You got that right, until we vote these criminal sympathizers out of office nothing will change.
Yes, definitely....
We thought we had that here with Arnold getting voted in, but voila, he did a back flip and apparently caved to political pressure from the Illegal lovers that we have so many of here...
Apparently certain laws are OK to break by certain people, but by God don't you or I break one...
It has been debated nationwide and in a perfect world it would be a great idea but there is a "however". Are you as a local taxpayer that resides in a city that has a large population of illegals going to foot the bill for the extra police officers you will need, additional courts and additional jails to deal with these people, (not to mention lawsuits which are very common here in New Jersey). When most people hear that side of the arguement they defer to the federal govenment to handle it. It's sad but true! One of my remedies would be to start with the elimination of "anchor baby status". Illegals know if they can birth a baby in the U.S. they are golden. I believe if your an illegal alien in the U.S. and have a baby here the baby should be the nationality of where the parents are citizens or wherever else the parents want to take them to try and become citizens but not here. Bottom line it's an entitlement that we all eventually pay for with no benefit to us. Just my two cents.

I think that the cost savings of getting the burden of the Illegals lifted off of the taxpayers would offset at least a good percentage of the increased burden of enforcement. (At least in cities with very heavy Illegal Immigration). As far as courts and jails go, I have arrested plenty of Illegals in my city (just for being Illegal) and the BP bus (or van depending on the # of Illegals) would come straight to our station when called and take them straight to the border. There was never a legal proceeding, court involvement, etc.. Not to say that wouldn't happen today though...
Now, that being said.... You are absolutely right that the anchor baby is a HUGE problem, as is keeping them on their side of the border once you return them... The border would have to be much more secure before any major efforts were made to start deporting, and we all know how fast that is happeneing, even though Americans overwhelmingly asked for it... Some things never change...

I'm 100% with you on the anchor baby status, it's a major problem and the laws need changed on that. I'm all for paying a higher tax for more police officers and more jails, we need them anyway. By cutting free services off for the illegals would save $billions, some of this money could be used for services in deporting illegals. As Dir Drill 1 said, we would need a more secure border.

Just curious. I've been in law enforcement for 30 years. Are you a federal agent? If not what statute do you hold an illegal alien on (other than violations of criminal law). Are there special considerations (laws) for illegals in your state. Are you able to stop someone, ask for documentation and if it can't be given detain the person and hand them off to immigration agents for deportation. Like I said I'm curious because that's not the case in my state.

I am a retired city police officer. The contacts were always based on criminal activity, and if it was a misdemeanor (Typically 647(f) P.C.) and there were enough individuals to make it worth it (Parties usually) then instead of charging them with 647(f) PC, I would do an 8-hour DeTox hold, and let the BP know when they would be ready for release.. I know it's only a handful at a time, but better than nothing, and completely legal without any court involvement..

O.K. I got you. Here in New Jersey we have frequent contact with illegals. Years ago we would contact immigrations and see if they wanted to come and scoop these people and the reply was always "no thank you, we have enough to take care of". If they weren't involved in anything criminal it was basically adios. I think many people don't realize how frustrating a job it is for a law enforcement officer that deals with illegals on a daily basis and has no jurisdictional power over them. Anyway congratulations on your retirement. I'm real short as well, I've done all the protecting and serving I can handle
