"Anything but Secure" Reaction paper

             In the article “Anything but Secure” by Premilla Nada Sen.,  speaks about the ICE new policy change stating that any immigrant charged with minor traffic violation would not be flagged for deportation unless they are convicted.  In New Orleans Delmy Palencia an undocumented immigrant with a 3 month old infant was held 45 days in the districts attorney’s office because she decided to lock out her domestic partner out of the house. Even thought the charges were dropped and she was held with a 48 hour immigration hold. This was after thrown out because of failure of (ice) following procedures. The 15 days later taken by (ice) and ordered to leave the country within the next six months. This case clearly shows the impact of laws that affect women and families. Since 2008 226,000 undocumented immigrants have been deported because of police officers crossed checked system, with the immigration database. What was once designed to deport those with serious criminal records has now overlooked the situation and has been deporting immigrants with minor infractions.

               I believe that this article  not only pertain to women but it also pertains to a whole population of men women and  children who are undocumented immigrants many of these people come to the us  to work  to support their families just like Palencia. But what ends up happening is that their scare to death and live hidden because their scare of deportation if an undocumented immigrant needed protection him or she can’t even go to the police station  they must live in silence  if they want to remain where they live now.
