The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) announced its augmented investment of $7 million to boost U.S. Attorney offices in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California. Sixty-four assistant U.S. Attorneys and 35 support Staff will be hired to expand the prosecution of human traffickers, drug and gun smugglers, violent criminals and money launderers.

This increase shows that border security is a top priority for the DOJ and these new sources will allow for better border security. The investments in the U.S. attorney offices are great but the current influx of illegal aliens will continue as long as the borders are open. The Federal government needs to take their constitutional responsibility and secure our borders by building the fence. Once the fence is built, the amount of illegal aliens will decrease and money can be spend on real immigration reform. More Here

Recently, the South Carolina sheriffs have endorsed a plan to build prisons only for illegal aliens awaiting deportation. Currently, the illegal aliens are taking up valuable space in the already over-crowded prisons of South Carolina. The current plan for these prisons sets forth that each prison will hold a maximum of 400 illegals, be run by state officials, and be paid for by a Department of Homeland Defense program.  However, the proposal is still a work in progress.

Ordinances passed by cities such as in Hazleton, Pennsylvania have shown significant declines in illegal immigration activity. One such decline is that fewer immigrants are sending money back home to Latin America. An Inter-American Development bank study , shows that fewer immigrants from Latin America are regularly sending money to their home countries because of the growing restrictions on illegal immigrants.

 The laws passed in Pennsylvania includes fines and loss of privileges for any landlords or employers who rented to or hired illegal immigrants. These ordinances clearly follow the plan of immigration through attrition—taking away the magnets (i.e. jobs, renting ability) will slowly, yet consistently decrease the amount of illegal aliens in the United States.  The illegal alien ordinances are meeting their goals which are to get illegal immigrants to change their behavior and leave. Basically, it’s time to change the climate so that illegal immigrants get the message that the party is over and they need to go home.
