Residents angry over release of illegal immigrants

Four illegal immigrants who ran from police during a traffic stop were arrested Tuesday. But they were quickly released after federal immigration agents refused to pick them up for deportation.

LENOIR CITY, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The jailhouse doors flew wide open Tuesday to four illegal aliens who ran from police during a traffic stop just one day earlier.

"It's frustrating to some degree, but there's also nothing we can really do about it," said Asst. Chief Jimmy Davis with Loudon County Sheriff's Office.

The quad were among 10 suspected illegals enroute to Knoxville from Texas when their van was stopped along I-75 in Loudon County. The ordeal caused an intense manhunt which even included a Knox County sheriff's chopper.

"We don't know what type of person you're dealing with, why they're fleeing law enforcement, is there some type of narcotics, somebody that's wanted, somebody in the middle of a crime," said Davis.

Turns out Loudon sheriff's deputies did everything right. But it's when they called federal immigration agents to pick up the illegals, and what happened next that has jaws dropping across East Tennessee.

"There's just not the manpower and resources to deport every illegal immigrant that is found in the United States. It's just not possible," said Davis.

Local residents sounded off upon hearing about the releases. "I don't think it's right. They need to send those boys right back," said Greg Keener.

But county deputies lack power to deport illegals. And since the feds refused to, deputies had to cut the group loose.

"Arrest them, hold them, and send them back," said Shirley Goth.

"I think they need to get their stuff together," said Rebecca Keener.

ICE spokeswoman Barbara Gonzalez released this statement reading: "we prioritize our efforts based on those that pose the greatest threat to the community."

Its been the story of nearly 40 years of immigration law- since I started in law enforcement in 1971----picking up an illegal was a joke and almost a waste of time- not only to the local officer, but the Border Patrolman that got called out of bed at 2AM to come talk to him in his lingo and certify he was an illegal- and then have to write him an NTA to appear 3-4-5 months down the line for deportation and let him go.......

It makes me laugh/sad that folks think this is a current problem- or blame it on the current administration-- but it has been going on for 40 years.... :( :( :(

It's at it's breaking point OT. People were upset with it during the Bush years too. That's why they voted for change.

Everything else is only highlighting the problem.

WHAT CHANGE :???: Both running in 08- McSame (backed by the US Chamber of Commerce and Big Industry) and Obama- proposed a new immigration law which included AMNESTY- and fasttracked citizenship for those already in the country- along with citizenship for the spouses and all relatives already snuck in- with abilities of those with Anchor babies to stay in country and be provided for...

You apparently don't remember the Bush/Kennedy/McCain sponsored immigration/amnesty Bill- or all the laws on checking legal status/ID for home loans that Bush told his boys not to enforce- which helped fasttrack the Bush Bust :???: :(

There was not a horsetails difference between the Repub candidates (McCain- big Industry and US Chamber of Commerce wanting semi slave labor) and the Dems (Obama- unions wanting the ability of labor to organize without being deported- and wanting more Dems) on immigration....It was a tossup when you compared them....

Prioities-- too many other major issues that nothing had been done on for the past 15 years- plus the realization of how nonenforcement of legal status/ID bankrupt some states along with leading to the Bush Bust....

Priorities? Guess the States will just have to go it alone then. I thought CA didn't like Arizona's Immigration Bill.

Court OKs ban on day laborers soliciting work
Bob Egelko, Chronicle Staff Writer

Wednesday, June 9, 2010

(06-09) 17:30 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Cities can prohibit day laborers from soliciting work from passing drivers, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.

In a 2-1 decision, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said an ordinance in Redondo Beach (Los Angeles County) prohibiting anyone on a street or sidewalk from seeking work from motorists, and prohibiting drivers from stopping to offer a job, is a valid safety measure that does not interfere with free speech.

The ordinance does not regulate the content of a day laborer's speech, only the location, Judge Sandra Ikuta said in the majority opinion. She said workers can reach out to prospective employers "in safer and less disruptive ways," such as by handing out leaflets, speaking to pedestrians or canvassing door-to-door.

Dissenting Judge Kim Wardlaw said the law punishes constitutionally protected expression and "eliminates the only means by which day laborers can communicate their availability for employment."

The ordinance has been on hold since a federal judge blocked enforcement in 2004, after a city crackdown in which police - some posing as employers - cited about 60 would-be workers.

Dozens of California communities have similar laws, including several in the Bay Area, but federal judges have blocked every attempt at enforcement, said Thomas Saenz, chief lawyer for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.

He said the last local case was about seven years ago, when a judge barred Mountain View and Los Altos from implementing their ordinances, which the cities later dropped.

The ruling "provides a clear blueprint" for other cities, said Redondo Beach City Attorney Michael Webb. "They can have effective enforcement without infringing on anyone's constitutional rights."

But Saenz said such efforts would be futile, because day laborers "respond to the demand for their services" and would simply move to the next community, along with their prospective employers.

Redondo Beach modeled its law on a Phoenix ordinance that prohibited fundraisers from stopping drivers and asking for money. The court rejected a challenge to the Phoenix measure in 1987, a ruling that the court majority invoked Wednesday.

Like Phoenix, Redondo Beach has prohibited "acts of solicitation that risk interfering with the flow of traffic," while allowing alternate means of communication, Ikuta said.

Wardlaw, in dissent, said the Phoenix ruling was aimed at conduct that stopped traffic and would not apply to an ordinance that barred people from standing on a sidewalk and letting drivers know they were available for work.

Chris Newman, legal director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, a plaintiff in the case, said the ordinance seeks to "criminalize day laborers' very being." He said he would ask the full appeals court for a rehearing.

ours hang out at the parking lots of convenience stores..

but with communities "trying" to do something.. and the courts stifling their attempts at enforcement, the Arizona Law is a great start, .. now what we need is for a community/county to criminalize illegal immigration..

once that succeeds ... it will place the issue in the local hands and get solved.. at least locally..
