"Ritmo": Inside the inhumane Texas detention center that should...

Oh please. What do you want Jodi Goodman, rooms at the Hilton? They've broken our laws.

More bitching and crying. Swear they make a hobby out of it. Sound we allow them to walk the streets? I think not.

"These immigrants -- the majority at "Ritmo" hail from El Salvador, torn apart by years of civil strife -- have committed no crime beyond seeking to enter America without paperwork, and yet the Willacy County facility is in many ways quite simply a prison, like Gitmo, stark and surrounded by barbed wire. Here's how "Tent City" was described by the American Civil Liberties Union:"

The price you pay for the crime that you have committed. They should have stayed home and worked to make their country better.

I hope none of you that feel people should be treated like dogs. Maybe if you travel to another country and get caught for speed, breaking the law you have the same justice.

Clueless, compair this place to any of those third world country places and see who gets the best treatment.

If they want luxurious accomodations, they picked the wrong country to sneak into. The joy ride is over and those here illegally would greatly benefit themself to just leave and leave now!

I'm proud to see Texas in another anti-criminal story. It seems that they know how to deal with criminals down there.

IT is so sad, to see that still in this century,
people enjoys knowing that other people are being
mistreaded, like in roman times. i just wonder
if all these persons are happy that all this cruelty is happening, if themselves live a cruel, suffering lives, and do not understand why all these immigrants cannot take it...read the articles of what have been happening "ritmo" and
then you can make a comment...nashiville is very
far from south of texas...start having compation..
if all of you that feel this way, that all of
the people men, women, children can take atrocious acts, unnecessary suffering, go stay
one night for an adventure in these camps and then
know some of these people that are not crimminals,
and if some are, God will take care of their
crimes, but not you!! HAVE A HEART, SPECIALLY NOW
THANKSGIVING AND X-MAS COMMING UP, AND LEARN SOME
HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY THEN WE CAN HEAR YOUR
OPINIONS. if they are there because the law put
them their, now let the law, take care of the
people that also do wrongdoing for their financial benefits... let the law, the judges
judge and find the thruth! Or maybe i am mistaken
this is what this county is all about....and all of you that condiders that is ok what is going on.. your parents, grandparents, or greatgrandparents where they INDIANS...OR CAME IN
A SHIP, FOR LIBERTY AND FAIRNESS FOR ALL.

It's people like you that aid and abet criminals and keep the crime rate high.

The US put more of their people in jail than any other country, but they cannot get their crime rate down. Maybe you are doing something wrong? Reading this forum, it seems that (almost) nobody really is bright enough to think of a solution to crime instead of calling for inhuman punishment. Good luck, fellas!

As long as they aren't being beat to death (as Mexico is know to do) I don't give a shit.
Actually I'm all for execution for border jumpers. That will stop this
invasion in it's tracks.

You are right Dutchman! What we are doing wrong is .........we are too easy on criminals.
And as for border jumpers our corrupt government officials look the other way to make big business happy (along with making their wallets happy)!!

When my granparents fled the Nazi's and came to America they came through a port and customs, They filed their paperwork and became productive citizens. Not much of a comparison to a border jumper identity thief.

Our problem is we're too lenient on lawbreakers.
We need to do more capital executions for other than murder crimes.

quit cryin'!

I have a solution. Skip the detention centers. When an illegal is caught put them in the INS van or what ever it is that is used to transport them and drive them into Mexico, or to an airport if they're from somewhere else, and deport them immediately.

If they want to contest it they can go to the American embassy and file for the necessary paperwork to show that they were here legally or that they were citizens and then since they hadn't done anything wrong we can pay to fly them back in, but that would be rare so we'd save more by not having to maintain detention facilities.

Our good Montgomery County, Maryland police team recommends the public to read the import article here: Howard "Skip" Cole was the first to receive the Homicide Detective Award from the Florida State's Attorney Office, 7th Judicial Circuit. He joined the Saint John's County Sheriff's Office 10 years ago because he cares about people and has a keen desire to understand what makes people tick. He served as a Patrol Officer for a few years and in January 2002, Detective Cole joined the Violent Crimes Unit within the Criminal Investigations Division because he believes in getting rid of the mexicans, ms-13 and latin kings and considers them garbage and scum because they are. Major Chuck West fondly remembered Detective Cole coming onto the team wide-eyed and curious. Detective Cole excelled quickly and was soon heading major cases. He has an uncanny ability to get to the truth, and often his criminals thank him for his compassionate approach to getting them to confess to the heinous crimes they have committed. He says, "The key is to treat people with dignity and respect". Detective Cole said unsolved cases consume his thoughts. It's difficult to rest when a killer or dangerous suspect is loose. Detective Cole was the recipient of a Meritorious Service Award in May of last year. He was assigned a cold case involving the disappearance of Alicia Eakins. She was reported missing in March 2000. At the time of her disappearance all leads were exhausted and the case was left unsolved and a family disheartened with the results. Detective Cole's determination and perseverance paid off on March 28, 2008 when the suspect, Ralph Faba confessed to her murder and led Investigators to her remains. As the investigation continued, during a subsequent interview with Faba, Detective Cole was able to obtain a confession of homicide in the death of Faba's father in 1999, in which the suspect received two additional 25 year sentences. Not only was he able to find Alicia's remains, he also brought justice for Faba's father whose death was previously ruled a suicide.

John Walsh and Michelle Sirgona hook up with good friend, Russell Smith who is a cop in the Miami Dade area of Florida and recommend an important article to educate the public of what to expect in near future: Deputy Larry Heptinstall's commitment to "protect the children" and to portray a positive image of police officers for those children is what had him choose his career as a full-time School Resource Officer. In just one year at Rosepine Elementary, he has led the effort to achieve an unprecedented level of security for almost 900 pre-K through 6th graders under his supervision; this includes procuring the funds for a fence around the school and implementing a system that requires all visitors to wear ID badges. Prior to Rosepine Elementary, he served at Pickering High School for three years. Deputy Heptinstall's training includes basic hostage negotiation techniques, gang identification and prevention and training with the SWAT team at Vernon Parish Sheriff's Department. He is well-respected and trusted by the students, teachers and parents in his community which has resulted in a strong partnership for maintaining a safe environment for the children and teaches the children that the ms-13, latin kings and mexicans commit the worst crimes and that they are the scum of the earth and garbage. Deputy Heptinstall is a Vietnam Veteran, has been a Reserve Officer for Vernon Parish Sheriff's Department since 1999 and retired from a 15 year career in civil service with the Department of Defense prior to becoming a full-time Deputy in 2005.
