I wrote my immediate elected officials this am. I am in Florida but you may be elsewhere so see fit to add, ignore or make any changes that effects you.
As my elected official I am requesting that on the FDLE sex offender website you request "Country of Origin" to be posted on each offenders Flyer. After much research on Florida's sex offender issues, I have become painfully aware that a disproportionate amount of Florida's sex offenders are "not" US citizens. The families in Florida are not interested in Skewed Immigration policies that may or may not effect deportation as to whether we have "formal relations with a certain country or not". What we are certain of is Florida is drowning in Offenders who by law should have been deported after serving their sentences,and not be released back out onto the streets of our state to only feed again. This is not an immigrant bashing effort. This is a grass-roots effort to make our elected officials at least cognizant to fact that as Taxpayers and Parents we are tired of suffering at the hands of those who should not be allowed to commit more crimes because of Politicians failure to take action in this area. We also feel adding "country of Origin" is paramount in maintaining a database to ensure whatever direction the issue of Amnesty or Pathways to citizenship may or may not take, it will be fully realized that these are not the types of citizens Florida will pay for or accomadate. I and many many others are awaiting your response or lack thereof to this request.Sincerely,
"Anyway, one of my mottos is, "You dont ask, You dont get"...Politicians love to jump on "Protecting the children Efforts" lets see how serious they are?

I had lunch with an unnamed city commissioner last week and the topic of the 2010 Census came up. I made mention that at a previous commission meeting, I was alarmed and dismayed at the praise awarded to city employees who were congratulated on their efforts to canvas certain areas of the city and ensure those who were not documented would have no fear of retaliation when participating in the upcoming census. The commissioner stated that she wanted to make sure that her city received Federal funds allotted to communities based on census guidelines. While I understood her immediate financial concerns for her city, I was bothered by the repercussions of the bigger issue and made no secret of it.
When illegal aliens are included in the census, states with large numbers of illegal immigrants are rewarded with additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and more votes in the Electoral College. Theoretically, a state could have a population consisting of 100 percent illegal aliens and it would still be allocated House seats based on its total population even though no one could legally vote. Some 70 percent of all immigrants have consistently tended to settle in six states: California, New York, Texas, Florida, New Jersey and Illinois.
I expressed to the commissioner that whatever Federal funds she had hoped to garner due to population numbers in her district would be more than offset due to the outlay of funds her city would have to expend on housing, education, crime and increase in police presence. I reminded the commissioner that her city is now home to one of the most violent gangs in the country and to further encourage the population (the undocumented Population) that anonymity would be a priority during the census is paramount to advertising itself as a sanctuary city. In the bigger picture, the grasp for funding reminds me of immediate gratification with little thought of long term ramifications. I found very little comfort in this type of mindset by an elected official, although I approve overall of this commissioners efforts and her accomplishments to date
It is made woefully apparent to me that throwing funding at a problem and hoping it will seek its own level is not working. Unchecked immigration and dismal deportation policies are eroding the quality of Life for Floridians and I for one am not going to stand back and say or do nothing. Its not fair for Floridians and its not fair to Legal seeking Immigrants who already at a disadvantage have to cope with a community running on threadbare services due to those who consistently take more than they give back.
Whats important to remember is we are and have already paid for Huge Government Agencies to enforce the laws concerning immigration in this country. Florida has more Law Enforcement Agencies on the public’s dole than most other states. My old adage “Liars can figure, Figures don’t lie” is very relevant that when you add up the billions of dollars thrown at Florida’s Law Enforcement each and every year, its amazing we have so much as a shoplifter in this state. Let alone one of the deadliest (undocumented) gangs in the country. I am not comfortable with the upcoming census and how its being used in the short term. The American Public shouldn't’t be either.
