Unfortunately, INS (as it used to be known) is too busy. They need our help!

You cant make a citizens arrest on an illegal immigrant. Citizens arrests are for felonies and misdemeanors only. It is actually not a crime to be an illegal alien. You wont find it in any penal law. You will however, find it in immigration law, which is different.
As a side note, most police agencies dont deal with immigration. They wont even ask, and if they're told they leave a message with INS. This is protect the people that may be illegal immigrants. If the police arrested illegal immigrants, then criminal could just wait in their neighborhoods and rob them and rape them and assault them, because the illegals would be too afraid to call the police to report anything.

You need to prove that they're an illegal immigrant at first.
Let the authorities deal with offences.
And why are you looking forward to screwing somebody else's life? They came to the country to get a better life, to meet better people.

That just is not possible. Call the police. Call immigration. Then get out of the way - they will eventually get to the problem. You know they can't run out and arrest everybody who is reported. I could get a bug up my butt and call and tell them you were illegal. They have to check the claim out first - so just because it appears to you that they are not reacting to your complaint doesn't mean they aren't. Good luck - and thanks for trying to better our country by helping to stop the flow of illegals............

You don't! You call immigration and let the professionals deal with it, because if you're wrong you stand to face charges for assault, wrongful detention, wrongful arrest, and the list goes on.

I would not recommend that, call the authorities. Besides the fact of being potentially physically dangerous, the possibility of a law suit would be eminent. I do admire the patriotism, but remember that someone sued McDonald's for their coffee being too hot...............and they won.

First, I think you should be 100% sure, it would be kind of embarrassing to make a mistake.
Second, call the police
