Three other fairly large cities in Texas have signed on to not checking immigration status: Fort Worth, Arlington, and Plano(north of Dallas). I suspect most city police departments in Texas are not going to become adjuncts to the INS.

It's not a case of being an adjunct to the INS. What other mechanism other than local law enforcement can be effective in finding and detaining the millions upon millions of illegal aliens spread throughout this country? To duplicate what state and local police forces are capable of doing on illegal immigration would require more than 100,000 INS agents.

Seems to me that the real problem here is that much of the Texas Police Force have been Mexicanized and marginalized by political correctness. When a Cop can freely tell the citizens that pay his salary that he won't take federal directives that run at the heart of national security there is something radically wrong. For a terrorist probing for soft spots the news couldn't be better.

Funny how Texas has this problem. What's the name of that Texas Governor that recently got himself a promotion?

Yes, those illegals mowing the lawns and washing the dishes are just waiting to strap bombs on themselves or take over airliners or mail out anthrax.

I stand corrected.

This would be one of the best things the Federal government could do, if indeed that's what it takes. And let about 100,000 drones go from other bureaucracies at the same time.
