Should police in all states be allowed go make immigrant arrests?

I just watched this in the news, what do you think. Do you agree that this could protect US citizens or is this just another excuse to turn the US into a police state.

Should be required to is more to the point.

I was talking to a friend in the USAF, he says they arrest people all the time because they come up as illegals when they run their ID at the gate, people who are there to deliver something or pick something up or whatever. They hold them and call the INS (BCIS or whatever they are today) and tell them to come get their illegal, the INS just says to let them go, they can't be bothered to come get them.

Two and a half years until I can apply for citizenship... tick tock, tick tock.

As a legal permanent resident alien who went through the vast cost of immigrating legally (five years on low pay as an H1 slave) I think you (we) should arrest and deport all illegals.

Well since police uphold the law and entering the US illegally is a crime why cant they? especially if closing the borders is the most important thing right now

Absolutely, they should gather them up and ship them out. They are costing our country untold tax dollars.

Police are called "sworn officers", meaning they have sworn to uphold the law and arrest all violators. There is no distinction drawn between crimes.

The police take an oath to uphold the laws of the United States. This should mean ALL laws.

If we don't want a police state, just start ELIMINATING some laws. The CFR's for the Fed's is huge enough. When you add on state and local laws, it becomes unmanageable.

BTW, some estimates show ILLEGAL immigrants take $5,000.00 per person more out of the system than they put in.

If you mean illegal immigrants, why not? They have committed a crime.

All police officers take an oath to uphold all laws federal as well as local. All officers can make said arrests and I think should. Some local governments do not want to pay the freight for the amount of paperwork of consider themselves to be sanctuary cities and are ordering their police not to make those arrests. However, such orders are technique a violation of the law. It is called aiding and abetting!


Sane
Yes. Its an excellent idea. They are law enforcement officers and should be able to enforce the law.

I am very sure most of the Americans would be happy to kick immigrants out especially if they are latino, arabs or asians, is just the american way... America is the most Xenophobic country in the world

I think they should only be allowed if they have solid proof that those immigrants are illegal, other than that no.

If they are illegal immigrants then every citizen should be able to bring them in dead or alive.


Raven
Why would they arrest immigrants. It's not illegal to be an immigrant. We give entry to many immigrants.

actually, almost every single law enforcement officer has no desire to enforce immigration laws. they'd probably ignore the law like most of them do with the pot laws


danksprite420
ehhhh.
I think police are given too much authority as is.

I don't think it is a good idea, like you said it is just an excuse to turn the US into a police state, they are going to give the police more power and I'm not sure they know how to handle it, I'm an immigrant, were you talking about illegal immigrants??


Hidden Track
They arrest them and send them to jail but what i don't like is the fact that the police beat them.
