xmarine... who care about the police? who said anything about em... we all know they are only good for writing tickets and rounding up people that get snitched off.....
You are suggesting an agressive law enforcment solution, and I'm telling you that the quirky politically correct rules that are in place exclude state sworn police and local courts from being involved.... The local law enforcment guys who patrol the streets and are in perfect posisition to make a difference, are not allowd to.
While the Feds are chasing them down, LAPD would be kicking back handing out hotel vouchers to the ones that get away... that system, they way it is, will FAIL.
The massively bloated Federal Government police dont have the manpower, local knowledge, or enough courts to do anything but make examples of a select few, to make headlines, before moving on. I dont see the FBI driving marked cars down Burbank Blvd rousting illegals every day.
And as soon as the Feds move on, the illegals will be right back out on the corner flipping the bird at the local gendarme... they know damm well a Federal cop can arrest em, but the local cops cant.
Ever been to Federal court?, it's slow, inefficient, bloated, and already choking.. plus its not set up for mass bookings or dealing with volumes of people. Who will transport the illegals to court?, where will they be jailed?.. it wont be the local Sheriffs Dept, nor can they be held in local jails on Federal immigration charges. We'll need new Federal jails, an entire infrastructure of buses, guards and a revamping of the Fed court system to aggressively go after and process illegals.
My solution is screw what the activists want and let the local cop on the beat enforce the law, its just stupid to exclude State law enforcement resources. I put more admitted illegals in jail than you can imagine, not 1 was ever kicked out, even after being through the local court system numerous times. A clear sign the system in place is broken.
Maybe it will cause illegals to not report crimes, fear the police, become perfect victims for criminals and all that.... and thats ok, send the message to all hopeful illegals that just because you made it here, its not an "illegal friendly" place and you will be hunted down and kicked out.
