Madam Speaker. new Colorado State law requires local law enforcement agencies to report illegals to Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities when those individuals are jailed for crimes. Then the Feds are to deport these criminals back to their countries after they serve their sentences. but there is a problem. The Federal Government doesnt deport these criminals. According to a Colorado newspaper. 37 out of every 38 illegals that are convicted and are reported to ICE for deportation are just released back on the streets of those towns. What does this mean for homeland security. for citizens and lawabiding legal immigrants? It means criminal illegals. instead of being sent home by Uncle Sam. are set free to roam our communities. to continue to steal. rob and hurt people. Colorado police are doing their job. but. once again. when its time to ante into the pot. the Federal Government folds its hand.
