In a recent presentation by Henderson County Sheriff Rick Davis to the county commissioners, he said the 287(g) program, which has been in place for about six months, has been very successful.

A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to United States citizenship.
A NumbersUSA report shows that President-Elect Barack Obama's job stimulus plan, if successful, would have no impact on joblessness in America whatsoever if our immigration policy remains unchanged.
There is only one day left for President Bush to pardon former Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean. Both were convicted and sentenced to more than 10 years in prison back in 2006 for the shooting of a now-convicted Mexican drug smuggler. Before Bush's term expires, send a fax to the White House asking the President to pardon or commute the sentences of Ramos and Compean.
2009: Sponsored H.R. 588, 10k Run for the Border Act, introduced by Rep. Sue Myrick (R-N.C.).
H.R. 588, 10k Run for the Border Act, would increase penalties for employing illegal aliens up to $80,000 for the first offense, up to $200,000 for the second offense, and up to $1,600,000 for the third offense. Furthermore, 80% of the fines collected would be rewarded directly to state and local authorities.
NumbersUSA's members have been divided about the appropriateness of the actions of Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who have now been in prison for two years. But I believe that almost nobody believes they should spend another day in prison. In the name of fairness, proportionality and morale for our beleaguered defenders on the borders, Pres. Bush needs to release these border agents to their families. Please contact the White House today before Pres. Bush leaves.
