Panel to study Irving prisoner screening
Panel to study Irving prisoner screening
IRVING -- City officials and opponents of the Irving Jail's stepped-up screening of prisoners have agreed to have a committee look at the program, which has led to the deportation of about 300 illegal immigrants a month. City officials met Tuesday afternoon with Hispanic leaders who had accused the city of racial profiling, but they didn't come to a clear agreement on what the committee will do. City officials say no racial profiling is happening. Mayor Herbert Gears said that the committee was only "loosely agreed upon" and that he hopes it will look for ways to educate people about laws they may be unfamiliar with. Gears said many of those who have been deported were arrested on suspicion of driving without a license. Pro-immigrant activist Carlos Quintanilla said he wants the committee to consider a moratorium on Irving's Criminal Alien Program. Quintanilla is organizing a demonstration against the program to be held at 7 tonight at Irving City Hall.

tell me what is wrong with racial profiling especiallyh when, in most areas, you can't help it. If 75% of the illegals are hispanics, how can you help defend that you are not racialy profiling. The pro amnesty peole realize that it seems that way but come on! I am so sick of being politically correct. When are we going to stop fooling ourselves. We need to rid this country of illegal aliens and if it means that we appear to be racial profiling than so what. They have no rights here any way, becasue of being illegal, so what is the problem?
