 | US Probation Department, Eastern District of New York:
6, 333 cases active from March 1, 1997 - to Feb 28, 1998
50 % of the offender population were not American citizens
27% were illegal or legal aliens
22% citizenship status unknown
Illegal aliens were less likely than all others to satisfy their special
conditions of probation.
INS misses at least 50% of illegal aliens who are in state prisons.
INS misses 100% of all illegal aliens released on bail - they simply
disappear.
Every year the entry visas of thousands of foreign students expire
An order removal is sent - it is called a "run letter"
87% of illegal aliens who get these letters run
94% of students from countries linked to terrorism disappear after their
visas expire.
Accused felons are supposed to be tried in federal court because immigration
violations are federal crimes. If guilty, they are supposed to serve time in
jail and then be deported. However, if the illegal alien has almost any kind
of ID - nothing fancy a drivers licnese or social securtiy card -he willl be
placed in the state of local jail facility and tried in state or laocal
court. After jail time, he will be released back into the community.
One of a Probatiion Officers Clients was a student who told interviewers he
knew nine of the nineteen 9-11 hijackers.
His student visa had expired years before. He had been convicted of
social security fraud. He had been reported to the FBI.
He had been ordered deported by the court. He currently lives on Staten
Island.
Bring back oh bring back Ellis Island.
