"have been referring convicted felons to the ICE people for years." Convicted felons only? They have to commit a felony before anything is done? What about just being here illegally? ICE does nothing to illegals stopped for traffic violations or misdemeanors. Their response is, "get an address and we'll follow up". This comes from law enforcement officers on the street Mr. Gore.. They think ICE is a joke from what they tell me. ICE is another government bureaucracy created to give the appearance of doing something but is largely ineffective. Anyone found to be in this country ILLEGALLY should be deported NOW! The bleeding hearts are helping drain the life blood from this country and politicians are pandering to illegals for votes.
