Ok. U.S. Immigration policy is messed up!

Recently, I got to go on a ride-along with police officers, in a local jurisidiction. Anyway, at one point, the officers were dispatched to a domestic dispute involving two people, one of whom spoke little English and the other who apparently spoke no English. This is not a hotel that I'm talking about here. That suggests that they are not tourists. This is an apartment complex, which suggests that they intend long term residence. One person speaks very little English and the other speaks no English which suggests that they are not United States citizens. By very little English, I mean the police had to call in an officer that spoke Spanish to translate.

Guess what the catch is? The cops cannot even ask them for their immigration papers, to determine whether or not they are violating United States law. Well, that kinda sucks. It's racial profiling to ask someone that doesn't speak English and is living in an apartment for immigration papers. Heaven forbid. If they do, they'd probably get sued by the ACLU or some moonbat because they are "abusing" the poor migrant worker that just wants to live and work in peace.

As we saw from 9/11, the INS is fairly incompetent at catching people that don't really want to follow the law. Doesn't it make sense that we allow local cops, since they have the most contact with the public, to ask about immigration papers? It would only enhance our capabilities of locating illegal immigrants by a few hundred thousand officers or so, so it's not too big of a deal.

I've always suspected something about the ACLU...
