Nashville law enforcement were startled by the success of a new program designed

to make it easier to identify illegal aliens who run afoul of the law. The federal program, which is known simply as 287(g), provides enhanced communication and cooperation between federal immigration authorities and local law enforcement to help identify and initiate deportation proceedings of criminal illegal immigrants.

Jared Allen of the Nashville City Paper reported that after one week of Davidson County Sheriff’s Office running instant immigration checks on all foreign-born persons arrested and booked into the Nashville jail, they found that 81 of the 97 individuals self-reported as having birthplaces outside of the United States, were in this country illegally.

Davidson County Sheriff’s Office personnel were certified to participate in the 287(g) program which is part of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. The program allows state and local law enforcement officers to be trained to act as immigration officers.

The newly trained Davidson County Sheriff’s Office immigration officers identified the 81 illegal aliens out of a total of 920 individuals booked during the week April 16 – 23, the first week 287 (g) immigration checks were run.

Numbers showing how many of those 81 individuals were detained in the Metro jail, versus how many were released with notices to appear before a federal immigration judge in Memphis to prove their residency were unavailable, Sheriff’s Office personnel told the Nashville City Paper.

The exact birthplaces of those 81 individuals were also not available, although the Sheriff’s Office estimates that between 90-95 percent were from either Mexico or a Central or South American country.

The fact that a full 84 percent of the foreign-born persons arrested — and 9 percent of all persons arrested — that week were identified as illegal aliens and set for removal, came as welcome news to Sheriff Daron Hall, the chief proponent of the 287(g) program.

“In two weeks, we will have set for removal a higher number of persons than we had set for removal in an entire year under the old system,” Hall said.

In all of 2006 under the old system, federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents working in Vermont identified 151 Nashville arrestees as illegal aliens for the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. Under the rules of 287(g), instant immigration checks can be carried out by local ICE trained law enforcement personnel without the need to wait for ICE agents to check immigration status.

“If we keep on this track, in another week we will have processed 160 for removal,” Hall said. “So we will have done in two weeks what would have taken a year.”

And at a rate of 80 persons a week, in the next year Nashville will set for deportation some 4,160 persons — mostly Hispanic — or roughly 11 percent of the entire estimated population of Hispanic individuals living in Davidson County.

The U.S. Census Department estimated Davidson County’s 2005 Hispanic population to be 37,967 or 6.6 percent of the county’s 575,261 persons.

Because identifying and incarcerating illegal aliens can be a drain on local law enforcement resources the federal government initiated the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP). SCAAP is a payment program administered by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), through its component the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), in conjunction with the Immigration and ICE, a bureau within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“Circle-the-Wagons Blockade Against Anarchy”

S T O P the Bush-Kennedy Plan to Give Trucker-Jobs to Mexican Drivers

All 48 CONUS state legislature capital-buildings circled & shut down

National Capital U-Circled; Bumper-to-Bumper, Three-Wide

Monday Tuesday – Wednesday

APRIL 23, 24, 25- 2007

The CB-radios are rumbling already- we have a ‘war’ on our hands.

Do you agree with the Bush-Kennedy Plan to “outsource” your job to a Mexican national driver ? Do you remember how the Congress stood up when the farmers circled the Capital with John Deere tractors, and tied-up the city big-time ?

President Bush and his ally, Sen. Teddy Kennedy have already set in motion a process to displace American truckers out of their jobs within 45 days- with their insidious Mexican trucker pilot program. Bush signed a Bill that allows thousands of substandard 18-wheeler long haul rigs from Mexico onto America’s Interstate and local highway system. Mexican drivers, who can’t read, speak or understand English- receive full access to America’s highways.

What are we thinking ?

Bush, Kennedy and friends place all American motorists at risk- Mexican drivers with average 6th grade educations gained in a Third World country, gross incompetence and habitually drunk Mexican drivers- as well as their un-inspected, unsafe trucks and trailers. Not only will American truckers lose their jobs, but American motorists become collateral damage in accidents guaranteed to occur-closing highways and tying up traffic in the process.

The Bush-Kennedy action mandates a new beginning- where American truckers’ jobs vanish with a new version of the familiar song, “Mexican drivers do the jobs that American truckers won’t do- for slave-wages.”

This “takeover” will happen in gradual stages. Talk About Depressing.

First, the independent haulers will see their loads undercut by Mexican drivers. Later, Mexican drivers will chip away at produce- and contract- haulers.

Given just a little time- Wal-Mart and CostCo (Swift) and Home Depot will hire Mexican drivers at half the wages of American truckers- with no fringe-benefits.

Mexican truckers, ever looking for black market loads of people, drugs and products, will create new smuggling routes across the USA. How will the 3,000 DHS-ICE officers and our loyal state police in the lower-48 handle that additional workload ?

Given enough time, the Bush-Kennedy duo will see to it that American trucking follows the auto industry, construction, drywall, painting, landscape and fast food industry- into the toilet.

Trucker Boycott and Blockade; 21-23 April 2007

Therefore, truckers from four border states- Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California- and beyond, may smell the bacon and choose to participate in a trucker boycott; April 23, 24, 25, 2007. Those truckers that want to stop this latest insult to America’s working class by this president and Congress may elect to shut their rigs down for the entire three days.

Lack of Appreciation MUST Be Properly Rewarded

It is high-time to show Bush and his sorry friends in Congress that truckers are the lifeblood of our nation- and can paralyze this country in a New York minute- if our sorry-assed leaders continue on this national suicide mission of killing jobs for American truckers. Additionally, truckers may surround all 48 state capitals with their rigs nestled nose-to-tail- park ’em, and walk away !

Mr. Bush and Mr. Kennedy, if you and your allies in Congress decide to spit on American truckers, we’ll see who can spit into the next pasture!
