Bill Montgomery's Smoking Gun: ICE PowerPoint Shows Monty's Minions How to Deport More Immigrants

Bill Montgomery, Senator John McCain, and Sheriff Joe Arpaio are the "new" american wests heroes. They enforce the laws of Arizona as the lawmen of the "old" west did. We are proud to support them. And we laugh at the demented, crazy fools who support the criminals. Like motherjones, who cannot argue without using vulgar language to replace her lack of facts. To her "intellect" is a word that goes along with words like unicorn, elves, and goblins, and DNichols, who makes up his "facts" in an attempt to impress anyone, without at least looking at the "real" facts. There is nothing wrong with legal immigration, and if obama wants to give amnesty to illegals, after screening them, make them learn  english, and making them pay. That is his choice. We will still be deporting them, those that do not meet his standards. And it will be done by those i've mentioned. 

A defendant charged with a violent, non-bailable offense has little incentive to plead guilty early on, because this simply guarantees a prison sentence.  Contrast this with the case of a landscaper held without bail on a charge of forgery or fraud for using false documents to obtain employment.  This individual may well have been of otherwise law-abiding habits, keeping a low profile to be able to continue working to support his family.  He has probably never spent a day of jail in his life and is shocked by the conditions, and the shock is all the greater in a foreign country.  He may not speak English fluently or at all and is given highly limited access to legal counsel and neutral interpreters, and those he does meet explain that his shaky legal standing makes a victory in court unlikely.

The days pass and hope wanes.  However, he is given to understand that he can avoid months of jail time (unconvicted but held without bail) simply by signing a piece of paper which relinquishes his legal right to due process, after which he will be released with time served and deported to freedom in his homeland.  Little wonder that so many yield, each one another notch in the public prosecutor's gunbelt.

The "Real Smoking Gun."

This is America's Darkest Hour.

Since the start of the January 2008 I.C.E. Deportation/Incarceration Programs:

Over One Hundred non=criminal un-documented Immigrants have Died in U.S. Custody.

Over Thirteen Thousand non-criminal un-documented Immigrants have been Incarcerated for years with out even charges.

Over Five THousand Legal Citizen Children are now in U.S. Foster Care after having thier Parents Deported, or Incarcerated away from them.

Over Forty-two Thousand Hispanic Human Beings now lay DEAD at the harsh U.S. Mexico Border where I.C.E. has Deported/Dumped Hundreds of Thousands into a known "Drug War" with nothing, not even water, to be Killed, or to Die of Exposure in the Harsh Desert.

Of the Thousands of Deported Dead at the I.C.E. Dumping Grounds, John McCain said "They get involved with the Drug Cartels".

No McCain, when you Dump Humans in the Desert with out even water, They Die!

America was Built on Far Better Principles and Values than this!

We must not allow this Holocaust to continue!

Several Arizona Racist Politicians have had ties to Supremacist Groups, like Neo-Nazi's, and have been photograghed with them.

(Russell Pearce, Joe Arpaio, John McCain, ect.)

"America is great because it is good, when it ceases to be good, it ceases to be great."

Alex De Tocqueville  (A very wise 1840's French Historian.)

January 2008 began the E-verify Law, the Hitleresque I.C.E. Deportation/Incarceration Programs which have ripped apart Thousands of good Christian Family units consisting of both un-documented Immigrants and Legal Citizen Children/Family Members.

Since January 2008 Our Nation has Plummeted!  (Economically, and Morally.)

This Triggered the "Foreclosure Crisis", the "Great Recession",the many "Bail Out Programs",  and our "New Ballooning National Deficit", all of which began January 2008?!!

All of the Bail Outs, Mortgage Programs, Cash for Clunkers ect. have occured since the start of the January 2008 I.C.E. Programs, and have only been "Treating the Symtoms" of the Deportation/Incarceration Damage done to our Country. Fact is; The Hard Labor gladly done by Immigrants for America was the very Foundation of our Strong Economy!

Fact: The twenty-five year period prior to the January 2008 I.C.E. Programs was "The Most Prosperous Time in Total U.S. History."  (We all worked Hard together for America.)

This is our I.C.E.'d Economy, and it was I.C.E. that put the Car in the Ditch!

To: Good, and Brotherhood, from Sea to shining Sea.

blah, blah, blah. microsoft product. illegal mexicans get deported. all sounds great.

As a public prosecutor, Montgomery combines the characteristics of bureaucrats, politicians, and lawyers.  The primary characteristic of a bureaucrat is to demonstrate efficacy by means of a performance metric, in this case the number of successful prosecutions.  The primary characteristic of a politician is the desire to please the constituents who elected him, as well as the political bosses (e.g., state governor, county sheriff) whose approval not only influences constituents but on whom his power-sharing arrangement depends in day to day practice.  The primary characteristic of a lawyer is technical manipulation of the law to arrange outcomes in his favor.

There can be little easier than prosecutions that involve non-bailable defendents who are easily coerced into pleading guilty.  The defendents are unpopular among both a large segment of the public and in the legislative and executive branches.  Little wonder that Montgomery contrives legalisms to that end.

ICE's previously announced shift of focus in deportation proceedings, from the low-hanging fruit to criminal aliens, seems to have reverted: the president's new policy has been relegated to political theater.  From the USA Today story you linked to:

         The push came after senior ICE officials in Washington warned its regional enforcement chiefs that criminal deportations had fallen from the year before and instructed them to get the numbers back up. "The only performance measure that will count this fiscal year is the criminal alien removal target," David Venturella, who then supervised ICE's field offices, said in April in an e-mail to agents in Atlanta.

In practice, this involves an elastic definition of "criminal aliens" which can be applied as broadly as possible.  "Round 'em up" is an institutional habit that took root over years under the guidance of career bureaucrats and managers, and reflected the attitudes and values of many field agents.  It won't be changed from the top without ongoing top-down supervision.  An executive memo or two without diligent follow up will be viewed as a speed bump to be circumnavigated by means of creative interpretation and selective application, and won't permanently alter institutional culture.
