Preview Of What Is To Come
Southwest Border Courts Swamped With Immigration-Related Felony Cases
Fox News ....for complete story
WASHINGTON
Immigration-related felony cases are swamping federal courts along the Southwest border, forcing judges to handle hundreds more cases than their peers elsewhere.
Judges in the five, mostly rural judicial districts on the border carry the heaviest felony caseloads in the nation. Each judge in New Mexico, which ranked first, handled an average of 397 felony cases last year, compared with the national average of 84.
Federal judges in those five districts — Southern and Western Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California — handled one-third of all the felonies prosecuted in the nation's 94 federal judicial districts in 2005, according to federal court statistics.
While Congress has increased the number of border patrol officers, the pace of the law enforcement has eclipsed the resources for the court system.
Judges say they are stretched to the limit with cases involving drug trafficking or illegal immigrants who have also committed serious crimes. Judges say they need help.
Wild Thing's comment.........
Just a preview of what is to come...all brought to you by your Federal government....and all funded by the U.S. taxpayer. But Whoraldo says that illegals commit far less crimes than us evil lawless Americans.

What scares me is that Dubya doesn't seem to concerned that 12 - 20 million ILLEGAL ALIENS are already here! "When you corrupt the legal system you corrupt the world!" - Al Pacino as Lucifer in the Devil's Advocate (1997) ... "VANITY...My favorite sin!"

Seems like those Federal prosecuters find time to charge and kangaroo court law enforcement people though.

One crime committed by someone who shouldn't even be here in this country is one crime too many.

The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day. Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals.

That's 25 Americans who die each day needlessly at the hands of people who stole into the United States illegally.

This is just getting out of hand.
Round 'em up, move 'em out, build that electrified fence!

Somebody mentioned an electrified fence once before and said it should be NON-lethal, I say charge that sucker to 24KV and fry the little bastards on the spot. Sort of like an electronic bug catcher only this time it would be char-broiled Mexicans.
Ahhh I apologize for that, Illegals not Mexicans, and help the little pygmies in New Guinea... Amen.
