ALIPAC's William Gheen Quoted in Dick Morris's New Book!
Friends,
One of the founders of ALIPAC, Senator Fern Shubert, called me this afternoon. We are both speaking at the event in Asheville this weekend.
The news she had to share is that I'm quoted on page 36 of Dick Morris's new book "Outrage"
Here it is..
Just thought you might find the following quotes interesting and useful.
From Outrage, by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann:
pg 36-37
"In 1988, the INS started the Institutional Hearing Program so that it could complete deportation hearings while an alien detainee was still in jail. The idea was that the prisoner would be kicked out as soon as his sentence was up. But the Center for Immigration Studies reports that "the process immediately bogged down due to the magnitude of the problem - in 2000, for example, nearly 30 percent of federal prisoners were foreign born.
The agency couldn't find enough pro bono attorneys to represent criminal aliens (who have extensive due process rights in contesting deportation), and so would have to request continuance after continuance for the deporation hearings. Securing immigration judges was a difficulty as well."
"The result was incredible: in 1997, the INS didn't know where a third of the foreign-born inmates went after they were released from prison. They were right back on the streets, in the United States.
"As Americans for Legal Immigration PAC president William Gheen notes, "Illegal aliens have been walking out of American prisons after serving their time at taxpayer expense without being deported. Our government can't or won't find the hundreds of thousands of known felon illegal aliens walking America's streets tonight, much less stop the new felons coming in tonight across our unsecured borders.""
