The human cost
All inmates in DOC custody that have an ICE hold
(large file - .rtf format)
I have received an updated ICE detainer list for all inmates in DOC custody. (from my usual source) This list is current as of May 8, 2006. It includes "country of birth" for the inmates. We now have a total of 909 illegal alien inmates sitting in our prisons at taxpayer expense.
This costs us $22,405,441.05 every year.
($67.53 X 365)909 = $22,405,441.05
Cost source
And this doesn't include the hundreds, if not thousands, of inmates in our county jails.
Now regardless of the dollar cost, look at the crimes on that list. Look at the human cost. Oregon taxpayers pay for the housing of these criminals who shouldn't even be in this country but the children and our communities pay as victims.
How can Bush look himself in the mirror knowing that children are being raped by his "good-hearted folks" who "just come here to work hard"?
And yes, Americans are rapists too. But we need to prevent every single crime we can and if the causation is clear: if these people were not in our communities then they couldn't commit crimes in our communities!

As the Salem Police are just now ringing a neighborhood with Yellow Crime Scene Tape and marking the shell casings as a result of a drive by shooting at a City Bus shelter (a few blocks from the Lancaster Mall), I ask we not forget about the families of the 909 that we are paying to support while they wait in jail.
Daniel my friend, if we added court appointed attorneys and interpreters, the cost would be staggering...MTA
Excellent point. The dollar amount listed is just to house them. It took money to arrest them, prosecute them, transport them, clean up the meth lab, etc.
I heard on Lars from a DA, AVERAGE CASE TO PROSECUTE IS MIN. OF $80k each!
Where are the Kool-aid idiots now? Got nothing to say about this? "They're only here for their families. They don't put any strain on our economy. whine whine."
Didn't think so. The illegal supporter arguments just don't hold water.
Check out this 2005 article from The Rocky Mountain News:
"Foreign-born inmates slip through ICE net"

Where are the illegals who have committed lesser crimes? Right back on the streets.
What we need are federally-authorized and privately-funded deportation courts.
You know, to do the jobs that ICE agents won't do.
Way to go, MINUTEMEN, doing the job that our own government won't do!
Remember when we weren't allowed to take fresh fruit and some plants from state to state.
Oregon and California had border patrol checking for these items. Why were our borders worth protecting a few years ago when the worry was fruit flies but now we had the horrible criminals and illegals freely crossing state borders as well as our national borders. If we could have fruit inspectors on the borders we can certainly put state inspectors on the borders. Enforce the existing laws before taking time to invent more.
And keep in mind that these are only inmates that ICE has bothered to put a hold on. I have it from another corrections worker that many many more inmates don't get an ICE hold even though they are here illegaly!
Hey, come on! These friendly folks are only commiting the crimes that Americans won't do!

I am a former deputy sheriff from the largest sheriff's office in Colorado.
We had a policy reguarding illegals and an assigned ICE agent who came in twice a week. He would look over the inmate roster, flag those from out of country, place the ICE hold and wait until we were done. Then it was off to the ICE holding facility in Aurora, more waiting, then finally out of country. The amount of time it took for them to get back into Colorado once deported was only a mere 4 days... but thats another story in and of itself.
What did this cost my county? Nadda, zip, zilch... It hurts to see that in Oregon the hold their hands types are running the show...
Super color scheme, I like it! Good job. Go on.
