Trespass Law Helps Nab Illegal Immigrants

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Two police chiefs, frustrated by what they claim is the government's failure to pursue illegal immigrants, are taking a novel approach to homeland security: using a trespassing law to arrest undocumented immigrants.

W. Garrett Chamberlain pioneered the tactic in New Ipswich and Hudson chief Richard Gendron enthusiastically joined in.

Both say they are helping to prevent another Sept. 11.

"What do you do?" Gendron said recently. "As a law enforcement officer, I have a difficult time with someone who's not supposed to be in this country. If we're really, truly concerned about homeland security, this is one of the areas we have to give attention to."

Based on comments regarding tresspass laws and illegal immigration that were so well pointed out by Freeper JCEccles on the "Nevada lawmakers move to protect immigrants" thread, I felt this report was appropriate.

Law makers in Nevada need to start breathing the same air as these Polic Chiefs in New Hampshire, and the Judge in South Texas IMHO.

FYI.

More and more local officials are getting it and reacting to address the illegal alien issue.

Either Uncle Sugar handles it at the border or I'll handle it at the porch.....

I'll check back in when the FROBL Swamp Disruption Culture floats to the surface to laugh at their disinformational sh*t'n shineola traveling snake oil show.......:o)

Stay safe Jeff !

Unfortunately not the Law Enforcement agencies in CT. Today on the front page of the Connecticut post is an article stating the position of the Connecticut State Police.

Basically, they're saying.... "Not our problem"..
More "Selective law enforcement" from our Boys in Blue.

[commonasdirt]

This just may get the feds attention and they will finally act to do something about the illegal problem......OR they could try and screw these guys somehow. Could go either way

That's my native Texas talking through and through!

Vote 'em out of office. As this type of action (in NH and Texas) spreads, more and more Americans are going to demand similar action in their localities.

[Jeff Head]

Well, the awareness and the willingn ess to act within the law to address the issue is growing. (Ie. this in NH, thee Judge down in Texas, the Minutemen, etc.).

Thos acting against the rising sentiment of citizens and local authorities to address this issue will ultimately be acting in their own worst interest IMHO>

[Squantos]

Excellant.........a keeper !

[Jeff Head]

FYI...willingness on the part of more and more citizens and local authorities to act within the law to address this issue is growing.

[Travis McGee]

If the feds won't do their job, the locals will have to.

[Joe 6-pack]

Thanks for the ping. I believe Yahoo grabbed this article (or at least the info therein) from a few weeks back (about the time of the Minuteman deployment). I saw something posted here on FR, IIRC, about trespassing charges being brought by local LE who were frustrated by the lack of cooperation from the Feds.

Hopefully, they will find DAs who will not decline purview or waive jurisdiction...one would think that an elected DA would find these prosecutions very beneficial in an area where illegals were a problem nad the Feds have done little. Word spreads very rapidly in the illegal community and all I can say is woe be the areas that go easy on illegals if others decide to crack down....

....It's like the two hikers who are charged by angry grizzly. They both immediately drop their packs, but one sheds his boots and quickly tries to change into a pair of athletic shoes. His partner says, "Don't be crazy, you'll never outrun that bear." As he pulls on his second Nike and ties he knot, he replies, "I know. I only have to outrun you." The municipalities who crack down on and make life difficult for illegals will do especially well if there are *easier* communities just down the road...

[Jeff Head]

Amen bro. Talk is cheap.

Check out THIS THREAD for some good dialog.

[Countyline]

Good news indeed.
the picture of the fence at the border in the post below is unbelievable

[Jeff Head]

I beleive the first report was a seperate incident when Garrett Chamberlain started it. Now this Hudson has joined in.

Good on 'em both and on the Judge down in South Texas!

[Jeff Head]

Yep...Travis paints a very accurate and sobering picture there...and it is true of hunderds and hundred...even thosuands of miles on our border.

"What do you do?" Gendron said recently. "As a law enforcement officer, I have a difficult time with someone who's not supposed to be in this country. If we're really, truly concerned about homeland security, this is one of the areas we have to give attention to."

Sure seems to me we would.

[Jeff Head]

Basic, straight forward common sense. Good on this these folks.
