He can. Doesn't stop him from becoming an officer of the law. Nor should it. |

Duarte noticed the creases in the American officer's uniform, so sharp they could cut a tamale.

Was he indicted or convicted of anything? No? Then he doesn't have a criminal past.

Apparently not for the police department that hired him.

Really? Don't you think every cop out there has broken the law, big or small, of some sort? Speeding? Running a red light? DUI? Smoking pot? Getting in a bar fight? Statutory rape? |

If the guy had robbed a bank, but then felt bad later and returned the money....
....would the Santa Cruz Police Dept hire him as a law enforcement officer? |

1. Santa Cruz PD won't hire anyone who has smoked marijuana.
2. We voted for somebody to become president of the United States who has used harder drugs than pot.

Just to clarify the above specifically:
Illegal entry absolutely is a criminal offense, Title 8 US criminal code. Illegal presence is a civil offense. |

Illegal entry into the US is a misdemeanor. Not a felony, like robbing a bank, etc.... Not all crimes are equal. Sheesh.
