ensnaring too many illegal immigrants.

I don't see the problem.

[speedy]

This is a joke, right?

[dr_who_2]

No brainer.

But Hispanic community leaders and City Council President Ignacio De La Fuente complained that the checkpoints were making life miserable for illegal immigrants who aren't licensed to drive but otherwise obey the law. Except, of course, for that other little niggling problem of them being here illegally and all.

[byteback]

I'm against all checkpoints unless it has to do with National security.

[Morgan's Raider]

...complained that the checkpoints were making life miserable for illegal immigrants who aren't licensed to drive but otherwise obey the law?!?!?!

Then therre's always the possibility they're drunk to boot. There are more contradictions in this one sentence that in a typical Kerry speech.

[Texas Eagle]

Funny that Oakland's mayor hasn't weighed in on this issue. What's his name again? Oh, yeah. Jerry Brown.

And it seems to me he's running for some state office right now. Let me think. Oh, yeah. Attorney General.

[CriticalJ]

I just don't understand. Is there an alternate definition to illegal that I haven't came across? Wouldn't a city/county/state want to capture illegal immigrants? Especially CA where money is tight and illegal immigrants are major reason for it.

Maybe I should enroll at Berkley and let them inform about why stopping the DUI checkpoints makes sense for everyone.

If they're here illegally, they AREN'T obeying the law!

i think it's time to cut off oakland and detach it from the US.

[nkycincinnatikid]

Haw, HAw HaW, hAw , haw! These illegals don't have any money to get , and they can cause the cops a world of shit. Why don't they set in amsush outside of bars and restaurants again and stop spooking the herd.

If there is Racial Profiling
Could there not also be Racial Favoritism ?

I mean we all know the only human beings on earththat are racist are White Christian Males so don't that mean that any other color than white has favoritism on it's side ?

How are we supposed to veiw this Ignorance you can make all the laws you want against anything you want but scream racial profiling and your free as a bird to do it again and again but if a white man even mentions racial profiling hes laughed out of the courtroom in chains and the key is thrown away.

In fact this reply may be removed just for mentioning everything im saying because someones feeeeeeeeelings might get stepped on .

BOOOOO HOOOOOOO .

I hate racism every aspect of it is vile no matter what color you are or what youve been taught your skin color is not you your character is YOU i have freinds in a multitude of countrys and a multitude of colors and i have never judged what they do by what color they are it just makes no damn sense !

OAKLAND, Calif. The Oakland Police Department has halted its use of D-U-I checkpoints after the city's Hispanic leaders complained that the roadblocks were ensnaring too many illegal immigrants.

I think I'm going to pretend this isn't happening

[tubebender]

after the city's Hispanic leaders complained that the roadblocks were ensnaring too many illegal immigrants.

Get me out of here. The inmates have taken over the asylum..

[BIGLOOK]

"illegal immigrants who aren't licensed to drive but otherwise obey the law"??????????

What exactly is Fuentes point?

[sharkhawk]

I agree that it is insane to stop this because the illegals have complained. However, I am real leary of giving the police the power to stop and arrest people without cause.

[seastay]

This is not just PC law enforcement run a mock, this is far more sinister as these Hispanic activists are being coached by the Mexican government, and they must they we have nothing but a bunch of keystone cops !

Consulate sends message on rumors
http://www.gazette.com/display.php?sid=1089062

TheThe Mexican Consulate in Denver began receiving reports about citywide raids during the Fourth of July weekend. That was the same time the Colorado Springs Police Department set up DUI checkpoints.

The Mexican Consulate in Denver sent out letters in an attempt to quell rumors and calm Hispanics worried that immigration officials are rounding up illegal immigrants in Colorado Springs.

In the letter, the consulate asked the public to inform the office of concrete examples of any immigration roundup so they can investigate.

[nuconvert]

LOL !

Oh that's a keeper.
You know these sobriety checks make life miserable for drunk drivers, too. LOL.
