Illegal entrants being given special treatment?

Juan Casarubia-Rendon, an illegal entrant, was stopped for DWI with a blood alcohol level of .32%, no license, no insurance, released on an appearance ticket and driven home by deputies

Some farmers won't admit it publicly, but things are changing. Years ago, Mexican migrant workers travelled the planting and harvest seasons across the country without much notice. Area farmers could rely on many of the same migrant workers returning to Wayne County and to the same farms year after year. There was no denying, the Mexican workers were hard working and filling a job sector locals shunned away from.

Of all the migrant trade, Mexicans were the most reliable, most consistent and the group with the fewest problems for local authorities. Over the past several years, local police agencies have seen a change among the transient groups. Stabbings, prostitution, drugs, check schemes and especially crimes involving driving are notably on the rise. It was estimated by one law enforcement administrator that as many as half of migrants may be operating vehicles illegally.

Although the majority of Mexican migrants still adhere to the old standards of hard work and the policy of sending weekly monies back to their families across the border, Mexican workers are falling into the same pattern followed by earlier migrant workers including Puerto Rican, Jamaican and poor Afro-Americans, once the staple of the migrant circuit.

Another change in the migrant population over the years is the rise in illegal migrant workers. The U.S. Border Patrol definitely stepped up arrests after 911, conducting searches at area farms for illegal aliens and parking lots of area supermarkets and shopping centers. The U.S. Border Patrol has reportedly been very active in the Sodus area for the past several months, according to Sodus Police Chief Sharon Purdy, stating they were responding to citizen complaints.

Some County farmers and migrant social organizations have howled about some of the enforcement that has scared some migrants from returning to the area, accusing police agencies of targeting Hispanics.

Sodus Town Supervisor, Steve LeRoy, said he has been approached several times by members of migrant social groups, complaining about police agencies and border patrol agents “hasslingâ€

This area spoken of is Wayne county in upstate NY. Sodus is where many illegals live but they mainly work in the town of Williamson. It has been going on for at least a decade now.

Only within the last two years have residents been calling the border patrol. Only recently are they figuring out that some of these illegals immigrants could be dangerous criminals. That is only due to arrests too.

There is The Catholic Church of the Epiphany of Sodus that is clamoring for the right for illegal immigrants to go to church and to be here as if they actually have one. They hire watchers to warn illegals of the border patrols. The border patrol has been notified of their actions.

On Oct 12 2008 the The Rochester Alliance for Immigrant Rights is planing to hold a rally at the Epiphany, 105 W. Main St.; Sodus as part of a National day Against Raids and Oppression. For more Info to help their cause call 1-585-454-7932 or e-mail nghertner@verizon.net.

Too bad the church can't be fined for aiding and abetting. Oppression? Give me a break their here illegally and committing crimes. Maybe if they run off with the churches money they will sing a different tune.

The sorry fact is that the town of Williamson will protect it's illegal immigrants since the farmers run the town court. Also they tend to stick together to protect their illegal labor force.

The outcry is from the people who are being stuck with the bills of schooling illegal immigrant children and paying for their welfare and medical care and are only now noticing the crime. Taxes are amongst the highest in upstate NY in this area. Of course the farmers who own most of the land pay lower taxes because of federal aid and laws. Yes the border patrol does come by and on occasion they do arrests. But they don't go in the orchards where all the illegals immigrants are plain to see and in the multitudes. I have yet to see a farmer raid but then again one of the farmers is the justice of the town. The only people arrested so far have been walking along a street etc Not exactly proficient.

Hopefully Wayne county Sheriff Ricard Pisciotti will start enforcing the laws and tell his the rest of the police department to report any illegal immigrants to the Border Patrol; INS; DHS.

WoW! the churches hire them? UNBELIEVAble!

I dont know what else to say!

The Sheriff has also questioned the willingness of Sodus Court judges to come out when called for arraignments, saying that too was a possible reason why deputies are reluctant to arraign in Sodus

I see...now it's the judges fault for releasing this guy with only a notice to appear because the judge does not want to show up for arraignments in Sodus. Everyone wants to pass the buck when these stories come to light!

How come that excuse sound all too familiar. It's the same rational used by those police agencies across this country to defend their actions of not notifying ICE because they claim ICE will not show up!

If ICE and or judges are not doing their jobs across this country, then they need to be removed from those jobs, and replaced with those who are willing to do what they are being paid to do!
