American Man

its kind of like catch and release fishing.... more of them get away than are ever caught and released and even those released keep coming back for more.

Have said it before.,the border of Texas to California should be mined..if they are stupid enough to try to make it..so be it..would surely stop border crossings which is illegal..billions of $'s spent on the problem to keep stupid illegals out which hasn't worked..is causing a hell of a problem for US Citizens...

Caught Crossing
Each year the Border Patrol apprehends more than 1 million aliens as they attempt to cross the border into the U.S from either Canada or Mexico, according to officials.

Normally, illegal immigrants caught by the Border Patrol are eligible for â€œvoluntary departure,â€ which means they are put on a bus once they pass a criminal background check and returned to Mexico without charges.

When an area sees a steep increase or excessive illegal immigration problems, however, the Border Patrol sets up a designated â€œno toleranceâ€ zone. Illegal immigrants caught there can be sent to federal court for misdemeanor charges of entry without inspection and then face a trial and deportation. They could face felony charges and jail time if they are caught trying to cross a second time.

The maximum penalty is six months in jail and removal from the U.S. Those convicted are then barred from legal reentry for five years and 20 years for a second removal.

Officials credited no tolerance zones in Yuma, Ariz., and Laredo, Texas, for dropping the total number of apprehensions 60-70 percent in each city last year.

El Paso, too, experienced a precipitous decline in apprehensions in the last three years â€“ from 122,245 (2006) to 75,464 (2007) to 30,312 (2008) â€“ thanks to no tolerance zones and better training for agents, said El Paso Border Patrol spokesperson Jose Romero.

â€œWe do currently have zero tolerance zones throughout El Paso in which anyone caught crossing illegally into the United States will be formally removed from this country and be seen by an immigration judge,â€ he said.

Ramos said the Border Patrol does not keep track of return rates for illegal immigrants or seasonal shifts in immigration patterns.

Border Patrol agents must adhere to a number of rules, a protocol, upon catching someone illegally crossing into the country.

Most are transported by vehicles to a processing center for identification and classification. There they are read their rights, which are similar to the Miranda rights read to U.S. citizens.

They are notified of their right to an attorney, to remain silent and are asked if they understand their rights as explained, Ramos said.

When detaining an alleged illegal immigrant onsite, Border Patrol agents are limited in what they can do, he added.

First, agents search immigrants for weapons or contraband and determine any need for medical assistance.

Next, agents conduct field questioning about the detaineeâ€™s citizenship and/or right to enter or stay in the country, determine immigrant status, provide them with their rights and then take them into custody.

Caught Living
Workplace investigations are a main source of apprehensions when it comes to illegal immigrants already living and working in the United States, says ICE public affairs officer Leticia Zamarripa.

â€œICE special agents encounter illegal aliens in the course of their investigations and enforcement actions, such as worksite enforcement operations,â€ she said. â€œICE Fugitive Operations Team members also remove illegal aliens who have either opted not to attend their hearings before an immigration judge, or those who have received a final order of removal and have ignored it and remain in the country.â€

At that point, she said some illegal aliens are housed at ICE detention centers or detention facilities that contract with the government to house illegal aliens while others receive notices to appear at a later date in immigration court.

(When this reporter asked if housing illegal immigrants together in detention centers hurts immigration efforts, since detainees might be able to network and trade ideas, ICEâ€™s public information office replied â€œno.â€)

Whether an immigrant will be sent to a detention center or asked to appear later is determined on a case-by-case basis, according to ICE, and the agency must follow similar protocol to the Border Patrol in providing illegal immigrants with their rights.

The overall processing time of an illegal immigrant also varies widely on a case-by-case basis â€œThere are several factors involved,â€ she said. â€œMany illegal aliens fight deportation, and that lengthens the removal process. Still others receive their final orders of removal, but remain in detention until their countries of origin issue them travel documents.â€

If the country is Mexico, the illegal immigrant is eventually released to Mexican immigration authorities on the other side of the border, where they are most often released back into the general populace.

If an illegal immigrant has committed a crime in the U.S., then the process is similar, but that immigrant could face a trial and longer jail time before being eventually deported.

well they do get figerprinted and get information from them i may guess and than they send them back to their original countries,

Pedro

really nothing happens, they collect figerprints and a name with basic info which is probably lies. states and govt agencies dont have the funds to support deportation or imprisonment. they get vanned back to mexican border patrol and you can guess what happens from there.

the ones that get the most heat are the coyotes but even that is rare.

they would deport them back after holding them/ questioning them. which you would have to pay for, if you cant pay for it then i think you would do a short prison sentance until the funds show up.

atleast that is what happens for europeans who illegally go to the states.

im thinking it might be either better or worse, cause i hear the mexicans are the britains polish!!! millions of them show up!!

Usually, they just send them back after holding them for a time. But the illegals just come back and surface somewhere else. I do believe that if they are caught a number of times, they can send them to prison.

They just take them back to Mexico.
There is no laws in Mexico that prevent a Mexican citizen from leaving Mexico. As long as a Mexican citizen has crossed the border back into Mexico, he has broken no law.
