Illegal Aliens with multiple offenses are not considered for deportation, leaving Americans asking, “Who the Hell do we deport?” In an accessible text file for GAO report number GAO-05-646R entitled ‘Information on Certain Illegal Aliens Arrested in the United States’, it was released on May 9, 2005.

States:
Obviously our government has an affection for the illegal Mexican alien that transcends common sense and decency. By allowing these policies to continue makes us complicit in the absurdity of Progressive nonsense that costs our country untold millions in financial loss and suffering.
We performed our work from October 2004 through May 2005 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Further details on our scope and methodology, including how we selected the illegal aliens in our study population, are discussed in enclosure II.
Results:
The briefing slides in enclosure I address each of our three questions. In summary, for our study population of 55,322 illegal aliens, we found that:
* They were arrested at least a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien. Nearly all had more than 1 arrest. Thirty-eight percent (about 21,000) had between 2 and 5 arrests, 32 percent (about 18,000) had between 6 and 10 arrests, and 26 percent (about 15,000) had 11 or more arrests. Most of the arrests occurred after 1990.
* They were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien. One arrest incident may include multiple offenses, a fact that explains why there are nearly one and half times more offenses than arrests.[Footnote 6] Almost all of these illegal aliens were arrested for more than 1 offense. Slightly more than half of the 55,322 illegal aliens had between 2 and 10 offenses. About 45 percent of all offenses were drug or immigration offenses. About 15 percent were property-related offenses such as burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and property damage.
About 12 percent were for violent offenses such as murder, robbery, assault, and sex-related crimes. The balance was for such other offenses as traffic violations, including driving under the influence; fraud–including forgery and counterfeiting; weapons violations; and obstruction of justice.
* Eighty percent of all arrests occurred in three states–California, Texas, and Arizona. Specifically, about 58 percent of all arrests occurred in California, 14 percent in Texas, and 8 percent in Arizona.
Agency Comments and Our Evaluation:
The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security reviewed a draft of this report and had technical comments, which we incorporated as appropriate.
We are sending copies to the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security and interested congressional committees, and we will make copies available to others who request them. In addition, the report will be available at no charge on GAO’s Web site at http://www.gao.gov.
We Republicans maintain that we have a profound respect for the law, but we seem to a;;ow our leaders a wide interpretation of the law when it involves illegal aliens. It is time to demand answers to this bizarre double standard: we have on set of laws for American citizens and another set of laws for illegal aliens. We deserve to have the discrepancy explained and defined; especially, since we are paying for this privileged criminal class.
Although this lunacy has been going on for decades, President Obama and Ms Napolitano own this debacle for the time being. It is now their responsibility to explain or desist in this strange application of American Immigration Law and border enforcement.

AT LEAST the ones with five felonies or more, ok Big Sis… or is that racist?
Any protection from these animals would be an improvement, so TIA!
One thing I will say: if the border remains as porous as it is today, and if these guys were not going to be locked up in Mexico (or whichever other place we sent them to), then imprisoning them here *might* be preferable to deporting them, despite the cost. Of course proper border enforcement would allow us to deport them, which is ultimately preferable.
Skooks, you racist bastard.

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all died and went to Hell.
While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.
Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.
Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she is finished the devil informs her that the cost is 6 million dollars, so she writes him a check.
Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.
When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA so cheaply.
The devil smiles and replies, “Since Obama took over, it’s a local call.”

Oh ouch. 🙂
The simple fact is that illegal aliens have no ‘rights’ here. None at all.
johngalt: hi, I HOPE all of this is written on the list of thoses who wish for the PRESIDENCY,
so ,nothing get forgotten , because there is a lot , so when they rise on the platform,
TO reminds AMERICANS, why they come to SERVE.
@bees
That statement pertains to those who come to this country illegally, without legal purpose and standing. Those who have visa’s due to work, or with pending citizenship are not included.
Well, we’ve provided illegal Mexicans with all the things they can’t get in Mexico — health care, education, and jobs. It should be no surprise that they expect us to provide a revolving door for their criminals, too. It’s way past time to put an end to this nonsense, and the first order of business is to secure the border.

johngalt , I was including also all of the others mistakes done. bye
Do you suppose this is why the Democrats are pushing for voting rights for felons? This is a huge demographic of voters for the Democrats to lose. If you can think of a better reason, let’s hear your reasoning.
The progressive mentality of making a welfare system for the illegal and those who refuse to take care of themselves (parasites), are only building a house made out of rotting wood with the exterior handcraftedly painted to manipulate the population into buying it. The further the legal citizen and resident gets disinfranchised, the more the house’s rotted, and feeble interior is exposed from constant weathering of their plans but when does the Legal Citizen awaken that this scandal of a house is about to collapse inward? And will it collapse before we set foot inside? Their trap is activating due to the decay faster than they desire, and they must sell us this house before it collapses without its intended targets inside.
Well DUH!!! Why in the world would the left wish to deport a guaranteed, soon-to-be democrat voter and BREEDER of democrat voters!!! Can you imagine leftists eager to deport blacks??!!
400,000 were deported last year. Please contrast and compare that with the previous administration
@John ryan:
ok
By all means, check out the graphics.

Hmmm. It seems to me that ICE’s functions are being politicized now. The following is an excerpt about an internal ICE memo. It seems to be a pre-emptive strike against AZ’s law that is making it’s way through the court system.
