"Well the least we could do is get the INS to allow the local police to turn illegals in and then ship them back to wherever they came from. Thats not happening now."
The INS has no problem with this. Local politicians forbid their police from cooperating with the INS.
Gov. Napolitano in AZ has just released details on an initiative to set up DPS teams partnered with Customs and Immigration officers.
Their purpose is to pick up and hold illegal aliens apprehended by local LEOs in Arizona towns and cities. The stated goal is to end the catch and release phenomenon we are seeing now in jurisdictions all along our southern border.
I suspect this is a reelection ploy, but if it works...I'm all for it.
