“Accordingly, New Hampshire law enforcement officials should not make future arrests for criminal trespassing based solely on the defendant’s immigration status.”

How about arrests for their immigration status, then?

They are already exempt from our immigration laws, might as well give them a pass on trespass, theft, assault, rape, etc.

Oh and lets give them our houses and land, too.

I am thinking about going south, changing my name to Juan, and coming back as an illegal. You get a lot more benefits and if anyone actually tries to arrest you for ANYTHING, just yell "racism!"

Can't states just charge them with being here "illegally"?

You got that right. I'm sick of white people being the only ones held accountable for breaking the laws. The Goverment is allowing this to ferment until all hell breaks loose.
What are they looking to gain by allowing a segment of the population here break the laws with no penalty.

Disturbing. Looks like they are unwittingly brewing a backlash they are not prepared to deal with. There are limits to what people are prepared to take.

So how do you violate criminal trespass laws? Are they now off the books? Can you still arrest non-illegal-immigrants for criminal trespass? What are property owners supposed to do? What are cops supposed to do?

How about the recent case where two illegals were caught trespassing in an arizona ranch and were threatened by the rancher and associates only later to be sued and forced to give his ranch and $100,000 to the two illegals? So much for the right of private property.

Finally, we've found a state where illegal immigrants are welcome! Now if we can only find someone to pay for their bus ticket.

How much would you like to bet that everyone else in that county will be applying the Three S law to any future illegals they find on their property?

The cops were using criminal trespass laws against illegals just driving around by claiming that them being in the US is a trespass. Juan the Illegal would still be guilty of criminal trespass if he dropped by your house, grabbed a beer from your fridge and turned on Univision on your TV.

Memo to New Hampshire District Court Judge L. Phillips Runyon III: Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Judge Runyon's incomprehensible ruling this month in a highly unusual illegal immigration case could have had national repercussions if his decision could be taken seriously by more than those whose ignorance exceeds his.

If a person commits criminal trespass, how can it be determined that the person was arrested due to their immigration status?

I've heard that case as being in Texas, not Arizona. Makes your head spin either way!

My thoughts exactly. Hunting season may come early this year......

I think the FR focus on illegal aliens takes away from the real job-loss problem in America--outsourcing of jobs to India or China.

That being said, the Judge is an idiot. Whereas state legislatures and the state executive branch do not have to enforce federal law under the 10th amendment (that's why so many laws are tied to the spending power--Congress is bribing the states to enact or enforce particular laws such as the 55 mph speed limit), state courts _are_ required to enforce federal laws--this is like first-year law school stuff.
