Can I Be Deported?
Immigration officers come to a home at a time when they suspect the illegal alien will be there. For example, a case in Miami of a Colombian illegal found officers knocking at her door at 6 AM. Yes, they can come at any hour - if you have a deportation order, or are suspected of some crime. In America, you will NOT find people stopping you or knocking on your door without cause.
The Colombian woman had deportation papers already filed against her. The Immigration officers were simply doing their job to detain her and send her back to Colombia. However, she never opened the door, and immediately went into hiding with her husband and two children. There are more than 500,000 illegals hiding who are in the deportation process. So why couldn't the officers simply bust in and catch her?
Again, they can't, but even so it is difficult keeping up with so many illegals set for deportation. Since the Senate immigration bill did not go through - the bill that would have given assistance to millions of undocumented immigrants to get their Green Cards, and given a shot in the arm for enforcement - some $4.4 billion was on the slate, immigration rights advocates claim raids are going to skyrocket.
Homeland Security and police will head this up, they say, but the numbers show that there is probably little risk of getting deported. There were 17,817 deported in 2006. There are 632,190 fugitives of the deportation system identified. This doesn't take into account the thousands of others that are deported by immigration judges. This is simply the number for those already tagged as deportable. Which means - it would take over 20 years at the current enforcement for the 600 thousand to be sent home.
The proceedings take too long, say some, and there aren't enough officers to work the task. The way it is wired today, it's impossible. And some have criminal records here. So deporting them would be difficult.
So can you be deported? The answer is YES, if you are here illegally. And reentry into the United States is next to impossible via any normal gateway where a passport and visa are required.
The Miami office is getting better at deporting. Over 35,000 cases have been resolved recently. With the new Fugitive Operations Support Center in Burlington, Vermont, more leads with better ways to track them have come in. Since February in Miami-Dade alone, 53 teams have been assigned to track down deportation-ordered fugitives and there are more teams to come.
