Thread: Illegal Immigrant Bond Fund Kicks Off Fundraising Campaign

SILVER SPRING, Md. — Illegal immigrants arrested in workplace raids can now access a fund to help them post bond.

The National Immigrant Bond Fund launched its national debut and fundraising campaign on Monday. Founder Bob Hildreth said Monday the goal is to raise $500,000.

Through the fund, illegal immigrants arrested in raids who do not have any outstanding criminal violations can apply for financial assistance. Churches, legal organizations or community groups help facilitate their requests. The fund provides half the bail money and immigrants must pony up the rest.

The fund has already been tapped into following a few raids, including one in Annapolis on June 30.

The fund was formalized three months ago. Hildreth says it's helped bail out about 100 people so far, and all of those cases are pending.

Isn't this aiding and abetting illegals, which the last time I looked was illegal?

I think you're right It should be aiding and abetting!!!

Anyway that you look at it It's wrong and I've never seen any orginization like this to help out American citizens!!!!

It isn't right but hopefully this will be one thing that American Taxpayers won't have to fund.

I think the number of Americans willing to throw their money away on this is limited, they will be out of money in a short time.
