LOU DOBBS, CNN ANCHOR: Tonight: The federal government is slashing homeland security grants to one of this country's most vulnerable states, Arizona. The state has the highest number of illegal alien border crossings, the largest amount of illegal drug smuggling across our border with Mexico. We will have that special report.

Jobs Americans Won't Do? The Swift Meat Packing Co. raids dispell that Myth.

This article does suggest that Swift knew about the raids as they were making changes prior to the raid.

Yearbook of Immigration Statistics
The Yearbook of Immigration Statistics is a compendium of tables that provides data on foreign nationals who, during a fiscal year, were granted lawful permanent residence (i.e., admitted as immigrants or became legal permanent residents), were admitted into the United States on a temporary basis (e.g., tourists, students, or workers), applied for asylum or refugee status, or were naturalized. The Yearbook also presents data on immigration law enforcement actions, including alien apprehensions, removals, and prosecutions.

Various statistics on legal and illegal immigration. Some historical data on immigration numbers compared with more current numbers. Includes comparison of country of origin. Also includes tables with cost analysis and statistics on displacement of American workers. Includes some statistics on public assistance. Some of the info is about legal immigrants and some is about illegal immigrants.

Employers rarely penalized
Employers who hire undocumented workers such as Reyes to do a host of jobs — from construction and meat packing to agricultural work and painting — rarely face penalties, even though a federal law passed in 1986 criminalized the hiring of illegal immigrants.
In fiscal year 1999, the government issued 417 notices of "intent to fine" employers for knowingly making such illegal hires. But by 2004, that number had dropped to three, according to a June 21, 2005, Government Accountability Office report. Worksite enforcement amounted to less than 5% of all of the federal government's ICE investigation activities. Since 9/11, the government has "almost exclusively focused worksite enforcement resources" of illegal immigration on sites such as airports and nuclear power plants, according to the report.
But federal officials say they've been strategically shifting away from administrative fines to criminal charges — last fiscal year, that approach resulted in 127 criminal convictions, up from 46 the previous year.
And already, word has spread that the government is cracking down on employers, which in some …..

Illegal Immigrants Account For 44 Percent Of Worst Drug Cases

By Lori Harrison-Stone
The Morning News
ROGERS -- Of the 57 arrests for delivery or intent to deliver drugs in Rogers since the first of 2005, 43 were Hispanic and 25 were illegal immigrants, according to statistics gathered by Mayor Steve Womack on Wednesday.

"Forty-four percent of the worst-of-the-worst drug arrests were illegals," Womack said. "Forty-four percent of the big stuff should be a major concern to the citizens of this community."

Womack's plan now for dealing with the illegal immigration issue is to enlist six Rogers police officers in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement 287(g) program. The program provides law enforcement with training and authorization to identify, process and, if needed, detain illegal immigrants.

Since first announcing plans to come up with some kind of local process for dealing with illegal immigrants, Womack has maintained many of the drug cases city officers handle

The memo says one Texas district prosecutes migrants if the Border Patrol catches them at least six to eight times. The other district prosecutes after someone is caught at least seven times.


In late 2005, the government created a 200-mile zone near Del Rio, Texas, in which every adult arrested for illegal immigration would be prosecuted and jailed before being deported.

The San Diego office, which covers an area stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Arizona state line, does not prosecute "purely economic migrants" as a ……..

At $6.5 million per year, a Medicaid program that pays for prenatal care for immigrant women is costing the state more than five times what officials predicted two years ago.

The unexpected higher cost stems from Medicaid officials underestimating the number of women who would qualify and failing to factor in the cost of prescription drugs and hospital stays after deliveries. "I can't imagine the department missing the target so far on cost," said state Rep. Jay Bradford, D-White Hall. "And I'll have to follow up with them on that as chairman" of the Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee.

In April 2004, state Medicaid Director Roy Jeffus estimated ……

....Reports on file with state agencies and a Rocky Mountain News survey of police agencies show more than 15,000 people arrested or cited in Colorado between June and December 2006 were referred to ICE for investigation. The federal agency is responsible for determining the legal status of those arrested and whether to try to remove or deport them from the United States.

"Wow, that's a significant number," said state Sen. Tom Wiens, R-Castle Rock, author of the law.

Numbers unknown

The actual numbers of those reported are probably higher. Confusion over where to file the reports meant that filings for some cities and counties were not readily available.

Arapahoe County, which also tracked reports for the city of Centennial, had the most referrals, 2,167.

Undersheriff Mark Campbell said the county informs ICE about anyone in the jail who is foreign born or they suspect is foreign born.

"For example, a guy who comes in and speaks only Russian, but says he was born in Denver," Campbell said.

Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said most counties gave ICE the names of anyone booked into the county jail born outside the U.S. The county submitted 1,548 names to ICE, the third highest in Colorado. …….

……."Now, we can quantify and prove that ICE is not doing its job."

By the numbers

Data reported under new Colorado law to immigration authorities as possible criminal illegal immigrants:

• Arapahoe County/ Centennial 2,167

• Jefferson County 1,737

• Boulder County 1,548

• Denver 1,351

• Grand County 1,341

• Aurora 1,194

• Weld County 1,189

• Adams County 706

• Larimer County 633

• El Paso County 471

Other selected cities and towns:

• Lakewood 69

• Westminster 56

• Lakeside 24

• Boulder 161

• Thornton 91

• Fort Collins 1

• Grand Junction 0

• Northglenn 65

• Not everyone arrested suspected illegal immigrants last year.

More than 100 cities and counties reported no referrals to ICE, including the town of Nucla on the Western Slope. But the town included in its filing an excuse. "We had no marshal in 2006," wrote Town Clerk Sandra Berg.

DIXIE: THERE IS ACTUALLY SUPPOSE TO BE A GRAPH WITH THIS SHOWING THE CRIMINAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE WORKPLACE ARRESTS FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. IF YOU GO TO THE LINK THE GRAPH IS THERE.

http://www.ice.gov/pi/news/factsheets/worksite.htm


ICE Worksite Enforcement Statistics:
The best measure of this new strategy lies in the number of arrests ICE has made for criminal violations in worksite enforcement investigations. Those arrested include a variety of persons–corporate officers, employers, managers, contractors and facilitators. These arrests also include illegal aliens charged with criminal violations. Aliens have been charged with possession and/or distribution of fraudulent documents, re-entry after deportation or entry without inspection.
Another measure of ICE’s new strategy lies in the number of illegal aliens arrested on administrative immigration violations during worksite enforcement investigations. Administrative immigration arrests generally refer to illegal alien workers who are unlawfully present in the United States.


Criminal Prosecutions vs. Administrative Fines:
In the past, administrative fines often proved to hold little deterrence value for violators. Many employers came to view these fines as simply the “cost of doing business.â€
