Local Police Join the Bandwagon of Immigration Enforcement After a very slow startup in taking advantage of the program for training of state and local law Comments
I fail to see what the hell the big deal is. A law is a law. Break the law - pay the price. Then they say it is federal law and federal authorities should take care of it. What about the creep robbing the bank? That is a federal law but when it happens all I see is Sheriff cars swarming the scene. So what is the difference? Can someone tell me?

We just want the existing laws enforced and they act like we'll need a Supreme Court decision to lick a stamp on our envelope for a request for help.

THEY TOOK A OATH TO PROTECT Posted by: SUSAN MARIANO on May 17, 2008 05:59 PM What's really unfair is if I get charged with even a minor offense you can pretty much figure I will either be paying big fines, jail time or both but yet somehow people who have NO LEGAL RIGHT to be in my country are given a free pass. Why the hell are Americans allowing the corruption of American is beyond me. Brian Posted by: Brian on May 19, 2008 04:16 PM |
enforcement personnel in immigration law and deputizing them, i.e., 287(g) programs, the concept has caught on. Enacted in immigration reform legislation in 1996, the training program has never been advertised or promoted by the Administration. After a few states initially signed up, the program languished. A turning point seemed to come with the new awareness of our vulnerability that resulted from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The surge in state and local jurisdictions applying for the program has recently grown so fast that the trainers have not been able to keep up and a long waiting list has developed. As a result, according to Stateline News, “…ICE is trying to tamp down demand for 287(g) by promoting other options for local law enforcement, such as gaining access to federal databases to help police fight document fraud and gang activity.”
