Can I make a citizen's arrest and arrest an illegal alien?

If I caught someone robbing a bank and tackled them and held them down until the police got there I would be a hero.

If I nabbed a child predator I would be praised by everyone(except Nambla.)

So why would it be any different if I made an arrest of an illegal alien. They have committed a felony already.
What if we all nabbed an illegal this week?
We could clean up this mess in no time.

My guess is that somehow I would be charged with a crime for violating rights that the alien does not even have.

Answer:
You can do that and more in Arizona. Our Sheriff Joe arrests them and has encouraged the public to report those that are illegal.
Chee is old and ugly. Here's her actual photo..

Profiling is illegal! Duh

<Thats not Chee!> Chee gots Black hair and Brown big eyes with an Amazing rear and chest Duh!

Then we should deport you for looking like a w et back?
Don't touch them. If they are here illegally then they haven't had a health check.

Report to ICE
(866) 347-2423 option 1.
you've made a very good point. we need you for president.

edit: did bush not say police officers can pull anyone over for suspicion? this was after 9/11. why can't they do the same if they expect someone being illegal. they question possible terrorist, why can't they question a possible illegal?
Looks like you racist bigots are continuing to make delirious, bizarre, know it all, arrogant solutions that are just confusing you all more and more.
If memory serves me, you have to have direct knowledge that a crime has been committed in order to make a citizen's arrest. You may have suspicion that somebody is an illegal alien, but that won't get you very far in court. Having grown up on the border, we used to spot the illegals and turn them into the Border Patrol or San Diego P.D.
if you did that i'd say"now he's the man" but
i'm sure the ACLU would pee in their pants trying to find a charge against you..
Another idiotic attempt to feel superior.
lol...hahahaha

"What if we all nabbed an illegal this week!"...lolol.


omg...i got tears in my eyes...

seriously though...if you know they are an illegal alien...then why not?
no, someone wanted to do that in front of me to someone i know, and the police say no, we don't do that here, people here are free. that police man was cool.
You would be guilty. You cannot just walk up to a person and demand to see an identification proving who he is. That is a job for law enforcement, not private citizens and you would be violating several laws concerning privacy, assault and others.

So, without having proof that the person is indeed here illegally, there is nothing you can do.

Leave them alone, stop worrying about them. If the government doesn't give a rat, why should you. You cannot do anything about the current situation - only the government can...and they won't.

They haven't done anything for over 60 years except grant amnesty every 20 years or so..Government knows that their Best Friends - big business, corporate America, agribusinesses, farmers and other depend upon this cheap labor force and have for many years. The government is not about to overturn the applecart.
Sounds like that might be the only way to deal with these criminals!
Bush won't do it!
As if you can arrest anyone. You'll get your *** kicked into your trailer park in no time, amigo.
Why not , they broke the law sneaking in our country , whats` wrong with you breaking the law to send them and their flags back to their country ? For all the people that disagreed with you , then I think they should be the ones required to support their care and concern for the ILLEGALS by having their taxes raised and their Social Security retirement benefits donated to the ILLEGALS !
No even though thats how they do it in Mexico and the pro illegals call it racist if you were to try it here.
they would probably kiss the illegals butt and apologize but if people started doing this it would cause a stir and maybe give the government a push to get off their fat rich butts and do somthing about the illegal problem
