"The immigration laws make the determination on who's here illegally, not the police chief," she said.

OK, since when does it take a police chief to figure out that you're an illegal when 1.) You can't speak ANY English. 2.) You have several false ID papers. 3.) You're carrying a Mexican driver's license?

Things should be no different than when a US citizen enters a US Military installation. You automatically waive your rights to being notified in advance of being searched, your belongings siezed, and basically your rights as you know them being thrown out. Once an illegal steps over the border without documents allowing them to do so, they should immediately lose any and all Constitutional protections or rights. They should have fewer rights than someone breaking into your home in the middle of the night.

Actually, that's exactly what they're doing: breaking into our "home."

You are correct. They should. But they don't. It's the wording of that darn pesky 14th Amendment:

14th Amendment
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;
nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

If they had only used the word 'citizen' a third and fourth time instead of the word 'person'...we wouldn't be having this problem.
