Illegal Immigrant Children Have Grown Up To Do Adult Crime

Sheriff on Obama’s Dreamers: ‘Now they are adults committing serious felonies’

If the Obama administration doesn’t begin addressing its weak immigration policy, every county in the nation will soon be a “border county.”
That’s according to Sheriff Charles Jenkins of Frederick County, Md., who testified before Congress Tuesday about the immigration-related problems faced by U.S. communities situated far from the nation’s southern border.
“Open borders, reckless sanctuary policies, and failure to enforce our immigration laws have greatly impacted public safety and national security throughout every jurisdiction of this country,” he said. “Every single day, more Americans are becoming victims of senseless crimes, being injured and killed by criminal aliens, many are transnational gang members.”
Jenkins told the Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security that his community, situated just 40 miles from Washington D.C., has made great strides in clamping down on illegal immigration related crime with the help of DHS 287g program that allows local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws.
“We have very effectively built a wall around Frederick County, given the fact that most surrounding jurisdictions do nothing or very little to cooperate with ICE,” the sheriff said.
Unfortunately, Jenkins said, keeping immigration crime down is getting harder in his community because the Obama administration has done its best to hamper local police immigration enforcement efforts.
“Since 2008, this Administration has weakened immigration enforcement by dismissing deportation cases, rescinding 287g agreements, encouraging sanctuary policies, and watering down detainer policies…
“Case by case amnesty, back door amnesty, DACA programs, and the Dream Act were pushed through by executive order,” Jenkins said.
He that “aliens that should have been deported have been allowed to remain and commit more serious crimes” thanks to Obama’s actions.
The Maryland sheriff said another consequence of Obama immigration policies, specifically the Dream Act, is a huge increase in gang violence.
According to Jenkins, a remarkable 65 percent of the criminal alien gang members his department dealt with last year initially came to the U.S. as unaccompanied minors.
“Now they are adults committing serious felonies,” Jenkins said.
