Its amazing how much the federal goverment can do when it wants to,looks like they are starting to feel the heat from the the american people.

DALLAS (AP) - Federal agents arrested 274 illegal immigrants over five days during raids in Dallas, Fort Worth and surrounding suburbs, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Friday.

The operation, which began Monday and ended Friday, yielded illegal immigrants, people wanted by immigration authorities and immigrants with criminal records. Out of the 274 arrested, 99 had criminal convictions, ICE said.

"These operations are a critical element in removing threats to public safety," said Nuria T. Prendes, field office director for ICE's Office of Detention and Removal Operations.

Police in Dallas, Irving, Fort Worth, Arlington, Farmers Branch, Carrollton and Blue Mound along with the Dallas County constable, helped agents in the operation, according to an ICE statement.

Authorities detained people from Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nigeria, Romania and South Korea. Most were men, according to ICE.

Half of the 274 arrested have already been returned to Mexico, and the others were awaiting deportation proceedings, ICE said.

The Criminal Factor: Illegal immigrants are a great danger to America. They are all lawbreakers by virtue of entering America illegally, and when they arrive, a significant number continue to break laws; they steal, rape, murder, form and join gangs, sell drugs, and engage in illegal weapons trade. In 2002, illegals cost the federal prison and court systems $1.6 billion. That doesn't include costs incurred by individual states. The state of Arizona spends $80 million each year incarcerating illegals. "In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500) target illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) are for illegal aliens." - City Journal's Heather Mac DonaldThe Social Services Factor: Illegals are not American citizens, and yet they sap social services and cost hospitals billions of dollars in unpaid-for health care. In 2002 illegals cost the federal government $2.5 billion in Medicaid, $1.9 billion in food assistance programs, and $2.2 billion in treatment for the uninsured. States near the border suffer the biggest burden. For instance, illegal immigrants' health care costs Arizona alone about $400 million each year. California takes an even bigger hit. "California's addiction to 'cheap' illegal-alien labor is bankrupting the state and posing enormous burdens on the state's shrinking middle-class tax base," -FAIR President Dan Stein.
The Disease Factor: Not only are illegal aliens bankrupting hospitals on the U.S. border, they are bringing diseases into the country, including drug-resistant-tuberculosis, leprosy, hepatitis A, and Chagas Disease, an organ-attacking parasite imported from South America.

The Education Factor: The children of illegal aliens cost federal and state government billions each year. These students cost more to teach than other children because many speak only Spanish or other foreign languages, and school systems have to deal with their cultural and language gaps while trying to teach them reading and long division. Immigrants cause overcrowded classes and suck funding that could be going toward helping American kids. California spends $8 billion per year trying to educate the children of illegal immigrants.

The Terrorism Factor: We can only guess how many of America's enemies are in the U.S. illegally. Stopping up our porous borders is vital for our nation's security.

Granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants would be a travesty. It would demonstrate that illegal activity can encourage the American government to change its policies, and it would be a slap in the face to those immigrants who have worked hard to become American citizens by the established legal route.
