Illegal aliens in jail, then what?

In jails across the United States, seldom a day goes by without law enforcement arresting illegal aliens. It's what they do after they have them in jail that can make the difference for Americans. Are they simply released, or are the Feds notified, are the prisoners then deported?

Seldom a week goes by without Rock County Jail authorities finding an illegal alien in the prisoner population. Jail Administrator Tom Gehl says they actively look for illegals. He says records are reviewed on prisoners with suspicious personal identification. He says the federal authorities are notified and typically pick up the prisoner after they serve their time in Rock County.

Do any of our officials remember that "Illegal Immigration is a Crime?"

Under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who:

* Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or
* Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or
* Attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact;

has committed a federal crime.

Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison. Additional civil fines may be imposed at the discretion of immigration judges, but civil fines do not negate the criminal sanctions or nature of the offense.
