MANCHESTER, CT -- The U.S. Justice Department released a memorandum by the Office of the Assistant General Attorney after a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the ACLU. The memo supports the enforcement of immigration laws by local officials. The memorandum concluded: It is ordinarily unreasonable to assume that Congress intended to deprive the federal government of whatever assistance States may provide in identifying and detailing those who have violated federal law, federal statutes should be presumed not to preempt this arrest authority.?
The Connecticut Citizens for Immigraton Control contends that Title 8, Section 1324, states that officers appointed by the Attorney General shall make arrests for violation of the immigration law and and all other officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws.?Far stronger than the above memo, the immigration law specifically authorizes local and state enforcement.

CTCIC has the position that it is not only the right, but also the duty of state and local officials to arrest those in violation of Federal Immigration laws. CTCIC encourages local police, mayors, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal and Governor Jody Rell to do just that.

Federal Immigration laws not only apply to entering and residing in the country, but they apply to those that employ illegal aliens, if a few employers find themselves facing five years of imprisonment, massive fines and the confiscation of their vehicles, they will quickly find legal workers,?said Paul Streitz, director of CTCIC.

it is more important to concentrate on the employers than on the illegal aliens, Said Streitz. if you dry up the money, the illegals will not be there. They are here to make money and send as much home as possible. Money is the issue.?/p>

The Justice Department memo was apparently hidden by the Bush Administration because it did not support its open borders policy of massive migration into the United States,?said Streitz. "Ironically, the ACLU uncovered something that will aid in ending the massive immigration into the country,?he added.
