isn't a very nice place decades after the author moved with his family to Los Angeles.But Waukegan, a lakefront town 50 miles north of Chicago, may get a little less dangerous. From the Chicago Sun-Times:
"So far we've picked up 55 across Lake County and about 21 in Waukegan alone," said (Waukegan Police Chief Bill) Biang, who emphasized that the criminals are not exclusively illegal immigrants. "We're using ICE's assistance and authority to remove these gang members. Whether they are here legally or not, they are eligible for deportation."
ICE spokeswoman Gail Montenegro confirmed the initiative and said several similar operations, to arrest sex offenders or fugitives, for instance, have routinely been undertaken in Lake County.
But their countries of origin won't be glad to get these guys back.
One illegal immigrant, one with no street gang ties, is Elvira Arellano, the former West Side Chicago church denizen who was deported to Mexico after she used her Quasimodo sanctuary stunt to draw attention to the cause of open borders. Rather than performing the logical, but admittedly harder task of improving the robber-baron sociey of Mexico so fewer people feel compelled to illegally enter the United States from her homeland, Arellano wants to be appointed to the Mexican president to appoint her to the ambassadorship of the United States.
H/T to the Bullwinkle Blog for the Arellano story.
