Illegal Alien Immigration PING
bump
Pulling for the union, looks like. They’re the ones on the front lines, not the desk jockeys who have to brownnose civic pols.
Its long past time to start punishing cities and states that practice sanctuary for illegals.
I don’t blame them. The pols make the policy, but in the public opinion the cops get blamed.
The thought of a LEO being reprimanded for enforcing a federal law is just a little disgusting.
GOOD for them !!
IIRC it was Phoenix cops that said the city's murder rate dropped about 30% with some added security @ our border.
The Chief is creating a phony dichotomy. This isn’t about enforcing immigration laws on a daily basis, it’s about simple fairness. Those who ‘only’ committed a traffic violation will, upon being asked for a drivers license, probably produce a phony one. They’ll also be driving without insurance, and probably driving an unregistered vehicle. All of those are crimes. If they’re cited and released, they will have given a phony address and won’t show up in court, making the citation meaningless. So, you end up letting illegals ‘skate’ while legals experience consequences when they disobey the laws.
There’s nothing wrong with insisting on knowing who you’re actually dealing with so you can enforce the laws uniformly. If that involves ICE having to do a fingerprint check because the guy gave you a phony ID, and that check turns up a warrant, so be it.
Traitor Sutton is looking for a way to arrest these cops.
Ping!
Harris is a police chief which means that he is a political whore, and will do whatever his master, the mayor or equivalent, tells him to do.
Ahhhhh, excuse me did Harris say "centers on immigrants"? If they're immigrants, they are legal.
About two years ago I was cruising around on real estate sites looking at the possibilty of buying a second home in AZ, NM, or elsewhere in the Southwest.
These were real estate sites and forums, not political forums like FR, but I was surprised at the huge number of extremely negative comments *by current residents* about the illegal alien problem and how it had effected their communities: lots of expressions about increased crime, trash, drunk driving, etc. And a general sense of less security and even being under seige in some cases.
Obviously I’ve stopped looking for a place in the Southwest. Even St. George Utah seemed to have problems!

The police chief (Bratton) has done nothing but suck up to the sanctuary city policy. He's useless.
Doesn't federal law trump municipal policy?
Under section 642(a) of IIRIRA, a “Federal, State, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.”
