U.S. Attorneys Set Limit on Illegal Alien Smuggling




Some U.S. Attorneys have established outlandish guidelines when it comes to the smuggling of illegal aliens and drugs.  A Sheriff from Cochise County, Arizona explained in a U.S. House Subcommittee the directives by those who supposedly protect and serve:

“There are policies in place that establish thresholds for quantities of drugs and numbers of illegal aliens before consideration for prosecution can be entertained,” Dever said in his written testimony before the Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security. “In at least one Federal District in Texas, if you are caught smuggling less than 750 kilos (1,653 pounds) of marijuana, you will not be subjected to prosecution.”


“If you are caught smuggling fewer than 6 illegal aliens, you will not be subject to prosecution,” Dever said. “And if you are a lone illegal border crosser, you get at least seven chances before you are even charged with a misdemeanor.”


“And after that, you get seven more chances before you are eligible for prosecution of a second offense felony,” Dever said.


The sheriff also said that even with added resources on the border, effective control can be hampered by “ideology.”


And isn’t it any wonder that we have an illegal alien invasion going on?  The coyotes and drug runners without a doubt know the criteria.  This is basically a license to do business.  There are times when I think I’m in a foreign country.  And with policies like this, it soon will be.
