Burning Atlanta

The arrest of illegals is up all over the country but it's still way anemic. I still see the federal efforts as a scam but it's nice to see them moving in the right direction after all the past years of doing nothing.

Keep this in mind, in this story they're primarily talking about targeting arrestees at jails and fugitives that are already on ICE's hit list. The pro-illegal whiner totally avoids that point when responding for this article.

Boot them all

The number of illegal immigrants removed from the Dallas area and Oklahoma increased dramatically in recent months, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

If the pace of the first five months of this fiscal year continues, the federal agency could see about a 40 percent increase in the number of illegal immigrants removed from north Texas and Oklahoma, Homeland Security spokesman Carl Rusnok said.

But immigration enforcement critics remain skeptical.

"First of all, there must be probable cause. If the police are stopping them because they committed an infraction, that's one thing. If they are stopping them because they believe they might be an illegal immigrant, that's racial profiling,” immigration attorney Doug Stump said. "Clearly, the vast majority of people that we are seeing are being pulled over during routine traffic stops.”
