Hundreds of Illegal Aliens Fill Prison Beds in Utah
Jun 21, 2006 by Julie Rose
Each year 6 million Utah taxpayer dollars are spent housing undocumented workers at the state prison. Utah Department of Corrections Deputy Director Christine Mitchell says five percent of the prison population is illegal and most come from Mexico.
Most of the time, Mitchell says the illegal alien inmates are handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement after they've finished their prison time. She says the Utah Court system tends to imprison the most serious offenders rather than hand them over for deportation.
"The child sex offenders, murderers, rapists, robbers," says Mitchell. "The first degree offenders, the long-sentence offenses, are the ones we see illegal aliens in prison for."
Mitchell says the federal government has recently acknowledged the financial impact to states of keeping illegal aliens in state correctional systems. However, federal reimbursement for Utah's alien prison population has now declined from over two million dollars in the year 2000 to just $360,000 in 2006.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

Incompetent President
wow.... from 2 million dollars to 360 thousand dollars. That is what I call acknowledgement of the prison crowding problems. I wonder if this is a ploy by the administration to force prisons to release illegal aliens for a cheap and compliant way of getting rid of many Americans as possible to free up resources for Bush's illegal brothers and sisters? They already have our social security numbers so what is next?
