Illegal Immigrant Bond Fund

Illegal immigrants arrested in workplace raids can now access a fund to help them post bond.

The National Immigrant Bond Fund launched its national debut and fundraising campaign on Monday. Founder Bob Hildreth said Monday the goal is to raise $500,000.

Through the fund, illegal immigrants arrested in raids who do not have any outstanding criminal violations can apply for financial assistance. Churches, legal organizations or community groups help facilitate their requests. The fund provides half the bail money and immigrants must pony up the rest.

The fund has already been tapped into following a few raids, including one in Annapolis on June 30.

The fund was formalized three months ago. Hildreth says it's helped bail out about 100 people so far, and all of those cases are pending.


They ought to use the money to ship them back to their own country, until they can come back legally.

Sooooo, they are ILlegal immigrants and were helping them get out of jail. What the f? They should either stay in jail or be sent back, like you said Clouds.

what i dont get is how we're punishing them if we're giving them the exact thing they came here for... money? If we were to cross into Mexico illegally, i doubt they'd give us money!

[Camillusk]

Exactly! They'd probably **** and kill us. Course, I shouldn't contribute to stereotypes, should I....

I don`t think you are stereotyping at all, (probably because I agree) they can come here and do these things (because our government lets them) Then go right back to Mexico.
I noticed that the local news never likes to mention that 9 out 0f 10 rapes in this state are committed by illegals.
