Going after businesses is still the best overall approach. You'll get a combination of your run of the mill illegals, visa overstayers, outright criminals, and fugitives that way. You need to show the average, ordinary illegals that the govt is serious about their illegal presence in the country, in order to get multitudes of them to ultimately self-deport. Just going after criminals won't make the masses of illegals feel the need to self-deport.

Ostrich

I agree, going after the business' who illegally employ them would go a long ways to eradicating the problem. Case Closed!
No Mon, no fun, as they say.

111,000 ‘criminal aliens’ and 500,000 allowed to enter and remain, you know the ones Janet denies are criminal, the ones she thinks she has the authority to change our laws for.

111,000? and thats the IA's that got caught. ill wager that # is 10% of the real amount of alien criminals that come to the USA EACH YEAR! americans are literally up to our ears in these 3rd world murderers, drug dealers, and rapists.

New Technology Will Help Local Police Identify Illegal Aliens

Thursday, November 12, 2009, 4:12 PM EST - posted on NumbersUSA

The Department of Homeland Security announced today that all local law enforcement officials will soon be able to access a new technology that allows them to compare the fingerprints of prisoners with FBI and DHS databases. It will help local police identify criminal illegal aliens.

The technology is part of the Secure Communities program and should be available to all local police by 2013. The one-year old program has helped identify 111,000 illegal aliens in custody and 11,000 who have committed serious offenses.

About 1,900 illegal aliens have been deported as a result of the program. The rest are serving sentences, awaiting deportation or still going through the sentencing process. Ninety-five police agencies across the nation currently participate in the program, and Washington D.C. will become a member in two weeks.

"Secure Communities" - One Year Later

The first day Secure Communities was activated in Starr County, Texas, local law enforcement arrested a man on assault charges. Because his fingerprints were submitted through Secure Communities technology, ICE was quickly able to determine that he was previously convicted of murder, was removed from the United States, and had re-entered the country illegally. In his multiple criminal exploits, DHS had encountered the man on five separate occasions – valuable information for local and federal officials alike.

Secure Communities was designed to facilitate access to timely and accurate information about state and local arrests to better identify criminal aliens and to prioritize those who are the most dangerous for removal from the United States. As Starr County and 94 other jurisdictions across the country have learned first hand, it does its job.
Today, during a press conference at ICE Headquarters in Washington, D.C., Secretary Napolitano noted that “Secure Communities provides our local partners with an effective tool to identify and remove dangerous criminal aliens who pose a threat to public safety.â€
