In the city I live it, the police can and do arrest illegals and turn them over to the INS.
You're lucky rintense. We have millions here in Phoenix and everyones hands are tied because of both state policies and city policies. The article is right, most people aren't aware of the laws that protect the illegals and everyone focuses on the feds. Once they are here it's almost impossible to find them, pick them up, and deport them.
That's one of the main reasons I was hoping Bush's plan would go through. With a legal option for workers nobody would be able to say we have to "protect" the illegals. You could easily find out if they were the "hard working people just trying to make a living" or a thug. If they don't have a card, they're a thug. Bye bye.
