The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is attempting to rebrand itself, but the PR campaign is being met with skepticism in Chicago. The Illinois Coalition for Immigration and Refugee Rights called the plan a "desperate response by a rogue agency that is destroying thousands of families a week to fix its image among immigrants" and said it amounted to nothing more than "trying to put lipstick on a very ugly pig."
The Chicago Tribune reported that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security -- which oversees ICE -- will unveil its "Community Outreach Program" in Chicago on Monday. The idea is to show communities that it is about more than just border patrol and enforcement.
But the program comes as immigrant advocates are fighting ICE's Secure Communities program, which is accused of overreaching into reluctant counties and using questionable tactics. The program was created to catch and deport dangerous criminals, but ICIRR found that 77 percent of all immigrants arrested through July of last year in the participating counties in Illinois had no past criminal convictions.
ICE has a long way to go before it can rebrand itself. In a press release responding to the Community Outreach Program, ICIRR said, "We urge the Department of Homeland Security to improve its relations with immigrant communities by obeying the wishes of President Obama and focusing its efforts on deporting immigrants who are an actual danger to our communities, rather than grandmothers, parents, and spouses who are only here to contribute with their hard work."

In school districts throughout America thousands of teachers have been receiving pink slips, because there is no money in the State treasuries to pay them; unless more taxes are extracted from the residents. This problem seems to be mostly centered in the larger cities, but wherever this grave situation is in effect, the outcome is the same? Unless the diverse State legislators can drag more taxes from the State residents, this situation will only get far worse. OUR SCHOOLS ARE FAILING BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE DIRECT INFLUENCE, OF CHILDREN THAT HAVE LIITLE COMPREHENSION OF ENGLISH, BUT UNDER FEDERAL LAW THEY MUST BE EDUCATED. But I see this issue in different light, which if the Public hadn't been royally skewered by the birthright citizenship law, this educating the world, would never have happened.
The law mishandled in the interpretation of the 14th amendment, billions of dollars would not be going to educating children of illegal immigrants. This is not to mention the hundreds of thousands of individuals smuggled monthly across borders or enter America illegally or by other means. The definitive point being that there would be no need for the extraordinary amount of Teachers desired to teach the children of illegal aliens if they were not here. That billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars would be saved. Any prudent persons, who has not been brainwashed by the Leftists, must comprehend that our clogged classrooms, a need for bilingual teachers that our nation has been silently invaded. True born Americans and permanent residents have endured the “Politically Correct” doctrine for too long. That it’s facilitated this country plummeting into an apathetic chaotic mess. Where in some States police cannot question you on your legal status?
Governor Brewer and State Senator Pierce are right now defending their State in the courts from the Communist aggressive nutcases in the ACLU, or liberal progressives masquerading as Democrats. The Sanctuary State of California is weighed down with illegal invaders, so the taxpayers should repudiate any more demands for even more teachers. The occupation of foreigners has not impeded by Washington DC, Sacramento, CA. Salt Lake City, UT, Denver CO or any States East, that has an acute shortage of teachers because of this fundamental issue. So until all the lax States start legislating policing laws, as implemented by Arizona, Alabama and others the illegal alien invasion will be endless. States like refuge-California, Nevada will be bombarded by illegal migrant refugees, where policing laws are not being enforced. Every time non-enforcement States demand more taxes, Americans should not sign onto this travesty.
CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS ESPECIALLY SHOULD STATE TO GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN, NO MORE TAXES TO HIRE MORE TEACHERS BECAUSE OF THE MASSIVE INFLUX OF CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL ALIENS.
It's all up to the hurting taxpayer, to say "Enough is enough" because otherwise legislators in particularly California, will keep bleeding you. Even now a committee in Sacramento eliminated new policing laws. Today Arizona will prosecute and deport illegal alien workers, if caught trespassing in that State. IT’S A SIMPLE ADMISSION THAT MILLIONS FROM OTHER HARD CORE POLICING STATES WILL POUR INTO UNRESTRICTED CALIFORNIA, NEVADA FURTHER NORTH AND OUTWARDS EAST. In person I have seen the overcrowded classrooms in California and the overwhelmed Teachers as my own son was confronted with this chaos. No wonder California schools have failed in performance, whereas twenty years ago they topped exemplary learning. With no backbone available the lawmakers have failed the American people, to build the REAL fences, embracing mandated policing laws of E-Verify, Secure Communities and the detainment law 287 G, playing into the hands of sullied business owners.
Only since the inception of the rising TEA PARTIES persona, have I thought we might have the prospect of ending this craziness, exploited by the Left, businesses and the open border zealots. Already the TEA PARTY is fighting the shadow government within the Democratic Party, to stop the out of control spending. Illegal Immigration is a pestilence that must be reduced and stopped; until its trickle; only allowing top notch skillful people to immigrate here. We have no money with two wars emanating from the Far East, and the uninhibited costs of educating the world’s poor that arrive here or having to pay for babies born here or free health care for all. The taxpayers can either keep on supporting this silent attack on this nation, or they outlaw illegal immigration and its long term ramifications. Since the economic illegal invaders started eating up some twenty years back, it’s remarkable that the general public hasn’t seen through paramount issue? Join NumbersUSA of any predominant pro-sovereignty organization and also prove your patriotism by becoming an activist member of a local TEA PARTY. They represent the taxpayers of the United States, not the-TAX AND SPEND Liberal extremists.
A bigger part of the problem is federal control and federal supplying of money.
Eliminate the federal Department of Education. Reduce the federal tax paid for this but increase that state and local tax paid for education. Let the state and local governments determine how much they want to spend on education. Why do we need the federal government to have so much control over a local issue?
Reduce the size of the federal government and eliminate its control over local issues.

The extra taxes are now becoming a burden for the people, jobless rates are high and Obama's popularity is falling. No good signs for the economy.
