Feds arrest more than 160 foreign nationals in northern Va. in 3-day immigration sweep - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/feds-arrest-more-than-160-foreign-nationals-in-northern-va-in-3-day-immigration-sweep/2011/03/23/ABNQRVJB_story.html - broken link)

Amazing! Political leaders actually doing their job and getting after ICE for failing to do it's job.

Stewart said the statistics show that ICE routinely fails to detain known illegal immigrants even when they have been convicted of serious crimes, including felonies. He said in Prince William County alone, Prince William authorities have turned over 3,000 criminal aliens to ICE in recent years, and ICE refuses to say whether those people were detained, deported to released back into the community.

Stewart suspects that the vast majority were turned loose, based on the fact that Prince William police have ended up re-arresting 346 of them.



Interesting - Americans committing felony crimes end up in prison but illegals committing felony crimes are simply released.

This is being reported on all local news channels here in the DC area. I hope it sends a message. Unfortunately, until they get serious about border security, arresting these miscreants is a waste of time and money, because they will only return once deported. That is, if they are ever deported. Let’s not forget Obama instructed Holder to release 500,000 last year. I am truly sick of this.
