BURLINGTON — In a weatherbeaten brick building downstairs from a dentist, the tenants in Suite 1A are carrying out the business of the Department of Homeland Security.
Behind a smoky-glass door, a private company called BI Incorporated monitors immigrants facing deportation with office visits, surprise home inspections, and even GPS devices attached to their ankles, making sure they show up for immigration court or their final departure.

So was Urbina ordered deported, or not? Seems like the Globe could get records of a hearing, rather than just saying she disputes that. If so, and a year before the New Bedford raid, GPS may be needed.
And they left that little detail for the last paragraph. No bias here.
Only in America can a trespasser claim they did nothing wrong. Entering the country illegally, taking a job from an American and suppressing wages. Nope, nothing wrong with that.

ILLEGAL ALIENS are SERIOUS CRIMINALS.
Till we can speed up "detaining and deporting".... this is a great program and should be expanded. Bunch of Illegals in the Home Depot parking lot right now that should be tagged...
The Illegal crying about the $50 it cost her to travel to her monitoring station. First - if you leave, you no have to pay! Second, if you are illegal - you shouldn't be working... where did you get the $50? More criminal activity?

Absolutely, Illegal immigrants are criminals. And extremely costly. How much money and time do we spend on them, arguing about them politically, on law enforcement and ICE, paying for their kids education, citizen workers losing pay because of them suppressing wages, issues with the identity theft ... costing us billions.
What a waste of our tax dollars.
Yes.....I agree. Putting the ILLEGALS immediately into boxcars or cargo ships and sending them back would be a MUCH better (and cheaper) use of our tax dollars.
And, yes, even on St Patty's day, I mean both the ILLEGALS from down south as well as those from County Kerry (Contae Chiarraí) and elsewhere

Love that their poster child says she is not a flight risk, but in the last paragraph they say she already fled once. Don't want to wear the monitor? Go home...or go to another country. The fact that she is at least 7 years out from a deportation order and she still has some leech lawyer holding here is appalling and a horrible waste of taxpayer dollars.
Many Republican lawmakers/politicians own a financial interest in these private prison corporations (such as BI Corp). A savvy immigrant activist should check this out -- see which politicians are getting rich off this misery!
You have to love how the reporter just calls them "immigrants" -- not "illlegal immigrants," not even the laughably euphamistic "undocumented workers." Now they're simply immigrants, as if they have done nothing wrong at all. As if they belong in the same category as all the honest people from other countries who are going through the immigration process legally. This is how you can tell you have a reporter with an agenda. All pretense of objectivity is thrown out the wondow.
How could anyone dislike my comment? I need to know.
I took one look at who wrote the story and moved to the next page.
At least your not prejudice. No, wait, you are!

Where to start. You aren't talking Immigrants, you are talking about illegal immigrants ordered deported. BIG BIG difference. And your story shows why we need such measures ... 77 % still don't show up for deporatation hearings?
You don't need to look any further than Obama's drunk driving Uncle. Ordered deported decades ago, found guilty, this state of wacko's GIVES HIM A DRIVER'S License. The deck is stacked against law obeying, tax paying citizens. Good luck to Patrick and Rachel Kaprellian if the drunk Uncle ends up driving drunk again and killing someone.
You forgot to mention POTUS Obama's Aunt Zeituni who was found living in federal subsidized housing after she was ordered deported.
Since that time, she went back in front of the same judge that ordered her deported and was granted political asylum because returning to Kenya would put her life at risk due to her famous nephew.
I would think, that after what happen to OBL, no one would even think about harming Aunt Zeituni.
BTW Auntie Zeituni believes that the US owes her a sum of money for the public embarrassment that she suffered.
At least the uncle worked for a living while Auntie was on the dole.

As always, the Globe leave the key word out of the title. Illegal. Nobody has a problem
with legal immigrants.
Correct. Legal immigration built this country and made it strong. Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans are welcomed into this country every year legally, and with good reason ... they prove themselves to be good potential citizens by respecting our laws.
Another nauseating one-sided Sunday Globe story by Maria Sacchetti about illegal immigrants, enough already. Ndcsjp is so right.
It's degrading to legal immigrants thT the globe does not specify that this article is about illegal immigrants
Shout out to Maria, they are ILLEGAL, get it? They procreate and suck out our hard earned tax dollars every minute that they are here. Stop being an Obamalite and WAKE UP TO REALITY!

It is articles like this that is putting the Globe out of business. To say she doesn't have a criminal record is ridiculous. She is here illegally and is caught up in the ICE system. She is a criminal!!!!
The Globe is fortunate that there is a large pool of highly educated useful idiots that continue to support the newspaper.
Based on the last 10 years of declining readership and increasing prices, I predict that the Globe will cease to publish by 2022.
By 2022, Because of QE1,...,QEnn hyperinflation will have driven the price of the paper to $20 dailyand $100 Sunday nad the readership to under 10,000. Minimum wagw qill bw over $100/hr, sales tax will be 20% and state income tax 30% with a yearly tax of 20% on the monetary assets of residents.
