Illegals in Waukegan, Carpentersville brace for tougher times
In an encouraging sign, aiders and abetters of illegal aliens are telling their lawbreaking “clients” to “be prepared” just in case the law is actually enforced.
According to an article in the Daily Herald:
Immigration activists pitch ‘be prepared’ as new motto
Two months after Waukegan leaders opted to train local officers in immigration enforcement, community leaders Thursday outlined plans for training of a different sort.
They will coach immigrants — legal or not — on exercising due process, hiring an attorney and creating childcare plans in the event of a parent’s deportation.
Confronted with heightened enforcement and weakened odds of federal reform, organizers contend immigrants and immigrant communities as a whole must be prepared…
A security push targeting undocumented immigrants and companies who knowingly hire them came after comprehensive reform languished in Congress.
In the past nine months, federal authorities deported 5,056 undocumented immigrants from Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky and Missouri. Nationwide, 149,376 deportations occurred during that time.
Our comment: of course, 149,000 deportations represent only “a drop in the bucket”—about 1% of the illegals currently in the U.S. Nonetheless, the aliens’ fear of being held legally accountable for their crimes is an encouraging sign, comparable to drug dealers fearing police sweeps of their “turf,” or white-collar criminals fearing audits.Though beefed up border patrols and improved fences are a must, interior enforcement is the real key to ridding our country of alien colonizers.
