-Caveat Lector- Washington just doesn't get it. When you pass laws you have to pay the cost of the law. BTW, they are not immigrants. They broke U.S. law when they entered the U.S. illegally. They are illegal aliens.
from news services Unless the federal government provides the money to keep illegal immigrants jailed, Sheriff Lee Baca said Thursday he may release those who commit low-level crimes. Baca said his department typically holds about 4,000 illegal immigrants in county jails and, in recent years, has received about $70 million from the U.S. Justice Department to cover those costs. "That illegal immigrant money has been a real godsend to the department," Baca said, adding that the proposed federal budget for this year does not include those funds. That could have dire effects on the county jail system, according to the Sheriff. "I'm considering a strategy, if we are not fully funded, of releasing illegal immigrants who are the lower-level offenders," Baca said. The county simply cannot afford to continue paying to house those inmates, and shouldn't have to anyway, Baca said. "We cannot get this current administration to realize that the problem of illegal immigrants in America is not a local problem and responsibility," he said. "It is a national problem and responsibility." Baca said California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein is lobbying to get that money put back into the federal budget. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
