I'm a police officer and we are constantly running into people, generally Mexicans but sometimes others, who speak little English (or pretend not to) and who have NO U.S. issued identification.

If they are illegally in the US, deport them.

"If they are illegally in the US, deport them."

Yeah, you would think it works that way, wouldn't you? Not even close. First, we have no real way of verifying who they are, so even if they happen to be on an INS wanted list, we would never know. Secondly, very very very few illegals are wanted for deportation by the INS. Don't even try to suggest calling the INS at 3:00 a.m. (or 1:00 p.m. for that matter) to get it sorted out... they aren't interested. If they've done nothing else illegal, your local cops have no way of protecting you by holding or locking these people up.

It should infuriate you.
