CARROLLTON — Through the efforts of U.S. Congressman Kenny Marchant, the City of Carrollton and the City of Farmers Branch are the first Texas cities outside of Harris County (Houston area) to receive 287(g) approval from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Specifically, 287(g) is a provision in Federal Law that allows state and local law enforcement and corrections officers the ability to receive training under the supervision of ICE in the area of immigration law and how it’s going to work.

The City of Carrollton applied for participation in the program in 2007 after the mayor and city council authorized the application and two additional jailers to assist in the additional workload in the jail.

How the 287(g) works is that when a police officer comes across a person who has committed a criminal violation, or is believed to have committed a crime, and is believed to be in the country illegally, the officer has the authority to interview and place a retainer on the subject for possible deportation.

Two additional Carrollton jailers will receive four weeks of training under the supervision of ICE to conduct immigration issue activities.

“When illegal immigrants are identified following their arrest for a criminal offense, this partnership will provide enhanced training, enforcement support and access to federal databases that will allow our trained jailers to conduct immigration enforcement activities,” Mayor Becky Miller said. “I am excited that the City has been approved and I personally thank Congressman Marchant for his diligence in monitoring our application.”

The city of Farmers Branch is joining a growing list of towns and even states, that can no longer afford to support the 12 to 30 million illegal aliens invading our nation. Small communities are limited to what they can do, to relieve the taxpayers financia burden.

STATE ENFORCEMENT IS WORKING BETTER THAN EXPECTED!! OH! OKLAHOMA!

As reported in the London, British media and other national papers around the world. A very high profile article appears in the London Telegraph, UK media. It’s so embarrassing that the US press is so liberally biased in it’s reporting, that they never offer an open book to reader. Most of the time you getter better researched and unsuppressed reporting from foreign sources.

‘Unemployment rates are have dramatically risen across the United States, except in Oklahoma. That state is experiencing the most dramatic reduction in unemployment since 2007, an improvement many in Oklahoma attribute to the passage last year by the state legislature of a strong predator employment sanctions law.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday reported unemployment in Oklahoma had fallen to 3.1 percent in March, down from 4 percent in March last year, while unemployment nationwide was 5.1 percent, up from 4.4 percent in March last year.

“Oklahoma is no longer ‘OK’ for illegal aliens,” said State Rep. Randy Terrill, who sponsored House Bill 1804 which passed by overwhelming majorities last year in both the House (84-14) and Senate (41-6) of the Oklahoma Legislature.

“The bottom line is illegal aliens will not come here if there are no jobs waiting for them,” Terrill said. “They will not stay here if there is no government handouts, and they certainly won’t stay here if they know that if they ever encounter our state and local law enforcement officers, they will be physically detained until (ICE) arrives.

States like California need to take notice that they had a $9 billion budget meltdown, according to California Assemblywoman Mimi Walters, a Republican from Oceanside

Now you can read the disturbing details in the new 70-page document called “The Economic and Fiscal Impact of Immigration” by Edwin S. Rubenstein (eagleforum.org/sources). A Manhattan Institute adjunct academic with a mile-long scholarly resume, he has been doing financial analysis ever since he directed the studies of government waste for the Grace Commission of 1984.

Keep calling your Congressmen today, and demand they co-author The Federal SAVE ACT (H.R. 4088). Toll free at 1-877-851-6437 and 1-866-220-0044 & 1-202-224-3121 AND REGISTER YOUR OUTRAGE.

Also petition to build the border fence as originally planned at grassfire.

Britannicus, does your novel come in paperback form? For some reason, I seem to want to fall asleep when I read it on a computer screen.

Spelling/grammatical errors riddled throughout make me sincerely hope nobody's putting up money for this.

Britannicus's <a href="http://www.pegasusnews.com/news/2008/mar/19/farmers-branch-wont-get-jail-officer-illegal-immig/#c23349">only other comment</a> rambles on about the SAVE Act as well. Probably just a local chump with an agenda.
