Kudos to Sheriff Bolanos for keeping our homes, streets and communities safe by working with ICE to deport convicted criminal illegal aliens (“San Mateo County officials review ICE cooperation” from the Oct. 25 issue of the Daily Journal). According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, more than 65% of California criminals recidivate, that is, they commit more crimes and create more victims once they’re back the street from jail. By working with ICE to make sure that convicted criminal illegal aliens are returned to their countries of origin, Sheriff Bolanos is helping keep our crime rate low.
It doesn’t matter where the criminals are from — Chad or China, Poland or Paraguay — protecting them from lawful deportation simply makes for more potential victims of crime here at home. I’m glad our sheriff is helping keep our crime rate low, rather than sitting back and watching it skyrocket like those in other urban counties across the state.
This action by the Sheriff's Office, within the framework of Senate Bill 54, is one of the ingredients why San Mateo County is one of the safest counties in the state to live in.
May I suggest the advocates for the undocumented community share the following with their clientele;
SINCE you are in this country illegally in violation of federal law. ... IF you are convicted of a crime, you could be deported back to your home country. … BEING deported will cause “havoc” in your family and separation from your loved ones. … DON'T commit a crime. The ramifications are to costly for you and your family.
P.S.. For those who do commit a crime, let's not forget the “havoc” you caused your victim(s) and their families.
