600,000 illegal immigrants await deportation: Mitchell

Almost 600,000 illegal immigrants accused of violent crimes in the U.S. await deportation, the state’s Homeland Security director said this week.

Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents apprehended more than 61,000 illegal fugitives with the goal to eliminate the huge backlog, said state Safety Commissioner Dave Mitchell who also directs Homeland Security.

Mitchell addressed the hot button issue of immigration during a speech Tuesday to the Evening Exchange Club. He was educated in Murfreesboro and Rutherford County. He worked as a Murfreesboro Police officer before a career with the FBI. He served on the first Anti Terrorist Task Force in New York City.

I'd like to cheer the fact that so many await deportation but until THE WALL is built, its not going to do much good since they have no qualms with being repeat offenders.

What about the other 20+ million illegal aliens? Shouldn't they also be awaiting deportation?

At the rate they're deporting these 600,000 (the most dangerous), it'll be what, about 600 years until they're finished??
