State immigration officials say the number of
illegal immigrants arrested during the 2007 fiscal year increased
by 77 percent from last year.
Authorities also deported a record number of people who
committed crimes or were ordered to leave the country by a judge
but remained in the U.S.
The 2,579 arrests are part of a nationwide effort by Immigration
and Customs Enforcement to track and detain immigrants who stayed
after they were ordered to leave. Others may have lost their appeal
for political asylum, or other immigration benefits, and stayed on
in the United States illegally, while some are foreign-born gang
members or violent criminals.
A network of government squads arrested 30,408 people nationwide
in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. Those overall numbers
nearly doubled, from 15,462 in the fiscal year 2006."

As I read all of the news after searching illegal immigrants, it is ovious that the Chamber of Commerce is working against regular citizens who are having the share community space with people that we do not know, and who do not bother to speak to us at all.
The Chambers of Commerce from the Federal level down to the local city all believe one thing, they want to protect, encourage, and interfer with every effort to make the illegal immigrants go back to their homeland and enter legally. They do not have our interest at heart, they are thinking only of marked down labor wages. With Alabama Power increasing it’s rates, food cost going up over half what it used to be, and gasoline reaching over $ 3.00 a gallon, Alabamians are angry that the illegals are inside our state and not enough is being done to escort them back to their home county.
We simply can’t work for less, and we can’t afford to be the social services department of Mexico.

I think someone needs to give that guy in Houston a thousand dollar reward for each burglar he killed and send him on his way.
It’s past time we started sending messages to these ILLEGAL ALIENS. I’m not against anyone coming to this country legally.
I’m sick of the people in the press referring to these illegal as immigrants. The term immigrant should be reserved to people
who come to this country through the proper channels. It’s so easy
to be labeled prejudice when commenting on someone who has entered this country illegally just because they are a member of a particular race. Crime, disease and drugs can all be traced to these people. The burglars that were shot in Houston were from Columbia. One had been busted and kicked out of the country before but he made his way back (if he ever left). When is the USA going to figure it out, these countries have found a solution to their over crowded jails. Send them to the US.
