Report Suspected Illegal Aliens
By Greg L | 2 May 2008 | Patriotism, Crime | 40 Comments
If you have information about persons you suspect may illegal aliens, or about employers that you believe may be unlawfully hiring illegal aliens, the Department of Homeland Security’s Field Intelligence Units wants you to contact them.
Field Intelligence Units (FIUs) are established to receive intelligence information from the public, law enforcement agencies and other sources and provide actionable leads and intelligence products to ICE law enforcement units. These units routinely exchange intelligence with other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies and other law enforcement and intelligence agencies. The public is encouraged to provide information relating to known or suspected threats or criminal activities under the jurisdiction of the DHS.
The email address for the Southeast Region Field Intelligence Unit which covers Virginia is SE-FIU@dhs.gov. I’m sure a significant number of readers have information that would be very helpful to furthering the mission of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. ICE can’t address what they don’t know about.
Be a patriot, and help protect your country by reporting suspected unlawful activity.

Do you mean illegal activity other than the fact that they are here illegally or only report them if you suspect they are into crimes beyond being here illegally? Somehow I doubt that ICE wants to know about the young, hard working illegal family renting a room from my neighbors. I have often thought of letting them know that I know, but they seem to be good people and God only knows who will replace them…
This refers to any illegal activity that falls within the purview of the Department of Homeland Security, which includes all violations of federal immigration laws.
Harboring an illegal alien is a federal felony. By all means that should be reported.
Park’d: That “young, hard working illegal family renting a room from my neighbors,” or the ones (in PW’s words) who simply “keep their noses clean” are renting from felons. It’s a federal felony to rent to or otherwise harbor an illegal alien. It’s also a federal felony to hire them. So all suspected illegal aliens should should be reported to ICE so that those who hire them and harbor them and aid and abet them can be investigated, arrested, and hopefully prosecuted.
Gee-sus. GL and I are thinking along the same lines. The fat broads on the other site must be wetting their panties.

That’s a major part of the problem. “Gee, they are nice people so i’ll give them a pass. They are illegal but………
So who will be the first ones that report the trucks and vans that pick up workers at the Coverstone 7-11?
What if they are private citizens who want to have their lawn cut?
Can ICE bust them for a felony also?
KP: yuppers
Well, let’s give it a try and see what happens….surely, they’d be far more interested in knowing about them than they would be interested in knowing about the young, hard working LEGAL family renting a room from my neighbors. Wouldn’t you think?
The idea of people reporting on other people smacks of Big Brother and of communistic ties.
It’s sickening to think that there are conservatives out there that think this is a good idea. This sounds like something the liberal left could dream up.
It’s sad that 1984 is not being seen as a warning but an instruction manual.
Anchor babe: If you saw a drug deal going down, would you report it? If you saw a bank robbery in progress, would you report it? If you saw child abuse occurring, would you report it?
Real Advocator didn’t your mother teach you to be respectful? Why would you call those on the other side “fat broads” . The problem basically with bvbl is that there is no respect, not for persons or in the way people are addressed.
Go ahead and report whomever you wish. I can tell you that ICE officials are giving applications to anyone who has been rounded up in the raids that does not have any criminal charges. They are actually working to help undocumented get some type of documentation, whether it be temporary status or some type of work authorization. They simply do not have time to deal with people who are not criminals. Being here without papers is neither a felony nor a misdeamnor. Check the federal law. It is a civil offense.
AnonforNow - you are sadly mistaken if you think ICE is giving applications to illegal aliens. Provide us all with the proof that ICE is aiding and abetting illegal aliens - they would then be in violation of federal law.
What a joke!
AnonforNow, I highly suggest you leave references to parents out of discussions.

THAT’S LIFE! These are unusual times and this country is being overun, YES OVERUN with people who think nothing of breaking the law to get into this country and continue to break our laws as a matter of course. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Deport them all!!!!!

You sound like the U.S. Department of Justice attorney for New Jersey who made the assenine statement yesterday that “it is not a crime to be in this country illegally.” The people of NJ are calling for him to be removed.
Thanks for the link. I just sent them an email.
While ICE may not respond immediately, they need the information. Any time someone calls with info, it may be that small piece of the puzzle that they need to get a search warrant. If they get multiple complaints with lots of accurate details on one address, it makes their job easier.
TRA, two of the examples are of a crime in progress and one is of a suspected crime. Crimes in progress that need law enforcement response are one thing assisting in the surveillance of persons you suspect but don’t have verifiable knowledge of having committed a crime is no different than people ratting out each other to the KGB. You are encouraging going away from our republic form of government by doing so.
Let’s put it another way. If you were held legally liable for an accusation and you stood to lose your home, car, family and freedom would you still make it? Every phone call you make, every ‘lead’ you provide chips away from the freedom that we all cherish in this country. Have you forgotten that?
Anon, to that I say: Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
I’m not saying I’m pro-immigration but I am saying that you don’t use *my* Constitution as toilet paper to get to your end game. As you say, they’re lawbreakers and if you believe yourself to be above them then don’t break or advocate the breaking of laws to deport them.
oops!! Email bounced. Copied the one from their site and it was returned twice. Anybody else have any problems??
Loudoun Times Mirror
Arrested Lansdowne workers released by ICE
http://loudountimes.com/news/2008/apr/22/arrested-lansdowne-workers-released-ice/
Its true - they were given instructions to fill out form I-765, though there were no gaurauntees it would be approved.
So carry on, call ICE. Let them spend loads of your tax dollars apprehending folks, only to release them because the truth is they don’t have the BED SPACE!!!

Coming here by sneaking in or otherwise fraudulently is a federal misdemeanor - for the 1st offense. 2nd offense makes it a federal felony.
I would begin to report people but all the suspected illegal aliens moved out of my neighborhood. The good thing is that many renters and a couple buyers have stepped up to fill some of the places. I think things are looking up and I’m not sure if it’s the resolution or fear of the resolution that’s doing it. I think the simple that fact people are now aware of what’s going on around them makes it threatening for illegals to domicile around PWC. Let’s hope this trend continues.
The INA [Immigration and Nationality Act] includes both criminal and civil components, providing both for criminal charges (e.g., alien smuggling, which is prosecuted in the federal courts) and for civil violations (e.g., lack of legal status, which may lead to removal through a separate administrative system in the Department of Justice). Being illegally present in the U.S. has always been a civil, not criminal, violation of the INA, and subsequent deportation and associated administrative processes are civil proceedings.
whether it be civil or criminal it’s still a violation. I really get perturbed when folks say “it’s civil or it’s criminal” like it makes a difference. it just determines which court you go to and what your punishment is. being illegally in the united states is a FEDERAL violation although it’s a relatively minor one and you’ll be usually released first strike. 2nd strike your going home with a paid ticket by the government i.e. deportation.
it’s pretty irritation how the apologists always have to wriggle their way around their substandard understanding of the law, breaking the law is breaking the law no matter what.
here ya’ go apologists, stop trying the slice the pie here and give the WHOLE pie:
Although unlawful entry into the United States is both
a criminal offense and a ground for removal, unlawful presence is only a ground for
deportation and is not subject to criminal penalty, except when an alien is present in the
United States after having been removed.
Illegal Aliens Demand ‘Rights’ and ‘Reforms’
sorry - disregard the last post - i’ll try again
As usual, the liberals got it all mixed up. Yaul are correct about the actual illegal aliens being in violation of civil, as opposed to criminal law.
Hold that thought.
Now think of the traitorous, low-life, scum-bags who (1) Rent to illegal aliens; (2) Hire illegal aliens; (3) Aid and abet illegal aliens in staying here in an unauthorized status. Can you picture those people in your little, twisted, knee jerking mini-brains at the same time that you are holding the above thought? Well these people in these categories are FELONS. They are in violation of CRIMINAL laws. These are the people whom ICE should be interested in. These are the people we should be reporting to ICE.
it’s really all a matter of the wording “entry” and “status”. Just because you are here the law does not assume you “entered”, you are just “here” i.e. you crossed that bridge already and you didnt get caught. When you do get caught you get unlawful presence which is typically a slap on the wrist.
the status is indeed civil, however you will get deported
the “entry” however is indeed criminal. BP usually deports those folks immediately however when they capture then i.e. running across the border or caught smuggling.
If we don’t do harsh things to some of the nice wonderful people who sneaked in here, more will follow them as has happened.
I’m not talking about physically assaulting anyone or beating people or doing murderous things - the kind of things that historically happen in countries when the immigrant population threatens the welfare of the established citizenry.
Deporting people, yes. Then they can go home and tell everyone around them their illegal trip to the U.S. and to Prince William County in Virginia was not worth doing.
Keep in mind that polls taken a year or two ago showed rouighly half of Mexico thinking about coming here. As it is 15% of their working-age population is here.
I think the traitorous scum bags who hire them deserve to have bad things happen to them.
Everyone who enables, supports or employs illegal aliens should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Those young Hard working Illegals are costing American Tax payers on the Average 20K per year that should be spend on American Citizens or not taxed in the first place! If American Tax payers would quit Supporting them and businesses quit hiring them they would fix the problems in their Countries. As long as we allow other Nation to export their Criminals and poverty here and tax payers provide them Welfare so they can send money back to the home countries they would be fools to not do so! But, we are worse than fools for allowing them to take advantage of us and this Nation!
No, wrong again. Gracias por los gentes buenos who DO employ the hard-working undocumented workers you are advocating running out of their adopted country.
The slowdown American economy NEEDS these people. Necesita muchos mexicanos y chicanos.
Stop deleting my posts, Greg. it is clear that you fears the sanity and la verdad, the truth!, of UnMasMexican.
We are winning in PWC. You WILL accept us as the vibrant peaceful part of the community we are.
I and my friends am spreading the word that the resolution has been defeated and the PWC cannot bully us under your racist platform because tu no has dinero….you can’t afford your own racist resolution. Youa re the joke of the DC area.
VIVA LA RAZA EN PWC SIEMPRE!
UnMas I will accept Latino people as I would any other, but to my dying breath I’ll never accept lawbreakers and people who came here illegally. Even if those people somehow get amnesty, I won’t accept them.
This whole phenomenon is all about wealth transfer to the wealthy. The illegals are coddled because the current scam is the taxpayers subsidize their health care and schooling for their kids, while employers benefit from paying them cheaper wages. Take teh taxpayer’s contributuion to their own demise out of the equation, and the labor is not so cheap. It makes me sick. I’ll never forget and never forgive the lack of integrity our so-called representatives have shown.
Siesta time, UnaMas.
Those same hard working Illegal Aliens that many feel sorry would be Robbing, raping or killing an Illegal American in Mexico, if the people did not get you the Government would! This country needs to creak down on Law Breakers and Illegal Aliens like Mexico does. Mexico does a much better job protecting there Citizens than our Corrupt Politicians do.
Does any of the open Borders crowd know the different s between Illegal Immigration & Legal Immigration? Also if it is ok to be invaded from the South then it should be ok to be invaded from any Nation or race in the world. There are 100,s of millions probably billions from Africa, India, China, etc. that would like the same right as Latinos to Invade this Nation, have the tax payers pay their Medical bills, Educate their Children in their own language while they break numerous laws and Rape, Rob, Kill thousands of Citizens every year.
Lets adopt Mexico Immigration Laws!
MEXICO,S Immigration LAWS!
Mind you, this is the law of the land in Mexico, the third-world nation that has encouraged millions of it’s citizens to invade America.
It is also the same country that threatened to take the U.S. to the UN for building a fence on American soil!
Mexico’s Immigration Law:
Let’s Try It Here at Home
Reference:
http://www.citizensforaconstitutionalrepublic.com/waller5-8-06.html#top
By J. Michael Waller
Mexico has a radical idea for a rational immigration policy that most Americans would love. However, Mexican officials haven’t been sharing that idea with us as they press for our Congress to adopt the McCain-Kennedy immigration reform bill.
That’s too bad, because Mexico, which annually deports more illegal aliens than the United States does, has much to teach us about how it handles the immigration issue. Under Mexican law, it is a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.
At a time when the Supreme Court and many politicians seek to bring American law in line with foreign legal norms, it’s noteworthy that nobody has argued that the U.S. look at how Mexico deals with immigration and what it might teach us about how best to solve
our illegal immigration problem. Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are:
* in the country legally;
* have the means to sustain themselves economically;
* not destined to be burdens on society;
* of economic and social benefit to society;
* of good character and have no criminal records; and
* contributors to the general well-being of the nation.
The law also ensures that:
* immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;
* foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;
* foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics;
* foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;
* foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;
* those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.
Who could disagree with such a law? It makes perfect sense. The Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens — and the denial of many fundamental rights to non-citizens, illegal and illegal. Under the constitution, the Ley General de Población, or
General Law on Population, spells out specifically the country’s immigration policy.
It is an interesting law — and one that should cause us all to ask, Why is our great southern neighbor pushing us to water down our own immigration laws and policies, when its own immigration restrictions are the toughest on the continent? If a felony is a
crime punishable by more than one year in prison, then Mexican law makes it a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.
If the United States adopted such statutes, Mexico no doubt would denounce it as a manifestation of American racism and bigotry.
We looked at the immigration provisions of the Mexican constitution. [1] Now let’s look at Mexico’s main immigration law.
Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:
* Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)
* Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents. (Article 34)
* Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” when foreigners are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)
* The Secretary of Governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)
Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country:
* Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)
* A National Population Registry keeps track of “every single individual who comprises the population of the country,” and verifies each individual’s identity. (Articles 85 and 86)
* A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).
Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:
* Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)
* Foreigners who sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116)
Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:
* Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)
* Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)
* Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico — such as working without a permit — can also be imprisoned.
Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says,
* “A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)
* Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)
* Foreigners who “attempt against national sovereignty or security” will be deported. (Article 126)
Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:
* A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)
* Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)
All of the above runs contrary to what Mexican leaders are demanding of the United States. The stark contrast between Mexico’s immigration practices versus its American immigration preachings is telling. It gives a clear picture of the Mexican government’s agenda: to have a one-way immigration relationship with the United States.
Let’s call Mexico’s bluff on its unwarranted interference in U.S. immigration policy. Let’s propose, just to make a point, that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) member nations standardize their immigration laws by using Mexico’s own law as a model.
Bl,

That is a great idea. Let’s seal the border and apply Mexico’s rules.
No Illegals!
No Compromise!
No Amnesty!
