Anaheim Should Widen Its INS Program

The Anaheim Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) program should be expanded. It’s a catastrophe that an INS agent is not screening arrestees 24 hours a day. Remember, authorities are not seeking out individuals who appear to be illegal. When a suspect is arrested, he is asked about his citizenship status. If he is in these United States illegally, then the deportation process commences. Anaheim’s message should be: If an illegal immigrant attempts to commit a crime in Anaheim, then he may be deported to his country of origin.
