Well I have seen it happen. Since the passing of the new immigration laws. I live in Orlando and the Cops line the up like 20 at time sometimes asking latinos for their papers. I think that is another type of profiling because some of them were born here.

I think all law enforcement officials should be empowered as duly appointed proxies of the US Border Patrol. I think the citizenry should also be directly lobbied to sign up and participate in this effort, complete with the whole police background thing, the whole 9 yards, put enforcement where it belongs, in the communities that have basically been overrun by illegals and those that aid and abet their entry into our country other than in compliance with standing US immigration laws. We don't need another multibillion dollar gummit kontrak, we need the CITIZENS of our country to be directly called forth to participate. Volunteers can do amazing things, including co-operate and work toward a common goal, and stuff...

Yes, state and local police officers are being cross-trained to recognize immigration violations. A further indication of the value society is now placing on legal immigration.

maximum immigration officials international huge are stern searching, and regardless which nationalities they're getting to. yet you need to be happy that Singapore Immigration officials only tutor stern searching. I had encountered better than two times that Malaysia Immigration officials locate fault on my passport, and requested for money inorder to sparkling. besides i'm a Singaporean.

GOOD! Police officers are sworn to uphold the laws, all laws. So why not immigration laws as well? They should have the legal right to arrest these illegal criminals.

Depends on the state, in some states, yes it is. If you are illegal, obvioulsy you are not going to have a green card or social, are you? He proabably may not have had a license. Police need some form of ID to check out your record when they pull you over, just like they check out EVERYONE'S record when they are pulled over.

No, i havent heard of this, but I wish it were true. I would also like to see cititzens arrest in illegal aliens cases. If they're breaking the law, their breaking the law. Period.

He was taken to jail because he did not have a drivers license, and because he was forging green cards, ids, and social security cards. This is why he was arrested.
