I spoke with a man running for sheriff in our town several days ago. He told me that 32% of the people in our county jail are illegal immigrants, and that 50% of them have no drivers licenses but were driving anyway.
That’s just the ones who are still in the jail, who have done something serious enough to keep them there. The “petty” criminals are allowed to bond out, without a check on their immigration status.
This guy is trying to work out arrangements to have the feds teach *all* the small towns in our area how to do the immigration checks at one time. Otherwise, there is a year and a half backup to get started on the classes. And they aren’t allowed to check anyone’s status until they have the training.
Joe Arpio is being sued for his actions despite the fact his people have had the Fed training.
