Cops to enforce Immigration?

G'day everyone!

I was reading a commentary on CNN today. The writer of it is very opposed to having police officers to enforce immigration policies on illegal immigrants.

Here's the article: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/22/navarrette/index.html.

Now, let me say this folks, Police officers are often the first responders to such incidents anywhere in the nation. They put their very lives on the line. But when it comes to catching criminals and non-criminals, they have a job to do.

Navarrette is all about PRO-Illegal immigration! He wants illegal immigrants to try to get into the USA, find a way to get the "green card" by every means possible, so that the Immigration and Naturalization Services (that's INS, folks) can't send them back home.

But you know what? Navarrette is wrong. When you are an illegal immigrant, you just BROKE the law of legal immigration. That means, all of your chances of gaining the American dream have just gone out of the way the moment your crossed into the USA illegally. Thousands of you are here illegally. It's upsetting the American quality of life.

Every day, there are more than a 1000 of LEGAL immigrants who come through the offical legal channels in the right way. They go through a CLEAR background check. They get a shot of becoming a REAL american citizen. They take the pledge of allegence to say "yes, I will honor, support, defend, and DIE for my country against the people who INVADE my country.".

Reality is clear. Illegal immigrants are invading the country! Should we start taking up guns and start to shoot them to force them BACK to where they came from? NO. But we should call the cops with tips of who's here ILLEGALLY. Police have the right to detain illegal people from escaping and turning them over to the INS to process them for deportation.

Some of illegal immigrants are people with a criminal background history. Some of them, very violent. Let me give you an example.
A few weeks ago, there was an illegal immigrant that lived in a home of a friend of his. His home was owned by landlord. When the landlord found out that the illegal immigrant lived there.. he called INS. They picked this guy up, processed him, found out his crminal background, and deported him. This happend twice.
The third time, this guy got into the USA illegally, came all the way back to where his friend stayed. Then, he killed not only his friend, but his friend's landlord. Lucky, his landlord got on 911 fast before he died. Now this illegal immigrant is sitting in a death row cell. He awaits the day he'll be put to death. But that's on hold due to the high court's decision on the death penalty. This illegal immigrant smiles and says "I got a comfortable place now. I'm not going anywhere. I finally got a "dream home" being paid by tax payers.

If that doesn't scare you, then what does? Cops are the first responders. If they catch illegal immigrants before the INS does, then good job police! Illegal immigrants are a threat to national security. And if in the very day another 9/11 type incident happens, let's hope these illegal immigrants know that they better find some good "witnesses" to vouch for them because that'll be very hard to do. God help this nation.
