"Apparently our business community no longer needs to do background checks on its employees, according to the May 5 Post Independent article, “Residents rally against local's deportation.”
Morality and legality do not coincide with each other. I thought the reason for the background checks was to decide if a person was good enough morally to work for the company. Apparently that is not the case. This can save businesses large sums of money for these background checks....."

SandBoxBlogs: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Basalt woman would be eligible in 3 years for immigration visa"
Heather McGregor:
"GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado — About 40 people rallied at noon on Friday to protest the pending deportation of a Basalt woman, whose son recently won a prestigious scholarship to attend Duke University.
Norma Galindo, 39, also known by her married name, Norma Morales, was taken into custody on April 24 by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials on a removal order issued in 2005 and upheld in 2008. She is an undocumented Mexican citizen who has lived in the U.S. for the past 21 years.....
........Now the family is distraught that Galindo is in custody, facing deportation to Mexico, as her son is about to graduate from Basalt High School. The family's younger son, Oswaldo, is 12......
....The Morales family and the Association of Youth United in Action are asking ICE to reconsider Norma's deportation, allow her to stay with her family, attend her son's high school graduation, and “to be given a chance to legally be a part of the nation her family calls home,” according to a press release issued Friday morning......
......In 2006, Galindo was convicted in Garfield County Court of a misdemeanor charge after she tried to obtain a state ID card at the Glenwood Springs Department of Motor Vehicles office using another person's New Mexico birth certificate. Galindo served one year of unsupervised probation.
Hess argues that a policy issued by ICE in 2011, outlining conditions that would warrant discretion on the part of prosecutors in choosing whether to pursue deportation cases, would change the course of Galindo's case. Hess argues in his brief that Galindo meets many of those guidelines.....
....Her disadvantages are the state ID card conviction and her decision to stay in the U.S. despite the removal order.....
....Hess contends that these factors would have led a U.S. immigration judge to make a different decision when Galindo appeared in 2008 for a hearing to appeal the deportation order. At the time, the judge denied her appeal. Hess argues that under the 2011 guidelines, her deportation case would have been closed...... (Read more? Click title)

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "Strawberry Days arrestee sentenced on local counts"
It feels very good to see Garfield County Sheriff's Dept. be given a little more of a level field from local reporters.
Maybe our local media would like to start mulling over the next positive to all step forward.
Like..maybe a sincere expression of appreciation for our county and city law enforcement, our ICE, TAG, TRIDENT and local DEA and FBI.
After all, that is something that the PI has rarely, if ever, done.
"Vallario has defended the operation, saying its mission was to identify known or possible gang members and prosecute them.
He said at the time of the arrests that anyone at the carnival who was wearing gang-related clothing, such as bandanas or certain sports jerseys, was approached and asked to remove them. In Centeno's case, authorities knew him to be a prior deportee with a history of gang involvement, and likely in the country illegally, Vallario said at the time...."
