Quote:Uh..... You don't think a papers please immigration policy would be considered racist by those that are being profiled?


Also, why do you need to triple a task force if all they are doing is the same job local law enforcement can or could already do?


You're basically creating storm troopers to go around and try to round up anyone that looks like they may be undocumented.


Again, if you're cool with them being here as long as they aren't braking the law, the tripling the number of ice agents is redundant and a waste of tax payer money.


Cops are already arresting people that are breaking the law.


The whole thing sounds fascist and clearly set out to harass anyone that may "look" like a Mexican.

 

No, I do not.  It is already being done to one extent or another in border communities.  They call them "translation calls" to the Border Patrol.  It's not a "all brown people must carry proof of citizenship thing."  That would be unconstitutional.  It's a reasonable suspicion thing.  If you can't speak English, in law enforcement it's called a clue... And it usually means that the person wasn't born in the United States... Which would justify further questioning by immigration authorities.

 

It's not just ICE Agents that need additional manpower/resources.  Its ICE Deportation Officers, Immigration Judges, Marshals, Marshals DEOs, Marshals AEOs, Correctional Officers and all mission support staff for these positions.  Not counting the massive amount of facilities that need to be added to actually enforce immigration law.
