WPCNR MR. & MRS. & MS. White Plains Poll. October 29, 2007: With the town of Suffern recently signing an aggreement with the Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE), to aid Suffern police in identifying repeat felons as illegal aliens, the first avenue of training ICE is expected to furnish the Suffern police, it raises the question whether or not the experise of ICE could be brought to bare on the reported chronic problem of illegal aliens being housed in unsafe conditions, and sending their children to local schools. A press spokesperson for ICE told WPCNR that ICE could supply resources to police departments to investigate illegal housing ownership and chronic housing of illegals if cities wanted ICE help in the matter. The spokespersons also said the agency (ICE) stood by to probe illegal sponsorships of non-citizens who in exchange for housing would be employed in local businesses around the county. ICE recently began prosecution of a Minnesota businessman for engineering a national network of illegal citizens employed in well-known national chains.
Should Westchester County and White Plains bring ICE in on the illegal housing problem, the employment of illegal citizens in its businesses, and in prosecution of alleged gang leadership and membership by illegal residents? What does Mr. and Mrs. and Ms. White Plains think?
