Sounds good to me!

In the post below is the transcript of Womack's presentation to the City Council.
And it was covered in the Courier News and the Daily Herald today.
Sounds good, right? WRONG!
We have the results of first 195 people screened (March through September) and it reveals some gaping holes in the screening process. That number has grown to 253 according to the chief.

Here's the problem with the screening/pick-ups by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE):
1) 68 of those 195 had been previously deported and, according to ICE Secure Communities Program they want to get those repeat offenders off the street and into court to prosecute them for coming back. Yet they were all set free by Elgin PD.
2) Five of those 195 had outstanding ICE warrants, otherwise known as fugitives who defied deportation orders. (There are nearly 600,000 illegal aliens on that list alone.)
3) Valentin Sierra-Martinez was picked up and screened by Elgin in April and in June and put back on the street. TWO chances to figure out he was a gang member and a felon and they blew it. ICE finally picked up Valentin themselves on July 18th.

The list of 195 is filled with people picked up for DUI, drug charges, and domestic abuse and yet the city leaders are content to just let them slide without a whimper. They say ICE won't take them because they don't fit the "criteria" for immediate notification.

We've been talking with the city council until we are blue in the face and they just don't get it that when they don't demand more from ICE they are telling the citizens that they just don't care what we think.

*They don't care that the guy headed the other way on the road is drunk, has no license AND doesn't belong in the United States.
*They don't care that these same 195 are the ones who are getting paid in cash (tax evasion) or are running up back taxes on someone else's Social Security Number.
*They don't care that every year these 195 are siring anchor babies that WE have to pay for.

The reality is that if AFLA hadn't forced them into it they'd still be skipping down the garden path ignoring this problem in the name of special interests.
