I'm not certain that I have all of them on the list.

These number don't ring true. They found that 0.016% of those fingerprinted are illegal aliens. However, by taking the figure of 13,000,000 for the number of illegal aliens in the USA and 310,000,000 for the USA population we have .042% of the population as illegal aliens. It seems that some 2/3rds or so of the illegal aliens weren't identified.

They are only figer printing illegal aliens who go to jail for something, not all illegal aliens.

Secure Communities program more efficient, but new immigration-check program is not putting more people behind bars
By Jennifer Squires - Santa Cruz Sentinel

Updated: 08/20/2010 03:40:33 PM PDT


SANTA CRUZ - A federal immigration-check program that launched at the Santa Cruz County Jail earlier on Aug. 10 has caught a few arrestees with immigration holds who, in the past, would have slipped through the cracks, officials said.

"Yes, we've been identifying more people with ICE holds," said Chief Deputy Jeff Marsh of the Sheriff's Office, who oversees jail operations.

One booking officer told Marsh that he personally has come across four inmates with outstanding immigration issues that wouldn't have been flagged without the Secure Communities program.

However, the debut of Secure Communities has not resulted in a large immediate spike in identifying people in the country illegally, according to Marsh.

A week ago, 26 County Jail inmates had ICE holds, which Marsh said was "pretty typical." The number of inmates held for immigration issues stayed fairly consistent through the weekend then dipped to 23 mid-week, according to jail records.

Some had been arrested for minor crimes, like public intoxication, while others were jailed on serious charges such as drug sales or gang violence, Marsh said.

Official figures for Secure Communities identifications in Santa Cruz County will not be available until early September, according to a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman.

Secure Communities is an automated program that runs fingerprints taken at jails against FBI criminal history records and Department of Homeland Security immigration records. The system determines who is in the country illegally and whether they've been arrested previously.

Since 2007, 467 jurisdictions in 26 states have joined. ICE has said it plans to have it in every jail in the country by 2013. Secure Communities is being phased into areas the government determines as having the greatest need for it based on population estimates of illegal immigrants and crime statistics.

The program launched at the Monterey County Jail on April 5 and, during the first two months of the data-sharing program, jail officials experienced a 4.2 percent increase in inmates identified with ICE holds, according to Monterey County sheriff's Capt. Pat Hunton. "Pre-ICE" - before Secure Communities was introduced - about 14.5 percent of Monterey County inmates had ICE holds. Statistics from June showed the increase, Hunton said.

The majority of Monterey County inmates with immigration issues are Latino, though other nationalities have popped up, according to Hunton.

At Santa Cruz County Jail on Water Street, the new program is more efficient than past efforts, Marsh said. Someone's immigration status is available in a matter of hours, instead of days.

However, immigration advocates have said the new program casts too wide a net and subjects people committing minor violations, like having a taillight out and not having identification, to possible deportation. They also said Secure Communities could erode trust in law enforcement within immigrant communities.


ICE HOLDS

Several inmates at County Jail and those serving sentences at the Rountree jail facility in South County also are being held on immigration charges.
