Quote:
The eleven aliens suing ICE claim that agents entered their homes without cause, consent or search warrants and that authorities had no reason to assume they lacked legal status.
and yet apparently they ARE illegal..............

One more reason why assets of CRIMINAL aliens should be seized. Money made as a result of a crime is seized in other cases, why not in this scenario? That would address some of the greed involved in these suits. For this to be effective, the POS lawyers who take on these cases would have to denied any payment.

ICE raided about 6 houses and detained about 1/2 of the 30 occupants. It is unclear if all of the 11 plaintiffs are illegals. ICE did not have search warrants or arrest warrants. The judge's ruling was that the same Constitutional rights that keep police from kicking in the doors of suspected drug dealers and suspected white collar criminals also apply to illegal immigrants - and that the plaintiffs have the right to sue the police for these breaches. Sometimes the law isn't what you think it should be.

The judge's decision:

Illegal aliens don't have the same rights as citizens.

Where is that written? Which part of the Constitution limits Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights to citizens? If that was a valid legal argument then the defense would have brought it up.

I do have a problem with federal agents entering homes without warrants because for one, that's not needed to deport illegals, there are other ways to find illegals.

And none of us would want agents banging down our doors to search our homes for illegals who aren't there.

I don't believe in door-to-door searches without warrants. They can crack down on employers, make sure job holders have the proper documentation and of course cut off government handouts like food stamps. Deport illegals as they make themselves known. When found driving without licenses and insurance, shoplifting, DWI.

These illegals shouldn't be given some kind of amnesty however - the warrantless search doesn't give them a pass for their crimes.

They should have handled it differently. Road blocks work nice. If someone runs from a traffic stop into the building you then have probable cause.

The Constitution holds for every person...regardless of their immigration status; guilt, or innocence. The Law presumes every person innocent untill "Due Process" and ajudication.

Yep, and exactly why a tougher border is needed. That way no one can sneak here to be able to hide behind the net we have in place for our Citizens.

Isn't it amazing how the illegals just LOVE the laws of this country when they protect THEM? Yet they have zero qualms breaking any that don't benefit them.
