Frederick County, Maryland getting on the program
I keep screaming about this and am happy as hell everytime I see another police/sheriff department having their people trained to screen for illegals or having ICE do screening at their jails. Notice the standard playbook response from the pro-illegals everytime there's any mention of enforcing immigration laws. "RACIAL PROFILING!!! SPLITTING-UP FAMILIES. WAAAAAAA" These mindless morons don't want to see ANY enforcement.
Frederick County sheriff's deputies have become the first Maryland law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of people they arrest, a move authorities say is a necessary tool for policing, but one that has sparked an outcry from advocates who say the policy is costly and encourages ethnic profiling.
CASA of Maryland, the state's largest immigrant advocacy group, held a news conference yesterday at which it released a report estimating the policy could cost the county $3.2 million a year. Opponents called for an end to the program, which is the result of an agreement signed Feb. 6 between the Frederick County Sheriff's Department and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Sure I'd believe their figures. Ahh, I wonder if they figured in the costs of illegals?
County Commissioner Charles A. Jenkins said later that he doubted the veracity of CASA's figures and supports the sheriff's efforts. He said the county is reimbursed by the federal government for detaining immigrants.
Rosibel David blames the policy for tearing apart her family and creating fear for immigrants throughout Frederick County. Last Monday, sheriff's deputies stopped and detained the man whom her 5-year-old calls his father, Alejandro Rocha, on an immigration violation. He was a passenger in a car that had been reported stolen, David said. The family lost its main breadwinner, was evicted and forced to move in with friends, relying on their kindness and financial support, David said.
David said when her son sees a police cruiser he cries to his mother, "Is that the one who took my dad?" Oh, boo-hoo. A dirtbag illegal gets discovered driving around with his criminal pals in a stolen car and his wife wants to whine about it? No reason to be split-up. Get your ass the hell out of this country and join the dirtbag. Live happily ever after...someplace else.
