Deportation OfficerThe United States is a nation built of immigrants, but not everyone is welcome.In 2008, for the sixth year in a row, a record number of illegal aliens was removed from the United States by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Nearly 359,000 illegal aliens were sent away, with illegal drug activity, immigration violations, and assault being the top crimes committed. If you think guiding the nation's growth through welcoming new citizens and weeding out bad actors sounds interesting consider a career as an immigration services officer. Deportation officers' work Deportation officers, or immigration services officers, approve or deny applications and petitions for immigrant benefits. They work with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to seek out people who pose a threat to our nation's security. The job is stressful and positions are created by turnover. Federal pay grades for deportation officers Pay for deportation officers is listed with job postings on the USA Jobs website. Annual salary for an immigration services officer ranges from $27,026 to $70,615 depending on education and experience, according to David Santos, regional media manager for the immigration service. Pay grade is based on the federal general schedule, or GS grade. Overall, the grades range from GS 1 to GS 15. Just starting out with a high school diploma and three months of general experience would qualify you for GS 2 status. When you have a college degree but no experience, you would qualify for a GS 5 level position. Higher appointment levels can be won with a master's or doctoral degree. If working for a federal government agency appeals to you, consider working as a deportation officer. |
