While I don’t approve of the “sanctuary city” nonsense, there is a reason for not arresting people at a courthouse.
If illegals become afraid to deal with law enforcement and the courts, then they become part of a subculture which is afraid to report crimes against them; or to be witnesses to crimes.
And that means, for some cities, a population of hundreds of thousands which is unwilling to step forward as witnesses. And that in turn makes for more crime, not less.
So what? F them. If they don't like it they can go home!!! Illegal should be afraid, very afraid. Always afraid. So much so they need to GTHOOC.
What happened to Free Republic!! When did Freepers start buying liberal BS talking points?
Following your logic, If they were really reporting crimes, wouldn’t they be turning themselves in?
Not a problem.
It’s extremely stupid to think they were ever going to testify from Brazil or Columbia anyway.
“then they become part of a subculture which is afraid to report crimes against them”
so? they’re criminals to start with themselves, which is why ALL criminals refuse to report crimes against themselves ... if they don’t like that situation, then they don’t like victims then they should stop being illegal aliens and go home ...and besides, why should we paying to defend them against other criminals instead of paying to deport them, anyway?
So, their fear will drive them to leave and go home. Give them no legal shelter or protection except while leaving.
California has a vibrant Hispanic subculture already. The gardeners, pool maintenance, painters, electricians, AC repairs, hair salons, all do work on a cash basis. It’s everywhere! They don’t get married and live with girl friends and 3-4 kids in subsidized housing with food stamp cards. They even share kids on tax returns to get 6,8,10K refunds.The Mexican guys who work as foremen for licensed pool companies, for example, can put a pool in for you for half the price, weekend work only.
No permits so you’re on your own there. If Hispanic families need prescription medicines, they know where to go and pay less money without prescriptions. Fraud is rampant in California. The subculture is becoming the norm. I admit there are many honest Mexican families in CA, but the younger ones have blatantly told me that they are winning the war.
Off, begone with you, troll.
Then they can go back home.
As for the legal immigrants, they will be encouraged to know they can vote GOP which will do away with Stanktuary city BS.
That’s the dem talking point. I’d argue theres a relatively small level of cooperation there anyway. After all they come from countries where law enforcement or government is not to be trusted so uncooperative attitudes are baked in. Add to which they are here illegally! Does anyone believe given these facts this demographic is lining up at the squad house to report anything?
And most importantly, I have yet to see the “victim” getting grabbed at the courthouse.
”The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said both men had been arrested by immigration officers numerous times from 2004 to 2010 and returned to Mexico in response several times.”
“And that in turn makes for more crime (against illegal aliens), not less.” Parenthesis mine.
Which is negative reinforcement for their bad behavior.
If anyone, legal or illegal, is reluctant to report a crime, it is not because they are afraid of law enforcement. It is because they are afraid of the criminals.
Yeah, that’s the standard excuse.
They’re ILLEGAL.
Remove them.
Problem solved.
