As you will see from a recent story on FR, this criminal check does not take into consideration those void of CITIZENSHIP - Illegals.
Some Long Island , Suffolk County, NY Zips when searched may not show many offenders on record; but the above linked story in Newsday run a few days ago show that it was not because these idyllic towns were free of such predators.
Cut from the Newsday report: March 30, 2005 - "The Suffolk County raids were the third time federal agents and local officers joined forces in Nassau to arrest immigrants who should have begun deportation proceedings after their prison sentences but somehow fell through the cracks.
Laura Ahearn, of Parents for Megan's Law, praised the operation but wondered why it took so long for officials to amend the system's flaws.
"Twenty-five were rounded up in Tuesday's sweep and taken to a federal detention facility. A similar sweep early this month (March) in Suffolk netted 27 sex offenders who officials said were here illegally. All are being held for deportation hearings."
Nadia Marin Molina, executive director of the Workplace Project in Hempstead, said the highly publicized sweep signals a trend in which the federal government deals with immigration problems through enforcement, rather than policy change.
"The only connection we see is immigrants and crime, gang members and immigrants," she said. "If people are eligible for deportation for serious crimes they should have been deported anyway."
Federal and local officers have so far caught 5,300 sexual predators since Operation Predator, a nationwide initiative to arrest and deport sex offenders who also are illegal immigrants, was launched in July 2003.
