Hey, Grammie, think this would have saved Akiko's life last year? Nah, probably not, that turkey came back in despite a Do Not Re-Enter order...

A system that rushes criminal illegal entrants back to Mexico helped push the number of deportations from Eloy to record numbers last month, immigration officials said Wednesday.
"Stipulated removal" allows an illegal entrant convicted of a crime to be deported within days instead of weeks and that's at least partly credited for the deportation in January of 766 entrants who committed felonies, said Russell Ahr, spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The system gives convicts the opportunity to not contest their deportation if they were going to be deported anyway, he said.
Under U.S. felony-deportation rules, illegal entrants and green card holders who commit felonies are deported to their native country.
A stipulated removal can be accomplished in 24 to 48 hours, Ahr said, and deportation officers are asking all eligible inmates if they want to enter that system, he said.
Up to 40 people a day are being removed using the system, compared with 10 to 15 when the system began last year, he said.
The fast system increases the turnover rate at the Eloy Federal Alien Detention Facility, he said. The center, which houses 1,500 foreign criminals, needs all the space it can get, said Phillip Crawford, field office director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement's detention and removal operations in Arizona.
But a judge may not know everything about a case when it's fast-tracked like that, said Holly Cooper, staff attorney with the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project. The nonprofit group helps people through the deportation proceedings or represents them in front of an immigration judge.
While Mexican nationals are given the right to tell a deportation officer they don't want to see a judge, they also may be giving up access to knowledge that would allow them to stay in the United States, she said.
Express lane back to where-ever for illegals
Out of the 400 who enter illegally every day. Still, one small step.
Finally some good news!
I think you left out some zeros.

"While Mexican nationals are given the right to tell a deportation officer they don't want to see a judge, they also may be giving up access to knowledge that would allow them to stay in the United States, she said."
In other words, how can I keep screwing the country over if I don't get to talk to the criminals?
Finally a state that recognizes the need to do something before it ends up like California! One small step anyway...
Thanks be to GOD! Are we actually getting rid of these people? That would be amazing.
This just means the revolving door now has ball bearings.
Yup! The sound of an immigration lawyer soon to be unemployed.
you are right.....especially southern Calif is just awful, it isn't nearly as bad up north, but now many illegals are just running the border and main destinations now are the midwest......no joke.....and if the govt' doesn't control the borders, many will be yelling at them like we have in Calif for years.....but now the problems are all over the place.....
But what happens to these animals when they get back to their native cesspool? Is there anybody waiting for them beyond the hole in the fence separating our country from theirs? Probably not. It's our problem and the Mexican govt. can't be bothered...
I expect that our "catch-and-deport" program will not really keep determined illegals out of the U.S.
Therefore I wonder if we shouldn't consider a different punishment for illegals who are caught a SECOND time?
Hmmmm...
Do you think that sending chain-gangs of "two-time-loser" illegals up to Northern Alaska for a year or so to build roads before a second deportation might be an effective deterrent...
Just their trying to come up with the money to pay a coyote to bring 'em back across and they have 9:1 odds in their favor of making it.
I prefer something more along the lines of Devils Island.
Better go to hyper drive there is what 20 million of these criminals..
"Stipulated removal" hmmm....Has a nice ring to it.
Still a drop in the bucket
I'd prefer to dial out to a known g-UOld slave word and send 'em through.
