Illegal Immigration Blog #2

This article/website, http://immigrationcounters.com, contains current statistics that change every second. They are outstanding and more people should be informed of this so that something could be done.

The U.S. government spends tens of millions of dollars each year trying to persuade federal circuit courts to uphold orders for thousands of illegal immigrants to leave the country, but those orders have been enforced in only one-fifth of the cases. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a branch of the Department of Homeland Security, is responsible for "removing" illegal immigrants who stay in this country against the law. More than 80 percent of the illegal immigrants whose deportation orders were upheld by a federal appeals court last year were still in the country. If people are not getting removed then why should we still be paying for it, why should we pay for it from the get go. About 8,000 cases made it to the U.S. Court of Appeals last year and the study tracked the 7,200 cases in which the Justice Department prevailed. The study found that despite winning those cases, only 1,375 illegal immigrants, 19 percent, had been removed as of last month. People need to stop complaining about how this is so bad and to stop saying that they are doing something when they really are not. Something has to be done, not later but now.
