Sheriff: 287(g) works

Conway says deportation plan easing jail crowding

LAWRENCEVILLE — Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway, the shepherd of 287 (g), says the fast-track deportation program is showing clear signs of success less than two months since its activation.

Conway shrugs off claims from immigrant rights activists who complain the program is racially motivated. He points instead to data that show 287 (g) is easing jail crowding and could save the county millions, while pulling law-breakers by the hundreds from streets and neighborhoods.

Here’s a breakdown by nationality of illegal alien suspects identified by Gwinnett’s 287 (g) program since its Nov. 16 activation:*
• Africa – 2
• Brazil – 1
• Colombia – 1
• Cuba – 3
• El Salvador – 21
• Guatemala – 24
• Honduras – 38
• India – 1
• Jamaica -1
• Mexico – 227
• Other* – 43
• Panama -1
• Philippines -1
• Unknown -1
• Virgin Islands -1

Conway credits 287 (g) with a dramatic decrease in bookings of illegal immigrants since its Nov. 16 debut. Such bookings — which he said can gum the system — dropped roughly 31 percent over the same timespan a year prior. The overall jail population has dipped to 2,400 — levels not seen since early 2007, Conway said.

“Even with the economy going down, we still saw an increase in foreign national book-ins every year,” he said. “Now they’re down tremendously.”

In the following conversation with staff writer Josh Green, the sheriff discusses community feedback and the attributes of 287 (g), while disputing claims that the program is xenophobic:

Josh Green: In its first six weeks, 287 (g) will be directly responsible for deporting 286 inmates. Is that number about what you had in mind beforehand?

Butch Conway: I actually thought the number would be higher. But our jail population numbers have gone down, much more so than I expected.

JG: You’ve seen a tangible impact in the jail already?

BC: Yes. That impact is from not booking as many foreign-born people.

JG: Is that more because word about the program has gotten out, or is it tied to some sort of exodus out of Gwinnett?

BC: That I don’t know. Obviously, fewer foreign nationals are being booked; that number’s substantially fewer. All I can see is that 287 (g) is responsible for those drops.

JG: How often is it that a suspect comes in without any shred of ID and no common language? Is this something you deal with commonly?

BC: Oh yeah.

JG: Then what?

BC: We have people who speak different languages working here, and they’ll try (to) translate.

JG: Is there any way to check that (suspects are) not flat-out lying to you about who they are?

BC: Yeah. Now we have biometric (tests). They can actually take a fingerprint and, within a few seconds, it’ll identify the person (in county, state and Homeland Security databases).

JG: Has the backlash to 287 (g) surprised you?

BC: Backlash?

JG: Backlash in terms of detractor groups being very audible about their displeasure.

BC: That’s kind of like a fly on a horse’s rump. I haven’t seen that to be a very substantial argument or number of people involved in it.

JG: One of their primary arguments is that 287 (g) promotes racial-profiling …

BC: That’s just a distraction.

JG: I’ve heard you call it “absolute bull.”

BC: If you look at Saul Alinsky’s teachings, that’s what they follow. The ACORN-type philosophy of finding an issue to detract from what you’re after and put the attention somewhere else. And also to make your opponents look racist, that’s part of it.

JG: One common argument is that 287 (g) unjustly rips apart families. How do you respond to that?

BC: That’s not anything within my purview. I’m just enforcing the law.

JG: As a whole, a county, what is Gwinnett’s opinion of 287 (g)?

BC: From what I’ve seen, everyone is strongly in favor of it. The media keeps calling it a controversial program. This is the least controversial issue I think I’ve had as sheriff. I think there are more people in favor of what I’m doing than anything I’ve done to date.

JG: Do you gather that from talking with people? Do you get letters cheering you on?

BC: Oh yeah. E-mails, and I look at blog postings. It’s obviously very favorable among the community.

JG: (Opponents) want legislation passed that would call for a greater accountability on the part of law enforcement. What they mean is that, when it comes to making vehicle stops, they want a reason documented and demographic information documented. Does that sound reasonable to you?

BC: That’s a horrible idea. It puts more on the officers, creates more paperwork, more bureaucracy. I think some people would find it offensive if they’re a passenger in a vehicle and an officer asks them what their race is. I would find that very offensive.

JG: How would you respond to the argument that police are concentrating on areas where people of a certain ethnicity might be?

BC: I think the police are concentrating on higher-crime areas. If that correlates, then that’s just a side issue. That’s not what (police) are there for.

JG: You’ve been in Gwinnett law enforcement (since 1973). It was a vastly different place back then, to say the least. Did you ever imagine it becoming so diverse?

BC: I never imagined Gwinnett with the population growth we’ve experienced. I came here from DeKalb County, where I grew up, and Gwinnett had a population of about 70,000 people. It’s changed somewhat.

JG: Changed in terms of size and diversity.

BC: Certainly. I think that’s a good thing. I welcome the diversity we have.

JG: What’s the value you see, personally, in a diverse county?

BC: Just the different cultures, the different restaurants you get to eat at. Different foods you get to try.

JG: Is deportation a be-all, end-all solution?

BC: It will lower the crime rate. Gwinnett will be safer with some of these people gone. Not to say that all illegal immigrants are bad people; we just shouldn’t have to deal with any of them. They shouldn’t be here. (With) this agency, the cost is probably $6 to $7 million a year that could be tied to illegal immigrants.

JG: If you were able to retain that money, any ideas where it would go?

BC: Probably in getting civil papers served quicker. Arrest warrants are backlogged. We’re inundated with failure to appear bench warrants. Up to this point, an illegal came in, either made bond immediately … or after 48 hours, if it was a misdemeanor, they were released on their own signature. A high number of those people failed to appear. Then we end up with arrest warrants, and having to try to track them down. That can be difficult in that community sometimes.

JG: How common are instances of illegal immigrant suspects being deported here and coming back?

BC: I really don’t know the answer to that. They certainly do come back sometimes, but that’s a felony offense when they’ve re-entered. The ones we’re getting deported now … I don’t think they’re coming back like they used to. Obviously, with the economy, the jobs aren’t here. Is it worth the trouble and expense to come right back? Probably not.

JG: I noticed some new 287 (g) signage (on jail property).

BC: We’re not trying to hide anything. I think the word’s out in the community that if they go to jail, there’s a good chance they’ll be deported. I’m not talking strictly Hispanics. We’ve gotten Caucasian illegals. They’re from countries all over the world.

Lawyers for Grady dialysis patients seek international stage

By Shelia M. Poole and Craig Schneider

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

4:30 p.m. Friday, January 8, 2010

An international human rights organization is reviewing whether Grady Memorial Hospital violated the rights of patients of its now-closed outpatients dialysis clinic.

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has asked the U.S. government to respond to accusations by the patients’ attorneys, who assert that the hospital violated the patients rights to life and well-being. The approximately 50 patients are virtually all poor illegal immigrants who paid nothing for their treatments.

The attorneys want the commission to advocate that the patients continue to receive treatment — at the hospital’s expense — beyond Grady’s Feb. 3 deadline to stop care.

The attorneys also want the patients to receive this care until their legal challenge works its way through the courts.

“We want to make this an international human rights issue,” said Lindsay Jones, an attorney who represents the patients. The commission, he said, has a “political stick.”

Grady closed the outpatient dialysis unit in October, citing financial stress. It has since provided treatments for the patients through a private clinic called Fresenius.

Grady has a contract with Fresenius for care until September, but the hospital wants the patients to find their own care before then.

Mario Williams, an advocate working with the patients, said Grady has a contractual obligation to provide the care through Sept. 1, or until the hospital formally ends its contract with Fresenius. The matter involves the U.S. government because Grady receives government funding and is overseen by The Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority, he said.

The commission has only begun its review. The body has no formal enforcement power in the U.S., but its involvement could move the case beyond the local courts.

“This is a good way of trying to bring some level of international pressure on the United States,” Dr. Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na’im, a professor at Emory University’s School of Law and an expert in human rights issues. “(The commission) can send delegations to investigate situations and it can generate publicity, which is helpful.”

The patients’ lawsuit against Grady Memorial Hospital Corp. was recently dismissed by a Fulton County Superior Court judge, but the plaintiffs have begun an appeals process to the state’s highest court.

Grady said it continues to do everything it can to help the illegal immigrants find long-term care.

“In return, we have been hit with multiple lawsuits, which have been dismissed, and now this complaint,” said Grady spokesman Matt Gove.

The Grady controversy raises larger issues regarding the role of safety net hospitals in providing care to illegal immigrants.

D.A. King, president of the Dustin Inman Society, a Cobb County-based group which opposes illegal immigration, said Grady has not violated the patients’ human rights.

“Nobody’s human rights are being violated by us enforcing our immigration laws,” he said. “Illegal aliens cost Americans a great deal of money through health care. … Can Grady be expected to care for anyone who escapes capture at our border, without end?”

Warrior against illegals lives, breathes the issue

By Carlos Campos, Atlanta Journal Constitution, March 27, 2006

Cobb man quit job to become full-time activist

Carlos Campos – Staff

Monday, March 27, 2006

CORRECTION: 03/29/06, Page A/02: An article in Monday’s Metro section about activist D.A. King should have said that The Dustin Inman Society is an anti-illegal immigration group. The organization is not opposed to legal immigration.

Whether on the streets or in the halls of the Georgia Capitol, fighting illegal immigration is a way of life for D.A. King.

The 53-year-old Cobb County man quit his job selling medical insurance three years ago to become a self-educated activist against illegal immigration. Dismissed as a fringe figure by critics, King has forced his way into an influential role in this year’s debate over a legislative crackdown on illegals.

King’s style is straightforward, even confrontational. At a rally in 2004 at which illegal immigrants protested in favor of being issued driver’s licenses, King — a 6-foot-2, 220-pound Marine Corps veteran — waded through the crowd holding up his own license, taunting demonstrators.

“You are criminals!” King shouted. “You cannot have my country!”

Critics say King uses angry rhetoric to stir up passions. One legislator asked King in a public meeting if he considered himself a supremacist.

But King’s allies see him as a smart, articulate and tireless warrior for their cause.

“D.A. probably knows more about this issue than any person in the Southeast,” said Sen. Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock), sponsor of the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act, which is nearing final passage in the Legislature. “He’s been a very helpful information source. And I’ve never had anything he’s given me turn out not to be true.”

King said he was drawn into the debate when a Mexican family moved across the street from his home in 1997. King said eventually, up to 20 people were living in the home and multiple cars and loud parties became commonplace. King called federal immigration authorities. He was shocked that federal officials ignored his complaints.

Sen. Sam Zamarripa (D-Atlanta), who has been criticized by King for supporting illegal immigrants, said he understands the frustration many Americans feel toward the issue.

“Ultimately, they’re discussing economics, costs, taxes, policy related to immigration,” Zamarripa said. “But that’s not what D.A. King discusses. D.A. King has a language system that bumps up against hostility, anger, and that’s a very dangerous way to approach a discussion that’s loaded with sensitivities.”

King has spent much of this year working in Capitol hallways and committee rooms advising Rogers on his proposal, Senate Bill 529. King also testified several times on the bill, which would deny many public benefits to illegal immigrants and require employers to verify that their workers are in the country legally if they want to claim them as a business tax deduction.

When King testified before the Senate Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee, Sen. Steen Miles (D-Decatur) asked if he considered himself a supremacist. King told Miles he simply wants the federal government to enforce its immigration laws.

“I don’t know the gentleman,” Miles said in an interview later. “But the information that I have read from his Web site … tends to point in that direction.”

King believes the federal government should secure its borders to make sure no one crosses into this country illegally. He believes federal authorities should conduct periodic raids of businesses that employ illegal immigrants. Those businesses should be punished, and the illegal immigrants should be deported in accordance with existing laws, he says.

Over time, King reasons, businesses will stop hiring illegal immigrants and the workers will realize there are no jobs in the United States.

King said he realizes there would be a dramatic impact on the economy if all illegal immigrants were deported immediately, so he advocates a slow deportation. He believes American companies would adjust and start paying competitive wages and hiring legal residents, even if it means increased costs.

Last year, King founded an anti-immigration group called the Dustin Inman Society, named for the 16-year-old son of a friend killed in a hit-and-run car crash involving an illegal immigrant.

“I commend him greatly,” said Billy Inman of Woodstock, Dustin’s father. “The problem overwhelmed him and really bothered him. He don’t want to see no other kids done this way. Or nobody. ‘Cause it’s not right.”

King writes regular columns posted on Web sites and published in the Marietta Daily Journal. King often writes about the fear of “Georgiafornia,” a takeoff of the anti-illegal immigration name for California, “Mexifornia.” After attending a rally in support of illegal immigrants, he wrote in one column, “My first act on a safe return home was to take a shower.”

King is a regular contributor to VDARE.com. The Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, a civil rights organization that tracks hate groups, has dubbed VDARE.com a “hate Web site,” and noted King’s activities in a report on anti-immigrant activity in Georgia.

In response, King said the center “ran out of … nutball Klanners to go after” but needed to keep donations flowing, so its founder “turned his head towards people who insist that our immigration laws be enforced and that our borders be secured.” King noted the center has been criticized by other human rights advocates for questionable fund-raising tactics.

Zamarripa said he believes King is a shadowy “agent.” A September report, put together by several organizations including the Zamarripa-chaired Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials, details associations between King and groups such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform, Center for Immigration Studies and American Patrol.

“These organizations are not white supremacists with the sort of old-fashioned Ku Klux Klan model,” Zamarripa said in an interview. “But these organizations walk a very fine line in getting close to organizations that, historically, I associate with intolerance and bigotry.”

King contends that charges of racism against him are a desperate act to silence people who are vocal about illegal immigration.

“I say that illegal immigration is wrong, it’s bad for my country and I try to stop it,” he said. “Here comes the only weapon that they can use. They cannot use the law, they cannot use any facts, they can’t back up their argument with anything other then their last line of defense, which is charges of some kind of un-Americanism.”

King regularly organizes rallies and has shown up at day labor sites where illegal immigrants wait for work; he takes pictures and asks the men if they are in the country legally. He has complained to companies that allow Spanish as a customer service option.

King acknowledges his aggressive style.

“That is by design. I try very hard to plainly say we have a problem, it will get worse, and here’s what it is,” King said. “I have watched people sit around the elephant in the living room and talk about the wallpaper.”

In 1977, King was convicted on federal gambling charges and sentenced to two years on probation and a fine, according to documents he provided to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. King said he had worked as a bookie in Alabama for more than two years and got caught in interstate betting on sports.

He said getting punished by the feds is not his motivation for urging the government to enforce immigration laws.

“I violated the law and I deserved to be punished and I was,” King said. “But my whole life I had been taught that I am no better or no worse than anyone else. And I cannot accept the fact that there are well-connected wealthy, campaign-donating people who are profiting from federal crime and are not being punished.”

King insists he’s “just a guy” who would rather be cooking, savoring his wine collection and enjoying the company of his wife of nearly 24 years, Sue.

The price of activism has been high, King said. He said he’s blown through his savings and his grandmother’s inheritance and maxed out eight credit cards. King said he’s not sure how he will make his mortgage payment in May.

Fighting illegal immigration was not part of his plan. He and his wife had planned to buy a home in Sarasota, Fla. Sue was supposed to stop working as a travel agent, and he was supposed to sell insurance part-time.

But the fight has, however, become what King believes is his duty.

“A lot of people are quite willing to sit and assume that somebody else is going to fix it. I never would’ve guessed that I was the somebody — in my wildest dreams.”

We get mail from California

Dear D.A. King and the Dustin Inman Society,

Congratulations to all of you who had really hard to get rid of the IDs thieves law breakers.

Those who are opposed to deportation of illegals are just getting rewarded by the same people they make believed are protecting by just making these crooks the new way of slavery, who are taking our citizens jobs with the lie we do not do that kind of jobs. B the way Obama’s agenda is to include the Mexican gangs to citizenship too. We just imagine what will happened when they get in with their machine guns on our neighborhoods and start shooting. Who will be held accountable for whatever they do to us citizens?
California had plenty of troubles with them, but the reporting was too limited, guess they don’t want informed the public what is happening, so we do not hold those accountable, for not doing the job they had been elected to performed.

Thanks for your great job!

The below is from Ms. Medina in Caliofornia when I sent her a note asking if she minded if I posted her note:

OK to post?
dak

Response:

Yes you can. I do not mind at all.

Am telling the truth, am fed up with all the pandering to illegal aliens, while we citizens are suffering the consequence. These people have more rights than we citizen.We have to pay our taxes rain or shine while illegal aliens are getting every social program freebies we have in our system without working for it. To them is OK to abuse the system and keep bringing their families and friends to do the same thing.

I had heard plenty of their boasting about how good our system is and how they are saving plenty of money, specially when they go for expensive treatment at the hospital for free.

Meantime if we do not have insurance, we can get no help in whatever be the case. My blood really boils up when I hear of the abuses going on. Believe it or not I heard if friends want to come here, are brought as relatives. It’s a real business, certain amount of money is paid, in order to be called in the family just to get in the country.

It’s incredible, these people are experts on our laws and know every trick in the books to explore them for their own benefits. They have instructions pamphlets how to avoid be taking to jail. It’s outrageous, they do not respect our laws, thanks to our elected members in Congress, who are not doing their job to enforce the laws of our country. Mexico’s Constitution is really very tough, no one is allowed to enter the country illegally, but if someone dare to do so and get caught, is put in jail and deported immediately.

Our country is the Only one who allows the illegal aliens invasion, a dangerous situation for our safety.

E-Verify now requires that the new hire’s photo from his I-551 or I-766 card be matched against the photo on file with DHS. The E-Verify system received a recent upgrade and the verification requires the photo match, where applicable.

This will do much to reduce document fraud, one of the naysayers’ main omplaints against E-Verify. Bad news for the anti-enforcement open borders nuts.

E-Verify announces new mailing address for photo tool case resolution

John Fay – December 8, 2009

E-Verify has announced a new address which must be used by employers when mailing photos to DHS for case resolution. The photo matching process in E-Verify occurs automatically when an employee presents a green card or employment authorization document. If the photo presented by the employee does not match the photo in E-Verify, employers are instructed to notify the employee, and if he/she contests, to send a copy of the photo document to DHS.

This can be accomplished in two ways: (1) the employer can scan and upload a copy of the photo document (file must be in GIF format and be no larger than 1.5 megabytes) or (2) send a copy of the photo along with the DHS referral letter to the following new address:

HERE

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
10 Fountain Plaza, 3rd Floor
Buffalo, NY 14202
Attn: Status Verification Office – Photo Tool

The E-Verify photo tool is currently available for both direct employers and designated agents (as of this month). The photo tool will also be made available to web services users who are using a third-party electronic I-9 and E-Verify system, although there has been no requirement or deadline imposed by DHS for those employers to utilize it yet.

IMPORTANT INFO FOR LEGISLATORS HERE

3.4 E-VERIFY PHOTO MATCHING Photo matching is an automatic part of the initial verification in E-Verify that prompts Designated Agents to compare an employee’s photo ID with a photo displayed on the E-Verify screen. This helps Designated Agents ensure that the documents provided are valid. The photo matching step occurs automatically when you perform a verification case for an employee that has presented a Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551) or an Employment Authorization Document (Form I-766) for their Form I-9 documentation. When the employee presents either of these two documents and the Form I-9 information entered by the employer matches DHS records, the employee’s photo automatically displays on the E-Verify screen. As a Designated Agent, you must obtain a copy of the employee’s document in order to match the photos. Designated Agents must work with their clients to determine the best method of obtaining a copy of the employee’s photo document. Page 27 of 76 | M-776,

E-Verify User Manual for Designated Agents| December 2009 www.dhs.gov/E-Verify

Matching photos is easy—simply compare the photo displayed by E-Verify to the photo on the employee’s document and determine if the photos are reasonably identical. This means that the photos should be identical, but you should take into account minor variances in shading and detail between the two photographs based upon the age and wear of the employee’s document, the quality of your computer monitor, and the watermark on the photo in E-Verify to protect it from unlawful use.
Designated Agents or their clients must not compare the photo displayed by E-Verify to the employee directly. The direct comparison between the document and the individual happens during Form I-9 completion, prior to E-Verify.

Yes: This means the photo on the employee’s document matches the photo displayed by E-Verify. Clothing, hair style, facing direction and appearance on the card should be identical to the photo displayed by E-Verify.
No: This means the photo on the employee’s document is not identical to the photo displayed by E-Verify, even if it looks like the same person.
After a selection is made, a case result will display one of the following:
EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZED, Section 3.5
DHS VERIFICATION IN PROCESS, Section 4.3
DHS TENTATIVE NONCONFIRMATION, Section 4.4
Reminder:
Employees always a of which acceptable documents to present Form I-9 * be of all Forms I-551 and I-766 by employees* will display in E-Verify the verification process* Only compare photo to photo* The photos in considered “match”REMINDERREMINDER
Each case result requires different actions or steps to continue or resolve the case. These actions are outlined in the case result section throughout this manual.
