Don't any of you seem to understand, it's not the job of the local PDs to determine who is and who isn't legally here. It's the federal government's job.

Do you want to put them in the position of stopping everybody who's skin is dark, checking for papers?

Please read this : Austin police say however, they will continue to cooperate with federal agents who have criminal warrants for illegal immigrants.

I cannot believe that some of you think the local PDs should somehow become another arm of the INS.

I would like to see the police stop everybody regardless of skin color and check their papers. I wouldn't mind if the police asked to see my papers. I haven't broken any laws so I have nothing to worry about. It's only the criminals who have to worry. By the way, there are more than one million illegal aliens from throughout Europe roaming around the United States, so it's not just a "dark skin" thing that we're dealing with here.
