Georgia Begins Deportation “Surge” of Prisoners

US immigration officials are in the middle of a 26-day immigration screening “surge” of prisoners incarcerated in Gwinnett County, Georgia, deporting those who are found to be in America illegally.

The pilot program, started on Jan. 12, is part of an ICE initiative underway in three Georgia counties. Local jailers are being trained on how to file paperwork to send illegal alien criminals home. Georgia already monitors prisoners who are foreign born but does not track illegals in their system.

The ACLU-backed Georgia Detention Watch has called for an “immediate cessation” of the initiative, saying the program is “prone to serious human rights violations such as insufficient legal representation and racial profiling.”

Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway denied the prison-rights activist group’s claims, noting the program targets only individuals who have been arrested for a crime.

An ICE program called the Criminal Alien Program (CAP) was expanded this year and is responsible for repatriating more than 345,000 illegal aliens in 2008, compared to 288,000 in 2007.

    Bravo to the officials in Georgia. With each deportation GA becomes a little bit of a better place to live. All states should do this. The sad part is that this is the exception rather than the rule. Why should we tolorate illegals staying here, especially when they are criminals? Good for Georgia.

    Big thumbs up to Georgia. States will have to push this issue thereby forcing the fedral govt. to do their job. If we don't, we might as do away with our government and let special interests and chamber of commerces run the country.

    The question is not IF there will be an interdiction of Obama’s Presidency by the Supreme Court, the questions are WHEN and HOW that interdiction will transpire — that is, if the USA is to continue as the Constitutional Republic that now exists.

    You Americans could not stand the fact that in South Africa we had darker skinned people doing all the shitty jobs that regular South Africans did not want to do( because there were millions of them that NEEDED jobs leagally), but you fools do the same damb thing with the mexicans and others from south of the border. You guys even import your cheap labour.

    What you people did to my country makes me sick, but I live here now, and I just hope and pray that the US does not end up the same as South Africa has. You guys will never fucking understand what you and your government did to South Africa.

    Yes I understand that it was not all Americans, but G-d dammit, the rest of you all beleived the lies, with your feelings of guilt that has nothing to do with you. You have all been suckered into feeling guilty for what happened to blacks decades ago, and you are played everyday every wich way possible.

    But anyway, I do applaud the Georgia officials and encourage them to keep it up. Do it right and set an example to the rest of the country. We don't need these bums here, you hard working Americans can do the jobs that the Ileagals currently have locked up. Make it so that Georgia will replace the illeagls with the large number of Americans that have just lost their jobs accross the country.

    Notes from Ga on the effectivness of 287 g – ENFOREMENT WORKS!

    Since Hall jailers became certified as ICE agents in April, the number of illegal immigrants booked into the Hall County Detention Center has been cut in half, according to Hall County Sheriff Steve Cronic…Once word spread through the community about the ICE program, illegal immigrants moved out of Hall County or grew more cautious about breaking the law, Cronic said.

    Before joining the program, about 63 percent of the immigrants booked into the Hall County Detention Center were in the country illegally, he said.

    Sheriff's departments in three other counties in Georgia now participate in the program – Hall, Cobb and Whitfield – and Gwinnett County, which shares a border with Barrow, seems well on its way to becoming the fourth

    The agents "will screen all inmates booked into the (jail) regardless of their claim to citizenship in order to identify and remove criminal aliens," Conway said in a news release.

    "This hopefully will bring us one step closer in getting the green light on that program and will give ICE an idea of the approximate numbers (of prisoners) they would be receiving from our jail," Conway said.

    Way to go, Georgia! Get those ILLEGAL ALIENS out of this Country. It’s nothing but AMAZING all the problems with these ILLEGAL ALIENS.

    “The ACLU-backed Georgia Detention Watch has called for an “immediate cessation” of the initiative, saying the program is “prone to serious human rights violations such as insufficient legal representation and racial profiling.” ”

    That statement alone just goes to show how corrupt the ACLU is. They indeed are the worst organization on this planet! The people they should be protecting is the AMERICANS. But no, let’s worry about the ILLEGAL ALIENS.

    I have absolutely no use for the ACLU! I believe they should be broke up. They are WORTHLESS!

    Joe you are so right!!!

    California the once Golden State is now a horror show.
    And it’s bankrupt on top of that!

    Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway has had to fight tooth and nail to get this far with the fight against illegals who commit crimes. You’d be surprised but it’s not ONLY the ACLU who has stood rock-solid in his path and tried to put up a brick wall. He knows he’s in a position to do the right thing and is doing it DESPITE opposition.

  9. AK in Gwinnett says

    Here in Georgia, we have D.A. King to thanks for 287 g being used in the state and most of the organizing to fight illegal immigration. He calls it “organized crime” – so true, so true! THANK YOU D.A.!

  10. Iris Lynch says

    Len,
    The American press (Dems) does not allow the truth of South Africa to emerge. They make sure that the perpetrators get to leave the country once it has been raped, but white survivors don’t get to come here. YOU were lucky!

    Please call your Senators and demand Everify for all employers. This will force them out!!

    Americans enforcing immigration law in Georgia? What next, Mayor Bloomberg deciding that maybe the golf courses in New York could be maintained by Americans afterall, and won't go brown if illegal aliens are deported. I hope in didn't strain the humanity of Georgian beurocrats too muchk having to deport felons and others away from the honest taxpaying citizens. They'll get over it, or be fired sooner or later. One or the other.

    I live in Gwinnett County and have had to watch the crime skyrocket in the past decade as illegal immigration has skyrocketed. The area was becoming a hub for drug activity, prostitution, and other crimes. All while neighborhoods were being destroyed when multiple families moved into a single home and then trashed the yards forcing others away. Gwinnett County was once one of the nicest counties in the state but is fast becoming one of the worst.

    Gwinnett is open to legal immigration and has many legal people that follow the law and are trying to live good lives. Illegal immigration has only hurt Gwinnett and must be stopped before the entire county is left in ruins.

    If you saw your home being destroyed you would change your tune too. It's easy for outsiders to judge until they see their property values decrease and have to worry about the safety of their family.

    What i don’t understand is when did everyone become so damn racist. The only thiing the hispanics do is try to make their lives better for them and their families. If you haven’t noticed their the ones that do the jobs that no one wants to do or can handle. hispanics are beng treated like trash and all you people have to say is that their taking away your jobs. If you people were such good worker they wouldn’t have to give your jobs to people who do them better. You people bitch to much. No matter how much you have your never happy cause you always what more.
    I think you guys are just being stupid. Everyone have the right to be treated the same. No one is better then anyone. No matter who they are or what color or where their from. Hispanics work hard for what they have and you people are just plain stupid for hating. I have hispanic and white and black friends. And I’m not up for the what Ga laws are doing. Insted of getting along and trying to make the US a better place to live you people are just making it worst. Just live with it. I hope Obama does something Bush could’t do and help everyone even hispanics. WHY? Because we are all people and are here for one reason. To make a better life for ourselves and some to give their kids something they never had. No one No one sould treat anyone different. We are all the saome no one better. So for the racist go screw yourself.
