Fla Sheriff has great idea, should it be the practice nationwide?
Those who take off are chased down and arrested on charges such as trespassing, for cutting through someone else's property, or loitering, for hiding out in someone's yard, or reckless driving, for speeding off in a car.
U.S. immigration authorities are then given the names of those believed to be in this country illegally.
"It's not wrong for them to run, but it's not wrong for us to chase them either," said Sheriff Frank McKeithen, who created his Illegal Alien Task Force in April to target construction sites in this Florida Panhandle county.
Immigrant advocates say the technique is repugnant, and the ACLU says its constitutionality is questionable.
Illegal immigrants are leaving town.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Answer:
Actually the tactic has been used all over Florida...and for another good reason too...many of these construction workers are doing jobs without state certifications and required insurance, which is illegal and they also keep scams down which has been a problem here in Florida especially after Hurricanes. So in essense, they are killing several birds with one stone...
Mission accomplished?
I don't think so.
Keep dreaming.
to spass: Miami is is like 70% hispanic, so you can keep dreaming too.
YEAH! They won't be able to work in Florida!!
To lemonitmutton: I live in Miami. DUH!
I like it.But with the slow down is the housing market they might even run back across the border soon. That would even be much better.
I wish the rest of Florida would do the same! And get these damn illegals out of here.
Should be!
and people wonder why people hate cops...
