Broken Immigration
System
To the editor:
The issues of illegal
immigration continue to
plague our country. I have
been employed in law en-
forcement for over 40 years,
with much of that time
spent in Umatilla and Mor-
row counties. I am current-
ly the sheriff of Morrow
County.
Since I have been sher-
iff, I have been invited sev-
eral times to visit the south-
ern US border to see first
hand the crime issues along
the border states. Issues
of drug running, human
trafficking, the extreme
violence of the drug cartels
and gangs. I’ve visited the
ranches with little or no bor-
der security and spoke with
the people that live there
with the constant threat of
armed violence. I’ve seen
the evidence of rapes, rob-
beries and murders of the
people that are victimized
as they make their way
to the United States. I’ve
attended the daily brief-
ings of the multi-agency
task forces which are very
similar to our own major
crime team and drug task
force except theirs are much
larger and are permanent.
Border sheriffs have an
expression, “What happens
at the border doesn’t stay at
the border.” All the issues of
drug smuggling, violence,
human trafficking, ille-
gal immigration and cartel
expansion is carried out
throughout all the various
parts of our country. Mor-
row County experiences
the same type of issues
other jurisdictions expe-
rience except at a smaller
scale. The large marijuana
grows in south Morrow
County were known to be
controlled by the Mexican
cartels here too.
How did the sheriff of
Oregon’s seventh smallest
county get involved with
this issue? Because I have
been fighting these issues
for nearly as long as I have
been in law enforcement.
As I have mentioned in
previous articles in this
paper, I was here when
the advent of circle pivot
irrigation systems touched
off the garden of Eden in
farm production. It started
what is best described as
the beginning of the great
southern migration. Who
is responsible for most of
the blame for all these years
of our broken immigration
system? It’s not simple, but
the bottom line is that both
political parties are respon-
sible. It became apparent to
me that it was about power
and politics. When one
party was in control, it was
building, expanding, mak-
ing money and finding la-
bor. It was about business-
es, larger plants and where
do you find the labor force
to fill those new fields and
factories? Where do you
find the labor you need to
grow and process this new
garden of Eden? Build it
and they will come and they
did. When the other party
came to power, it was about
political clout. The political
party was viewed as the
party of the little people; the
disadvantaged and the new
arrivals. The immigrants
that were able to get legal
status and then citizenship
if they were lucky leaned
toward this political party.
Our political divide grew
as our parties traded the
lead back and forth. Some
states were now becoming
involved in the federal issue
of immigration law.
The system has been
allowed to go unfixed for
so long that it appears to
be unfixable. In the past, I
participated in a program in
DC called “Hold their feet
to the fire,” which was a
program to try to encourage
our elected leaders to come
to an agreement on repair-
ing our broken immigration
system. It continues to be a
difficult task.
Sept. 5 and 6, I have
been invited back to DC
to a meeting called “White
House Nationwide Sheriff’s
Fly-in.” The white house
has invited sheriffs from
each state to come and talk
about their experiences on
issues of immigration and
how it has impacted their
communities in their local
jurisdictions. The Presi-
dent is expected to host the
group and wants to hear
from the sheriffs as he goes
forward in finding solutions
to our broken immigration
system. Perhaps he may
hear a few ideas on working
to repair it.
The expenses for this
trip are being paid by FAIR
(Federation for American
Immigration Reform) and
not the taxpayers of Mor-
row County.
