#1 Numerous police services give possible illegals a bye because of the time factor in arrest, booking, and detention. Federal compensation for each process, is warranted. Too bad that a catastrophe has to occur before it happens.

#2 Yes, but have one of those illegals shot and kill or wound an officer and the whole department will be out there after him. Wound or kill a civilian, well, they're do the usual all points routine. Must be why my sympathy meter pegs a little lower than it used to.

#3 Miami Police Chief John Timoney, an Irish immigrant himself

Legal? If not, then his history of law-breaking should have disqualified him from any job in law enforcement. If so, then his inability to distinguish between law-abiding and law-breaking should disqualify him from any job in law enforcement.

#4 this PC bullshit has gotta stop. If they won't comply, cut off ALL their federal funds. Miami can stew in their own crime

#5 Check today's Pearls Before Swine comic. (I don't know how to put the picture in here or even in its own post, but it fits this topic.)

#6 The issue arose briefly toward the end of the meeting, when one advocate asked why officers call immigration if the database shows the person is wanted by immigration.

Asked and answered. How stupid can one be.

#7 Lots of big city police depts. look the other way on immigration status on the grounds that no one will talk to them if they start enforcing the law.
A sign, I guess, of how out of control the problem is.

#8 A real problem is the damned SOB's from ICE. They won't come pick the illegals up. Totally overcrowds local jails. F**king ICE crying they don't have enough beds to house illegals. Put them in pens like Jo Arpaio. If these useless f**kers can't figure a work around, fire them.There's lotsa folks looking for work who can figure it out. This useless f**k Chertoff is a real weenie. A total loser. Get Arpaio in there and you'll see more happen in one week than this loser and the blockhead previous to him have accomplished in six years.
