There Are Too Many Immigrants in Detention Centers
Bondsmen are working harder than ever before because so many people need immigration bail bonds. New statistics on the current state of immigrants in detention centers has reached a critical point, and immigration experts worry that something has got to give. There are now officially more than 42,000 immigrants in detention centers in the United States, the most there has ever been.Â
The number of immigrants in detention centers is alarming for a number of reasons. Firstly, we are in an election year, and immigration policies are going to be changing very soon, but in what way? There is still no clear winner in the upcoming election, and because both parties have such a polar opposite opinion on immigration reform, the changes are likely to be very different. Consequently, until the elections next month, immigration bail bonds are being issued by families in an attempt to get their loved ones released as soon as possible. Â
Secondly, the number of immigrants in detention centers highlights the issues of a broken system. Immigrants that come to the United States are captured, sent to detention centers, released through the use of immigration bail bonds, only to flee again when the opportunity arises. Â
Of course no clear solution exists, but the opposition in politics does not help get the issue resolved and leaves it stagnant. Immigration experts and immigration bail bondsmen have hopes that immigration reform measures will be taken in the near future, and that the path to citizenship will be streamlined, more efficient, and diminish detention centers holding immigrants other than criminals.
ONe question we ask more often is this: are immigration bonds too high in areas like Texas? The price of immigration bonds does have an indisputable relation to how difficult it is for immigrants to get a fair shake on immigration.Â
