Top Official Says Feds May Not Process Illegals Referred From Arizona

A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comment during a meeting on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports.

"I don't think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution," Morton told the newspaper.

The best way to reduce illegal immigration is through a comprehensive federal approach, he said, and not a patchwork of state laws.

The law, which criminalizes being in the state illegally and requires authorities to check suspects for immigration status, is not "good government," Morton said.

Gotta say I agree with you 100% and so does about 70% of the rest of the US. Unfortunately our "elected" politicians keep pandering to the illegal vocal crowd!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is it written that state police can't escort illegals to the border and tell them to go home or go to jail? Even better, drive them to the border and give them a choice...Mexico or cattle prod.

Illegal immigrant's 145G 'deport gift'

An illegal immigrant with a long rap sheet got a $145,000 parting gift from New York City taxpayers before he was deported, after city lawyers decided his civil rights had been violated when he was held too long on Rikers Island.

Federal rules allow local law enforcement to detain suspected illegal immigrants for 48 hours after their criminal cases are resolved, to give Immigration and Customs Enforcement a chance to pick them up and move them to federal facilities.

Former Brooklyn resident Cecil Harvey, 55 -- backed by an immigration-rights advocacy group -- argued that his rights were violated when he spent more than a month in a Rikers holding pen before being transferred to ICE.

Harvey was shipped to his native Barbados in October 2007; the city settled his civil suit late last year.

The landmark settlement has prompted the Correction Department to dump scores of illegal immigrants on the streets, since federal officials often fail to pick them up within the required two-day window.

Federal immigration agents have office space on Rikers Island, and the city allows them to interview roughly 4,000 inmates each year. They put a hold, or "detainer," on 3,200 of those inmates who they discover are illegals.

But ICE often fails to transfer those detainees within the required 48 hours of their criminal cases being resolved, multiple jail sources said.

"We just release them now," one high-ranking jail supervisor said. "It's ICE's problem to go find these guys."

Harvey, a 55-year-old father of three, with three prior arrests, spent 35 days on Rikers, when he should have been moved to ICE.

That's like saying, "Hi, I'm from ICE and my job is to deport illegals, but I've decided I'm not going to do that. I'll change the name to NICE. Now, doesn't that sound a little more friendly to our wonderful guest workers from Mexico?:uhoh:

That's exactly what happens here.

As much as I want to see thousands of illegals "deported"
it really is a moot point until the borders are sealed.

You can deport all day long and they can just walk back in
asap. Fence, true border control and prosecution for illegally entering our country are the only hope of saving
America....NORTH America....not Northern Mexico.

[PostmodernProphet]

Arizona does have one advantage......they can simply escort the illegals to the state border and expel them.......
