Can someone kindly explain the liberal logic behind the directive which distinguishes between suspects who are drunk drivers or potential felons and those who are not? What is the logic behind permitting the police to question the former about their immigration status but not the latter? Why can the police question someone who might have a blood-alcohol count as low as 0.09 about his immigration but not if his alcohol count is 0.07?

Does the right of privacy turn on the alleged wrongdoing? I thought privacy was privacy. What is private about immigration status anyway? Why cannot the police question anyone about immigration whom they otherwise are entitled to question? Cannot the government randomly question any taxpayer about his tax status? Do not these tax inquiries routinely expose the most intimate affairs of our citizens? Cannot the police question any driver about his drivers license status? The insurance on his vehicle? The registration of his vehicle?

If a policeman has a right to stop a citizen even for a petty offense, why can he not also questione him about his immigration status? If one distinguishes questions about drivers licenses because that is a "privilege" and not a right, what about ownership of a vehicle is that not a right and not a privilege? what difference do these distinctions make? What value is being preserved?

Why is there a culture which suggests that it is somehow improper for the police to enforce immigration laws while they are enforcing other laws? Why should a criminal who commits only petty crimes be immune from questioning about his immigration status when he would not be immune if he allegedly committed a more serious crime? How did these artificial procedural regulations become more important than the enforcement of the law itself? This is hardly a Miranda situation to prevent police beating confessions out of innocent subjects. This is merely a referral of someone who is or is not an illegal immigrant with an adjudication to follow de novo by a different federal agency.

We routinely allow police to question individuals on any number of grounds. Why is immigration status so sacred?

Why as our society come to the place where an Attorney General of a State utters a written directive to her law enforcement subordinates which effectively enshrines political correctness?

In 60 percent of the cases studied, the individuals said they were stopped for minor violations such as rolling through a stop sign or drinking in public.

Well there ya go. (In other news, Seton Hall Law students reported that all of the prison inmates they interviewed said they were wrongfully convicted.)

Even IF the gathered "facts" of the study are indeed factual, the conclusions drawn from them are non-sensical. ICE's failure to act on 90% of the referrals sent to it is hardly proof of legal status. If anything, it's evidence of willful ineptitude.

..... the director of CATA, a farmworkers support organization said his group's members are mostly Hispanic............

Illegals on US soil are dual citizens who swear allegiance---first and foremost---to their home countries. We need to see the CATA's emails and cell phone records to determine when they get their orders from the Mexican government.

The frauds just keep on a-coming.....thanks to the conniving Mexican government.

==================================

Cong TOM TANCREDO relates his conversation with Juan Hernandez (Hernandez was McC's Hispanic outreach rep). Hernandez is a dual citizen and headed the Mexican govt's **Ministry of Mexicans Living in the United States. ** Hernandez said the purpose of the Mexican govt agency was:

(1) to increase the flow of Mexican nationals to the US to serve Mexico’s needs;

(2) to increase transfers of $50 billion a year (30% of the Mexican GDP);

(3) to alleviate Mexican social instability, and,

(4) to get free training for Mexicans who are expected to repatriate the skills (paid for by US citizens) back to Mexico.

Hernandez supports amnesty. Hernandez told Tancredo: "By populating the US with millions of Hispanics who are tied economically, politically and linguistically to Mexico, we are able to exert enormous influence and pressure on U.S. policy and its dealings with Mexico."

Obama's treacherous plan to award US citizenship to illegals is a con game. Illegals are dual citizens, and swear allegiance to their home countries. THEY INTEND TO RETURN THERE----AFTER THEY DRAIN THE US TREASURY.
