Many that are under 100,000 as well. I was thinking the same thing. I keep hoping people-especially our politicians and authorities will wake up. We are rapidly importing the cartel war into this country and many just want to stick their fingers in there ears and hum when anyone brings it up.
The border issues that many thought they didn’t need to worry about are now everyone’s issues. Many just don’t see it yet.
The authorities are awake Tammy, believe me. But they are hamstrung by accusations of racism.
ICE could deputize every officer in the US today with this:
Immigration and Nationality Act Section 287(g)
but they don’t because of political pressure that it encourages racial profiling.
I have been present when van and truckloads of illegals have been stopped and ICE refused to come out to take them into custody.
I have also seen ICE raid apartment complexes for illegals who returned five days later.
It is common practice for those illegals who have been arrested for first time drug trafficking to volunteer to self deport in an effort to avoid prosecution. They just return under another assumed name and social security number.
It is going to take a concerted effort from citizen, legislator and authority alike to combat this. But as long as La Raza, MALDEF, and LuLAC hold political sway, it’s not going to happen.
Not by conventional means at any rate.
