"New York, August 26 -- A woman is surrounded by 15 US federal agents on a street corner in Los Angeles, her 8-year old son crying in fear, and she is deported; U.S. politicians denounce a triple homicide in Newark, New Jersey blaming it on the presence of illegal aliens ("indocumentados") in the country, towns across the nation start to approve local measures to expel and to criminalize immigrants (sic), the US federal government implements rules to bar the employment of those who do not have immigration papers, the construction of more detention facilities begins, expands the numbers of federal migration officers and threatens more...all of these are part of the intensification of anti-immigrant (sic) actions in the United States these days. There does not pass a day now where there is not some news of a new initiative, measurement or policy which takes on illegal aliens, more so than the federal government, by state and local authorities in the United States.

Last week the state Attorney General of New Jersey, Anne Milgram, ordered the local agencies of public safety (the police, mainly) to determine the immigration status of criminal suspects and to notify U.S. federal authorities if they suspect that some prisoner is in the country "illegally".

This action was announced after a triple homicide in Newark on August 4th, which has detonated a debate on the state and even nationwide about crime and illegal aliens ("indocumentados"). One of the main suspects of the crime, Jose Lachira Carranza, is a Peruvian illegal alien ("indocumentado"), and several politicians have criticized the fact that nobody verified his immigration status in spite of three previous arrests on US soil, and how could that delinquent remain on the streets and commit another crime?

"There is a necessity that as come about recently with this tragedy that urges us to be coordinated in our statewide efforts", said Attorney General Milgram.

The federal agency of immigration (well-known by his abbreviations in ingles, I.C.E.), gave its welcome to this "new extension of the cooperation" between the state and the federal sides.

The case nourished increasing national debate across the USA regarding the activities of American local and state agencies of public security and the activities of immigration control.

Some mayors and chiefs of local police are against the participation of local US police on immigration matters, indicating that they need the cooperation of the community, including legal and illegal immigrants, to be able to carry out their jobs. In fact, the mayors and other authorities of cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago have maintained policies that prohibit their municipal police and employees to investigate anything about the migratory status of their residents.

These are criticized by others who say that such cities have been turned cities "sanctuaries for which they break the law" and/or they insist that for there to be any coherent national policy, the local and state authorities must start to assume a role in immigration control.

Even a Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, when he was governor of Massachussets, signed an agreement with the federal authorities in which he granted state police selected the power to implement the federal immigration laws (although the new governor annulled the agreement).

In Kentucky, the general solicitor notified the local police to consult a federal data bank to verify the immigration status of people whom they arres, and accordingly report any illegal aliens ("indocumentados") to the federal authorities. The legislatures of all 50 US States also have considered measures on illegal immigration this year, according to a report of the National Conference of State Legislatures; at least 1,400 such resolutions or laws were suggested and nearly 170 of these were actually promulgated into laws in 41 States.

Although these include measures of all types, among them some designed to benefit to immigrants, the majority incorporate some type of anti-immigrant (sic) measures.

In addition, the governments of more than 100 cities and counties throughout of the United States have considered resolutions and new orders against illegal aliens. These include from proclamations of English as an "Official Language" to prohibitions on the renting of houses (to illegal aliens), or government contracts with companies who use illegal aliens, all the way to denying public services to illegals ("indocumentados"). At federal level, the actions are including more arrests, more apprehensions of illegal alien "fugitives" or more deportation orders, and more detentions. On 10 of August the government of George W. Bush announced 17 initiatives of immigration control, including the one of the most aggressive implementation of a system to force patterns to stop employing illegal alien people in the United States. The government announced that they will send letters to employers with lists of the workers whose numbers of Social Security do not correspond to their identity. After a term of 90 days the government will force the companies to stop employing any employee who has not managed to verify or correct such an error. Potentially, this could bring about millions of unemployed (it is calculated that there are approximately 12 million illegal people ("indocumentados") in the country).

Simultaneously, the government also announced plans to stop, to jail and to deport to more illegals and increasing their prisons for illegal aliens to jail more people.

There are many minors in the USA whose parents (at least one) are illegally in the country....Recently, since 2004, there have also been 60 who have died in prison custody who are illegal...the Washington Post reported. They die in the centers of imprisonment for migrants. Recent cases include the death of Rose Isela Contreras DomÃ*nguez, a Mexican banished to a holding center, Mexican Arellano Victoria, 23, an AIDS sufferer, halted in San Pedro, California, and a Brazilian Edgar Alves Araujo. All were declared as "unfortunate, sad incidents" by the US migra authorities. Simultaneously, many prisoners suffer medical conditions where they do not receive satisfactory attention, or nothing. In fact, thousands of immigrants - with papers or without papers, are detained and jailed, sometimes during months and even years, under a federal law that allows that non-citizen has been arrested to be deported if has committed a crime in the United States at any time, although has been for years and although they have already fulfilled a penal sentence."
