02/29/2008: "Illegal immigrants taxing legal system"

U.S. immigration officials said they doubled the number of deportation proceedings as enforcement increases in the nation's courts, The Washington Post said.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are combing through court cases, criminal records, jails and courtrooms to identify immigrants eligible for deportation following age-old accusations that the matter went largely ignored.

Authorities involved in immigration law told the Post that, as a result, the legal community is overwhelmed with very minor offenses as illegal immigration becomes a matter of anxiety in the United States.

[ This article muddies the truth: immigrant crime (what do you expect from manual laborers who willingly leave their homelands) overwhelmed the legal system, so now they're trying to deport them before they can cause more crimes. ]
