ICE Outlines Plan to Increase Alien Deportation
The federal government could begin cracking down on employers who hire undocumented workers and on residents with expired visas, according to a copy of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s new strategic plan obtained by The Texas Tribune.
The plan — “Strategic Priorities for Fiscal Years 2010-2014” — was sent to ICE employees but has yet to be made public. It also outlines the agency’s coming internal realignment; its expansion of operations in Mexico, Colombia and Canada; and the proposed construction of at least four additional regional immigration detention centers.

After all the anti-government and less-government rhetoric the past years, I wonder if there is enforcement money for anything!

Anything that discourages illegal immigration should be supported. Detention facilities suck and prisons suck, so stop coming into this country illegally and if you come here legally, don't do anything illegal- its that simple. And don't anybody retort with "they're racially profiled!" I grew up in Williamson County listening to punk rock and wearing ridiculous clothes; you think I haven't ever been profiled?? want to know what i did about it? I stopped wearing ridiculous clothes and made sure that i didnt do anything illegal. My parents called it growing up and being a responsible citizen.
Have the Mexican people no shame? Illegal immigration is modern day slavery and benefits only a few and those few are definitely NOT average Americans or Mexicans. Mexicans come here and are treated like dirt and they seem to be ok with it and want more of it. They aren't any more willing to do crappy jobs than any other person; they are simply willing to do it for less. Show some pride for Christ's sake. Many cultures have suffered under inept governments, a vast majority of those peoples rose up and did something about it. Why do you think this country is the best in the world? is it cuz we constantly run away from our problems to someone else's country and demand handouts?!?!?!? NO!!!

It will be interesting to see if it really happens. Among the worst offenders is the meat packing plants, slaughter houses, and the construction industry. Followed of course by domestic help. I have been advocating this for years now, and will be really surprised if they do any enforcement at the employer level, other than token raids for the publicity.

Put a stop to hand outs for all those undocumented people or atleast have a cut off date! TANF and Food stamps should be for emergencies or last resort only not their livelihood. People that actually work without criminal records are the least of my worries.
