Special Report: Prisons Crowded with Illegal Inmates

LOS ANGELES -- The numbers can look staggering. Nearly 20,000 inmates in California's state prison system have ICE holds on them, meaning there's a good chance they're illegal immigrants. More than 3,000 of those inmates are serving time for murder.

Because many of those convicts likely spent time in and out of local jails before committing the crimes that landed them in state prison, federal officials have begun working with more city and county jails to try to identify and deport more illegal immigrants earlier in their criminal careers.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's employees started working with ICE agents in 2006. Now, every week, county employees interview more than 100 inmates to try to determine their immigration status. The county employees have access to federal computers, including a fingerprint database that can match inmate fingerprints to see if the inmate has ever been deported.

The county employees often use the fingerprint database when they suspect the inmate they are interviewing is lying about his or her immigration status. Ms. Garza, a county jail custody assistant who didn't want her first name used, told us that about 90 percent of the time, the fingerprint database scores a hit.

The fact they're going to then get deported doesn't always bother them.

Maricopa County does the same thing, except they're sworn ICE agents as well and go and roundup illegals instead of just waiting for them to come in.

What the hell is CA waiting for? Ship them home

I hope if mcamnesty gets elected, he doesn't put a halt to this kind of stuff. People are sick of the illegals, and realise that they put an extreme burden on our society, in many different ways.

This is the NUMBER ONE reason I have a HUGE problem voting for mclame.
