some with phony ID and all admitted illegal immigrants

Apparently then presenting phony ID's is only a felony if an American citizen does it. They have to start getting serious about homeland security. Presenting phony and stolen documents is a felony and should be treated as such ---and illegals doing it is worse than citizens doing it.

I was wondering about this also. Couldn't the police detain them on this charge? Or did they get overruled by the INS?

This is truly outrageous. We need reorganization of all our government agencies.

From the best of my understanding, it's only if a U.S. citizen does.

The Constitution gives the federal government the power ONLY to secure the borders.

It does not, however, have juristiction over individuals inside the states themselves.

Illegals KNOW the feds cannnot touch them because they aren't U.S. citizens.

Folks born in America are supposed to be American Nationals, but when we get Social (in)Security numbers, we 'voluntarily' put ourselves in the federal juristiction and become U.S. citizens.

Then we fall under not only civil law but statutory law as well, and the government can do pretty much as it d*mn well pleases.
