to with 911 stuff?<

I tend to agree, but immigration laws are more and more becoming a local

enforcement problem, and some of that will naturally branch out and cause

problems for Dispatchers and 9-1-1 Centers.

More and more jails will begin screening all foreign-born arrestees for

federal immigration violations.

More and more communities will pass immigration-related ordinances, and all

of this will be a huge challenge, and raise many problems for law

enforcement.

Example:

son County TN screens all foreign-born arrestees for federal

immigration violations. Over the Memorial day weekend 299 persons were

physically arrested and brought to Metro jail for booking. Preliminary

figures from the Sheriff’s Office show that 66 of those individuals—or 22

percent of the total—were born outside the United States.

While the ratio of foreign-born persons arrested is usually around 10

percent, over the Memorial Day weekend it jumped to 22 percent. And the

majority of those arrested came into contact with police initially over

traffic violations.

If there is a steady and lasting rise in the number of foreign-born persons

arrested as a percentage of the entire arrestee population there will be

charges of racial profiling...

Cities across the U.S. are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars

defending themselves against lawsuits and other challenges to ordinances

enacted to keep out illegal immigrants.

More than 90 cities or counties around the country have proposed, passed or

rejected laws prohibiting landlords from leasing to illegal immigrants,

penalizing businesses that employ undocumented workers or training police to

enforce immigration laws.

Approval of these anti-illegal immigration ordinances has generated

criticism, demonstrations and lawsuits in Valley Park, Mo.; Riverside, N.J.;

Escondido, Calif.; Hazleton, Pa., and the Dallas suburb of Farmers Branch.

In one way or another... you're eventually going to be dealing with

immigration law...
