DAILY HERALD
-- Lake County sheriff Mark Curran says 21.5% of jail inmates illegal immigrants - Tony Gordon
http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=235885&src=116
(ROSANNA PULIDO STATEMENT: I am Rosanna Pulido, an active member of You Don't Speak For Me. We are American Hispanics speaking out on illegal immigration because, contrary to popular belief, a sizable number of Latinos strongly object to illegal immigration. But our voices have largely been muffled by journalists and the mass media that absolutely refuses to report the story of law abiding American Hispanics. I am baffled because my government, who I trust to enforce the law no matter what the ethnicity or national origin of a person is, has been looking the other way while America is destroyed. What you and I must abide by, illegal aliens need not. The negative implications span our entire society. Congressman Steve King of Iowa announced that since 9/11 over 40,000 American Citizens have lost their lives at the hands of illegal aliens. Schanna Gayden, a thirteen year old African American rising star was gunned down in Chicago by an illegal alien who had been arrested 27 times before he took her life. Had the 287G program been in effect, Schanna Gayden along with tens of thousands American citizens would still be with us. Regardless of what you have heard Illegal immigration is not solely the responsibility of the Federal Government. When the Sheriff's Department and local police Departments in their normal course of daily activities comes in contact with an illegal alien, it might be an alien who is a previously deported alien or a wanted fugitive in another jurisdiction. Having worked as a Police Dispatcher I understand that when officers cannot fully do their job, it puts all officers across America at risk as well as American citizens. When officers can't do their job, we are not assured of a civil society where the rule of law actually allows our freedom, prosperity and liberty. With an estimated 20 millions people living outside the law, we're all at risk. Law Abiding citizens are well aware that Cook County because of their "Sanctuary County Status" actually promote disregard for the rule of law to help illegal aliens. Truthfully this is a paradoxical way of hurting them. The rule of law is the sustainer of the free and prosperous society that draws legal immigrants to the United States. It is something that their own countries often cannot guarantee them, and it is what makes our country look so appealing. And if we shirk the rule of law we are cheating all law abiding immigrants out of the kind of society they are seeking in the first place. On behalf of American Hispanics and legal immigrants we applaud the Lake County Sheriff's Department for promoting the rule of law, It is not animosity to enforce our laws. It is simply justice, a justice law abiding Americans are hungering for.)
