Lake County Illinois Gets Onboard The 287(g) Express!
Jake Jacobson

I was invited to attend the press conference by the Lake County Sheriff to announce their desire to pursue a 287(g) agreement with the federal government. This will allow Lake County Sheriff’s Police to act as ICE agents when dealing with illegal alien criminals.

This bus was located near the jail and was too perfect a visual descriptor of the problem to pass up…



I have video of the whole thing which I will tuck below the fold.

While deciding whether or not to pursue this agreement one of the things the Sheriff did was an audit of his jail to see just how many illegal aliens they were holding and what crimes they’d committed.

Here is the list…

DUI — 25

Aggravated DUI — 24

Sex offenses — 22

Drug offenses — 18

Murder — 7

Burglary — 7

Gun offenses — 4

Theft — 3

Home invasion — 3

Robbery — 2

Other offenses — 7

Now these numbers may not seem terribly high but its important to remember that Lake County is a semi-rural area with pretty low crime rates. In fact, according to the Sheriff (5:12 of video #1) without illegal aliens the murder rate wold have been cut in half. Let me repeat that, illegal aliens accounted for half of all murders in Lake County Illinois.

Now another complaint of the open borders set is that Mexicans and Hispanics are being picked on or somehow discriminated against when immigration law is actually enforced. These following numbers show just how laughable that idea really is. This is a list the origins of foreign born criminals in the Lake County Jail…

Mexico — 105
Poland — 5
Puerto Rico — 4
El Salvador –3
Canada — 2
Honduras — 2
Philippines — 1
Columbia — 1
Vietnam — 1
Pakistan — 1
Guatemala — 1
Cuba — 1
Russia — 1
Germany — 1
Barbados — 1
7 inmates were unable or unwilling to provide information about their country of origin.

Pretty shocking when you see it in black and white like this, isn’t it? Mexicans provide a magnitude more criminals than any other country. Its not discrimination when almost the entirety of foreign born criminals comes from one country, that’s called reality!

The Sheriff also noted the salutary effect on crime in Prince William County Va after implementing the 287(g) protocol…

19.3% drop in crimes against persons
43.8% drop in homicides
22.5% drop in robberies
18.2% drop in aggravated assaults
and the deportation of over a 1000 criminal aliens

He also noted that neighboring Fairfax county experienced an almost perfect inverse in their crime rate seeing their crime rates increase by almost the exact same amount!

Random notes from the press conference itself…

Press turnout was surprisingly good. There were reporters and cameras from most major news outlets in the area.

The only reporter to ask if 287(g) might be racist was from one of the local Hispanic stations, Univision I believe but am not certain.

Most of the questions seemed to center on which offenses exactly would require deportation, as if their predicate notion was that illegal aliens have a right to be here.

As we’ve said for a couple of years now, what is so exciting about the 287(g) protocol is that we’ll be able to garner hard numbers about illegal alien crime in a specific area which we can use to rebut the professional ethnic hustlers and pimps of La Raza et al. And of course as the story of Prince William County shows when an area goes 287(g) it will typically force all but the most lunatic of towns or states to follow suit when the crime rate spikes after all the illegals crowd into the new town or state.

This is a very encouraging development.
