The US Immigration and Custom Employment agency has reported that the more than 7,000 illegal immigrants were sent back to their homelands in Washington, Oregon and Alaska put together. The staffs of the agency hold the view that the reason behind such deportation is the recent expansion made in the Criminal alien Program. The number of deportation has shown increment of 2,000 illegal immigrants as compared to previous year, in fact these 7,000 illegal immigrants were sent back home in the duration of last nine months.

Lorie Dankers, spokeswoman for US Immigration and Custom Enforcement has said that they are keener to find out cases related to fraud identity and people who deliberately hire illegal immigrants and thereby promote illegal immigration. She also informed about their long term investigation going in north of Seattle and aerospace manufacturer.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement have also brought the serious and dangerous aspect of the illegal immigrants. They said that amongst those deported 7,000 illegal immigrants, 2,000 were involved in criminal activities. This indeed brings bad name to the immigrants, but this is not the case of all immigrants. The agency is also taking the help of court records to trace the illegal immigrants, which would help in cleansing the corruption involved in immigration.
