You have a point, but let's deal with reality--the simple fact is that the illegals in that part of the country will be Hispanic. (In my city they will often be Irish).

Isn't the police's job to make sure that, in a part of the country where there is massive illegal immigration, to use common sense to try to make it less appetizing for illegal actions to occur there? In the reality-based world, what kind of people are ruining it for the legally-admitted folks?

We can do what we know, based on fact, will make it less appealing for illegals to come in. Or we can throw up our hands and say "We can't be mean or let the police have the power to enforce the law."

The reality is this is blatantly unconstitutional and the conservatives who support it are hypocrites for doing so. The accuse the RATS for cherry picking what amendments they like and don't like, yet support this, its hypocrisy at its finest.

Its the job of the police, local law enforcement to investigate local crimes and respond to complaints of local crimes. Not to become a de facto arm of the federal government. The illegal immigration problem is a failing of federal law enforcement. If the federal law enforcement apparatus cannot handle it, then what makes us think that turning local LE lose on the problem will fare any better?
