Alright, I'm tired of defending things I haven't said, and your disjointed response is like a girlfriend trying to score argument points by bringing up that time you farted in bed two years ago.

I'll leave you to your short bus.

Cop out if you must, that's your prerogative.

Which quite conveniantly does not seem to dictate that you yourself act like one. You make comment after comment like you have actual conviction, then refuse to back them up. Funny that you would engage in this tit for tat while refusing to address the initial issues. It's not like I'm the first person to call you out on this, even in this thread alone.

Honestly...
If you weren't so busy being smarmy about these topics you might surprise yourself once in a while.

Well, it gets a bit more complicated than that, but you're correct that it isn't the LAPD's role to deport known illegal immigrants (in fact Special Order 40 does not even permit the LAPD to make inquiries regarding an arrestee's immigration status). As has been determined by the Supreme Court, however, local and state law enforcement agencies have the capacity to arrest illegal immigrants and report them to ICE solely because they're found to be illegal, though it isn't federally mandated that they do so.

To be specific, the illegal you're talking about wasn't arrested in Los Angeles county, so Special Order 40 did not apply in this case, not that it really matters (he had committed prior crimes and served jail time as you said).

OK, everybody keeps quoting my first post about the illegal who killed someone after being let out of jail but my second post clarifies what I was trying to say and still want to say as below..

Oh, but I'm not. not at all. I realize the vast majority are just here for the jobs and to try to make a better life. Who can blame them? But the reason I noted that particular incident is that the murder could have been prevented had the police done their job. ..Ok, I know you're going to say its not the police's job,but the point is, what harm could it do if they just turned over illegals who commit crimes to the INS? I'm not even talking about conducting raids on illegal workers here, but simply deport those who HAVE commited a crime.

The last sentence is what I'm getting at here, and while I realize that legal immigrants and natural born citizens commit crimes. What possible reason could there be to not deport illegals who commit crimes especially violent crimes? Is there some reason we need to keep convicted illegals here even if they have done their time?

Sorry but if immigrants are going to come into our country against the law I'm going to call them what they are ..Illegal immigrants. There is nothing derogatory or racist about the term, it simply describes their status. If they don't want to be called that, don't come here illegally.
