    Texas Prisons Check Inmates’ Immigration Status

    Texas Prisons Check Inmates’ Immigration Status


    2 comments

    HOUSTON (May 19, 2009)—The Texas prison system is the first in the country to start checking inmates’ immigration histories by running fingerprints through a new federal program.

    As of Tuesday, all prisoners booked into the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's intake site in Huntsville will have their fingerprints checked with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's biometric system for any immigration record.


    Any matches with the biometric system are reviewed and appropriate action is taken after a prisoner completes his sentence.

    Top priority is being given to illegal immigrants who have prior convictions of major drug offenses, murder, rape, robbery and kidnapping.

    Eventually, all 24 Texas prison system intake sites across the state will have the capability.

    I thought we were doing that here in Orange County,CA. Perhaps I'm wrong.

    All prisons should do that. If they did that in Miami Dade County then it would make a big difference in the number of both crimes and illegals would drop drastically.

    All PRISONS do the old system of asking every inmate where they were born. The NEW system checks their finger prints against the new federal database. And now they are going for all city and county JAILS as well.

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    Immigration check at jails supported

    Bush program to be expanded by White House

    By Spencer S. Hsu

    THE WASHINGTON POST
    2:00 a.m. May 19, 2009

    WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is expanding a program initiated by President George W. Bush aimed at checking the immigration status of virtually every person booked into local jails. In four years, the measure could result in a tenfold increase in deportation proceedings against illegal immigrants who have been convicted of crimes, according to current and former U.S. officials . . .

    They are. But this is a NEW PROGRAM.

    The old program was to ASK each inmate where they were born.
    The new system runs their finger prints through the new federal system.
