That's not true, if INS finds a person is illegal they go through the standard process of deportation those are the ones they know about, typically the ones letting the INS know they are here. The problem is the INS is under staffed and most illegals are unknown.

Tell the California Coalition for Immigration Reform that it's not true. The e-mail address is above.

They are told specifically not to pursue cases. Schoold burearcracies (who get Fed dollars for the student count) prohibit any attempts to identify illegals. There are entrenched interests who benefit form illegal immigration (and our tax dollars that pay for it), and policy is allowed to be affected by it.
