Obama Administration Looking To Hamstring Ability Of Local Cops To Arrest Illegal Immigrants

Proof • July 12, 2009

Because they’re afraid federal law empowering local law enforcement to arrest illegals is, *gasp*, leading to racial profiling!

The Department of Homeland Security said Friday it was revising a program that authorized local police to enforce federal immigration law — a controversial aspect of U.S. border policy.
Opponents said the program, known as 287g, was intended to identify criminal aliens but instead has led to racial profiling; it allowed local police to identify and arrest illegal immigrants for such minor infractions as a broken tail light. Program supporters said it has been an effective tool for combating illegal immigration.
The new guidelines sharply reduce the ability of local law enforcement to arrest and screen suspected illegal immigrants. They are intended to prevent sheriff and police departments from arresting people “for minor offenses as a guise to initiate removal proceedings,” according to Homeland Security. The program will instead focus on more serious criminals.

If the worse thing that’s happening is cops pulling over people they suspect of being illegal immigrants for minor, but real, infractions like broken tail lights…well where’s the problem? The rest of us Americans get pulled over for minor traffic offenses. Over the 4th of July weekend I got pulled over for going just 5mph over the speed limit. Ticky tacky? Sure. But I was, in fact, exceeding the speed limit. And if, upon verifying my identification for the purposes of writing me a ticket, the cop had discovered that I am in this country illegally what would have been the problem with that?
The real goal here isn’t protecting people from police harassment but rather hamstringing good faith efforts to get people who are breaking the law by their very presence in this country back to where they belong. The suggestion of police harassment, and the not-so-subtle accusation of racism among our law enforcement officers, is just a disguise for that ulterior motive.

Right because Homeland Security means hamstringing law enforcement.

After verbally abusing Tom Tom & Mudcat for their white supremacist commentary, perhaps I should start this one off with my p.o.v. If you’re here illegally, you need to be deported, don’t care if you’re Irish, German or any other flavor of European, some sort of African, some sort of central or southern American, or a Pacific rimmer. If you’re here illegally, you need to be sent back to where you came from, then come back following our rules to immigrate.

That bull matron, Janet Napolitano, is incapable of securing anything!

I can’t say that I didn’t see this coming…

The way I see it: BHO, Napolitano, McCain, GHWB, GWB et al are TRAITORS to the USA just as RR was when he signed the ’86 amnesty. I dismissed RR permanently when he signed that & I have done the same w/ the latest batch of TRAITORS. BTW, back in ’86 JUST LIKE NOW “they” are saying that AMNESTY will “fix” the “immigration problem” & that it will NOT be needed/done again…WRONG/LYING IN ’86 JUST LIKE NOW.

Of course, since McCain & possibly BHO were NOT actually born in the USA nor were naturalized maybe they’re not TECHNICALLY traitors but STILL if they are going to be in the USA govt then they need to PROTECT the SOVEREIGNTY of the USA period!!!

As I’ve stated before, I have ZERO TOLERANCE for INVADERS (of ANY KIND) & ZERO TOLERANCE for those that CHOOSE to CHOOSE INVADERS over USA Sovereignty. Invaders are an insult to natural born citizens AND AN EVEN BIGGER INSULT to those that PROPERLY (properly meaning I do NOT count those that were given what I consider ILLEGAL AMNESTY in ’86) BECAME NATURALIZED CITIZENS.
==========
Now directly to the topic @ hand…
I wonder what BHO & cohorts would do if local jurisdictions stopped arresting ppl for ANY FEDERAL CRIME & left it all up to the feds…lets say the laws against TERRORIST ACTS including those attempted/committed against any members of any of the 3 fed govt branches when they happen to be in their jurisdiction…same concept. As far as I know, ALL law enforcement personnel from the feds on down to local beat cops swear an oath to uphold the laws of the UNITED STATES…& yepper, that would including broken headlights & immigration laws.
==========
I would Still like to know (well Actually I DO know why but to set up my point) why there weren’t cries from those that despise “racial profiling” back when the “belt-way snipers” were on the loose & then got caught…the PROFILE was that the perp(s) were WHITE males but it ended up that the perps were black muzzie males…OOOPS. Now, I don’t actually blame the authorities for that B/C statically speaking 99%+ (short of 100%) of serial murderers ARE white males. And I DESPISE ALL INVADERS REGARDLESS of their country of origin, however, it is a STATICAL fact that the MAJORITY of INVADERS are Hispanic.

Profiling doesn’t work 100% of the time, HOWEVER, it IS a KEY tool in many different types of cases…like the vast majority of serial murderers ARE NOT NON-WHITES OR FEMALES. When working a case of any kind ALL available tools need to be used including profiling when needed. Now that does NOT mean that when looking for serial murderers that you COMPLETELY ignore non-whites/females if something pops-up to indicate that a specific case is different from the norm…same w/ immigration status.

Yes, I know that my “pointy ears” & “green skin” are showing again but I can’t help it…LOGIC IS LOGIC & needs to be followed but apparently the urge to protect INVADERS is overriding logic in the minds of BHO & etc.

Napolitano is actually encouraging lawbreaking. The fact remains if someone is pulled over for a broken tail light and it is discovered that subject is not of legal status they should be detained untill the Border Patrol and or ice comes and gets them. I am so sick and tired of Janet Napolitano she is a horrible pick to lead the department of homeland security.

Joe Arpaio is a solid citizen and we need more sheriff’s and sheriff’s departments like his. The funny thing is that Arpario is attacked by the left all of the time and they keep coming after him and he still does his job.

The most active local enforcer has been Joe Arpaio, the sheriff of Arizona’s Maricopa County. He said Friday he would continue pursuing illegal immigrants, arguing that state laws allow neighborhood crime sweeps and worksite raids.

“If I’m told not to enforce immigration law except if the alien is a violent criminal, my answer to that is we are still going to do the same thing, 287g or not,” said Mr. Arpaio. His deputies have identified in jail or picked up on the streets more than 30,000 illegal immigrants in the Phoenix area. “We have been very successful,” said the five-term sheriff.
