Certainly makes sense to me. ICE agents has begun arresting foreign citizens with expired U.S. visas as they travel through airports, including spouses of Americans, a tactic that opens up a vast new pool of people for deportation.
Immigration agents in plain clothes have whisked away targets at check-in counters and arrival gates, with enforcement actions in at least 15 airports in recent weeks. Some of the arrests have occurred quietly, while others have happened as angry fellow passengers filmed the encounters.
The recent arrests appear to be an expansion of an arrangement between the Transportation Security Administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Times reported in December that ICE officers were arresting people with deportation orders at airports with the help of information provided by airlines to the TSA.
Why shouldn't Federal Agencies - and local law enforcement also - cooperate with ICE? Their only job - the only thing they do - is to enforce our nation's laws. That's it...

They're still holding that price. Grab a couple. I did.
Arrests and deportations are NOT the same thing. We need to see a running "DEPORTATION COUNTER" put up in Times Square or somewhere equally public so we can all see if ANYTHING is really being done.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for deporting criminals. I'm not for deporting spouses, fathers and mothers of American citizens.
ReplyDeleteNot only this is by definition and any Family policy but all those American kids will grow up ang vote against the people that took their mom or dad away.
Catch the criminals and deport them all. That is what I voted for
Homeland Security was formed after 911 so that agencies would work together and cooperate with each other. Why have HHS if they're not?
ReplyDeleteMy only response is, "wait, weren't they already doing this?" Try being in any foreign country with an expired visa and see how that goes.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me. Catch 'em as they come back in with expired visas, or deportation orders. Pretty much every other country in the world does this; no visa, no entry. Oversights do happen - visa expires while you're here, etc - but that's on you. And when the visa expired years ago, well, stupid and illegal should be painful.
