While most state and federal level government agencies adopt an apathetic attitude towards illegal immigration, more and more small localities, towns and counties across America are trying desperately to find some way to drive out the invaders, or at least move them on somewhere else.

The Dallas News reports: “The phone calls started pouring in at Irving [Texas] City Hall on Thursday morning. They were prompted by activists who implored a crowd of more than 1,000 people at a rally Wednesday night to call for an end to a program that turns over arrested illegal immigrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But most callers weren’t asking for an end to the program – they were voicing their support. ‘It was ringing over and over, and by far, the biggest percent was in favor,’ City Secretary Janice Carroll said Thursday afternoon.”

The Dallas newspaper continues: “Irving police last year began using what’s called the 24/7 Criminal Alien Program. It provides for around-the-clock communication with federal authorities and is designed to detain illegal immigrants who have been accused of a crime. It’s the latest tool being used by local governments in the absence of a federal overhaul of immigration laws. So far, Irving police have turned over more than 1,600 people to immigration officials. Mayor Herbert Gears estimates that about 300 people in Irving are being turned over each month – more than in any other city in the nation. He said city officials are obligated to uphold the law and will continue to use the program, which is available to any city that wishes to participate.”

Now that looks more like actual enforcement of the law than anything I’ve seen in a long time. At least the illegals are being driven off the streets. But always, we keep getting back to the two central questions. (1).Once the Latinos are in the hands of Immigration officials, how many of them are being actually, physically REMOVED FROM THIS COUNTRY versus being allowed to slip out the rear door back into our big cities? And (2).Where is this fence we were promised over a year ago, to keep those who are deported from returning? Why has it not been built? Why has the border not been sealed?

In many of these small communities that are attempting programs like this, it’s not even “racism” that motivates them. Small town America simply CAN’T AFFORD this massive influx of new, non-productive, non-taxpaying people who snap up all the entry-level jobs, all the affordable housing, and what few social and medical benefits are available, not to mention crowding the American children out of the public schools where classes end up being taught in Spanish. When there are too many parasites, the host dies, and this is what is happening to large parts of middle America.
