On Saturday, the Norfolk Police Department will conduct a seminar instructing those working in this country illegally on steps they can take when they feel they have been treated unfairly by their employers.

Norfolk Police Officer Damaso Medel will be leading the event, which will be held at the city’s Police Training Center.

Legal Aid of Eastern Virginia, various government welfare agencies, and illegal alien advocacy groups will be in attendance.

In the past year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have uncovered two separate document mills in Norfolk, which produced thousands of fake Social Security cards, as well as other forms of identification for illegal aliens.

Despite pleas from the public, Norfolk officials continue to ignore the issue of illegal immigration, even in the face of increasing crime attributed to the city’s growing illegal alien population.

Over their citizens’ objections, the Norfolk City Council refused to adopt the highly effective 287(g) program. The agreement between federal and municipal authorities allows local law enforcement to investigate a suspect’s immigration status after an arrest has been made for any offense.

Since 2006, more than 1,000 law-enforcement officers have been trained and certified by the federal program. Currently, 77 local police departments participate in 287(g). Both Virginia and North Carolina lead the country in the number of local departments participating.
