Irving gets it right on illegal immigration

This one stuns me. These people have the gall to protest against the police for enforcing the law, especially in light of our recent explosion of illegal immigration.

Community Leaders Protest Program to Deport Criminal Aliens

Community leaders are meeting with Irving police Monday over a controversial program to deport criminal illegal immigrants.

Members of the Hispanic organization “Accion America,” along with other community and business leaders, have planned a meeting with the police chief of Irving.

The group plans to demand that the city suspend the criminal alien program because they claim immigrants in Irving are being unfairly targeted.

The group says Irving police officers have been confronting people at apartment complexes who appear to be immigrants and asking them about their legal status.

However, Irving police say they are only targeting complexes that have a high crime rate.

The criminal alien program was unanimously approve by the Irving City Council earlier this year. The program is intended to control illegal immigration problems in that city by deporting criminals.

The number one offense that illegal immigrants are being arrested for is driving with a suspended license, according to Irving Mayor Herbert Gears.

The number of those who have been deported so far this year is about 1,000 more than were deported in all of 2006.

Mayor Gears said he believes Irving leads the nation in the number of deportations.

Also at issue is the effect this crackdown is having on families.

While consulate officials say this is unacceptable, Mayor Gears says he stands by the program.

Irving is deporting CRIMINAL aliens. What’s wrong with that? I think we should be deporting every single illegal alien we find, whether or not they’ve broken additional laws. But since we won’t be doing that due to the overwhelming number we’ve allowed to cross our borders, getting rid of the criminals is a good place to start.

If it wasn’t enough that we have “community leaders” seeking amnesty for illegals, the Mexican Consulate is now advising Mexicans against going to Irving.

Aside from the fact that it’s none of their business how America enforces its laws, I happen to agree with their basic assertion. But not only should illegals Irving, I think Mexican nationals need to either emigrate legally or avoid the USA altogether.

Since the federal government can’t seem to get off their collective asses and guard the borders of this country, I’m glad to see another local Dallas community getting tough on illegals. It’s about time we do something to stop this invasion.
