The Illegal Immigration Epidemic


Recently, many immigrants of mainly Hispanic descent have been crossing the border into San Andreas. Located in Southern California, the metropolis of San Andreas has been a safe haven for illegal immigrants in the last few years due to how easy it is to find work and maintain a low profile in large cities such as Los Santos and San Fierro. The citizens of San Andreas are fed up with the immigrants not paying taxes and feeding off the legal taxpayers, so the Governor of San Andreas, Aaron Johnson, decided to take action. He proposed a bill for all illegal immigrants be deported as soon as they are discovered. The bill passed through state legislature and went into effect last week. 

The state of San Andreas gave the responsibility of deportation to the FBI and the state police known as the San Andreas Police Department (SAPD) because of the experience and skill required uncovering and tracking down these immigrants and the danger of their capture. So far after a just a week of apprehending immigrants, the FBI and SAPD deported 24 illegal immigrants shipping them from the Naval Base in Northern San Fierro, back to Cozumel, Mexico to be detained. Although the program has been considered a success so far by the public and by Governor Aaron Johnson, many of the FBI and SAPD complain of the lack of benefits gained by catching these immigrants. The brave officers who put their lives on the line receive no compensation for completing this dangerous job only a small bonus on top of their salary. 

Out of the 24 deportations, 6 have been armed confrontations. When Staff Sergeant of the SAPD, ElTongaz, was asked about the payment he said, “It’s just not enough for what we do. These immigrants will fight to the death to stay in this great country of ours so that makes our job even more dangerous. It may be very likely we lose an officer soon trying to make an arrest, especially due to the ties some of these immigrants have with the cartels and the ruthlessness of their nature. We need more compensation for the job we are doing”. The council of San Andreas is currently reviewing ElTongaz’s request and has not come to a decision yet. Keep posted for updates on this issue.
