Your retort in our debate is a non-sequitor, IMO. Having my car stolen is a felony theft.

So if someone stole your wallet, and I saw it, I should not report it? If someone backed into your car in the parking lot and I saw it it would be just fine with you that I don't report it? If someone spray painted obscenities all over your house and I saw them doing it, you would be just pleased as punch if I didn't tell a soul?

When your own State government has given specific orders to law enforcement that they SHOULD NOT COOPERATE with INS officials regarding illegal status, then I ask myself why. While the main reason is purely political...they plan on capturing them as the additional and/or replacement minority voters...secondary reasons are that the economic contribution by these illegal residents far outweigh the costs.

You're only peripherally responsible for the actions of your elected representatives depending upon how you votes. You are responsible for your OWN actions in relation to criminal activity. You can't hide behind the inaction of politicians. You must take appropriate action when observing a crime. You know that is what you would want others to do if you were the victim of that crime. Report the illegal aliens or you are, by your inaction, condoning and endorsing their criminal activity. And if you even give them the time of day you're enabling that criminal activity.
