The ICE raids aren’t just wrong – they’re expensive


The ICE raids aren’t just wrong – they’re expensive

Does it make sense to spend $50,000 locking up someone for supporting her family?

This week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided seven Mississippi food processing plants and arrested 680 workers for immigration violations. The moral cost of these raids to our shared humanity is apparent in stories like that of a tearful 13-year-old boy waving goodbye to his mother or an 11-year old girl pleading for her father’s release. But some people might feel differently, believing such scenes are just the cost of enforcing our immigration laws. If that’s you, I urge you to weigh another cost instead: the sheer financial expense of such cruelty.

First, there’s lost income. ICE was created in 2003 to “protect national security and public safety after 9/11,” but this week’s raids were not about security or safety or terrorism. They targeted immigrants while they worked to support their families and our economy. Many of the arrested individuals now leave behind jobs that won’t be filled and children and spouses who now live without a family member and their associated income. Their communities and local businesses will suffer down the line. And state and local governments will lose the associated tax revenues; undocumented workers pay an estimated $12 billion a year in taxes.

Then there are the costs of enforcement and detention. ICE Acting Director Matt Albence admitted that the raids required a yearlong investigation and 600 agents to execute. The 680 arrested individuals now languish in detention facilities. According to ICE, the average daily cost of detaining one person is $134. Some estimates place the cost at closer to $200 per day. Given this administration’s immigration policies, from family separation to zero tolerance to mass raids, the number of immigrants in detention is rapidly expanding, not retracting. For every person who leaves detention, another replaces them, if not two. Even using ICE’s conservative figure of $134, the cost of keeping one immigrant in detention is almost $50,000 per year. The detention expense alone for the group detained on Wednesday is approximately $100,000 a day, $3 million per month, and $36 million a year. Given that more raids are coming, these costs are only going to go up.

They committed a misdemeanor. You don't lock up jaywalkers. Their children are going into foster care - that costs over a thousand dollars per month, per child, for the rest of their childhood. ICE incarceration costs $700 per day, per person.

This is just another way for Trump to separate families and terrorize children since court orders won't allow him to do this to refugees.


If they're working using false or stolen documents, that's a felony. Stop trying to minimize their criminal activity.

.

It's a felony either way for the employer.


And? You act like they are never prosecuted, you'd be wrong.

.
 
Every human being is precious and priceless and deserves our respect, at least!
Exactly, they should be respectfully put in a holding cage, processed, and then respectfully bussed by the millions back to Squatemala.

I'm all for flying them back and kicking em out of the plane at ten thousand feet....with ten % of the parachutes being dirty laundry.
Lets see how many want to play the illegal immigration lottery after that.
Right wingers only allege to care about natural rights in abortion threads.

You dont know my stance on abortion obviously.
 
And yet, not a single employer charged with anything yet. Let the excuses for that to begin.


Yet. They have to gather evidence before charges, proving they are hiring illegals is just one of the steps in the investigation.

.

Not a single employer has been charged under the Trump administration. It isn't because they can not.


Perhaps you should do some research before telling such a obvious lie.

I heard its own by Chinese Americans from California.

I can't speak for the rest of these dudes, but in addition to sending the illegals home I agree that the people that employ them should be penalized. They know they're hiring illegals and the illegals won't stop trying to come here as long as employment is available. This is a problem that must be tackled from more than one angle.

Everyone says they support going after the employers but they keep on voting people people who will not.

They would be returning to where they came from in less than a week if it wasn't for all the leftwing obstructionist judges who are doing everything possible to stop Trump from enforcing out immigration laws. The costs you speak of were created by douchebags like you who support illegal immigration.

You mean they would be if not for our Constitution.

Yeah, the article is condemning the Trump administration over it's lack of prosecutions.

How could ICE raid in the first place, unless they had evidence of undocumented workers there?


According to reports the companies had been under investigation for as long as a year. When you go after big companies you have to get your ducks in a row.

So far they have done nothing to the company. They even returned many of their employee's to them.

Lol
Yep,
Illegal aliens are illegal aliens… They have no fucking right to be here and should be treated like the pieces of shit they are… Kids or no kids

Just because they are here illegally they are piece of shit?
Are you even a human being?
Did your cult leader teach you that?

The only person to serve prison time because of the raid, former Agriprocessors CEO Sholom Rubashkin, had his sentence commuted last year by Trump.

Looks like they had no problem convicting for hiring illegals, Trump just doesnt want to prosecute.
