That’s not necessarily true. In Arizona, at least, public safety takes priority over immgration policy. Police will not act, or inform, the INS except in situations that involve arrest of the illegal (for anything BUT being an illegal alien).

I believe SDPD have taken the same stance because of budget concerns.

I do remember them (SDPD) wanting to take some federal funds but it required INS type enforcement and SDPD said “forget it… we are not devoting resources to that”.

Now I know someone will make the arguement that illegals will not call the cops for fear of this but most illegals figure out the system pretty quickly.

Funny you should choose Arizona as an example.

Joe Arpaio, the sheriff in Maricopa county, is notorious for sending out his deputies on immigration sweeps, to the point of pissing off the feds. Not only has he notified the INS of arrests having nothing to do with any crime other than immigration status, he has entire teams of deputies that are specially trained to do just that. The feds (I think it was DHS) actually rescinded some of his authority in immigration cases, because his violations of their rules were so outrageous.

There may be some areas of the country where Jose could feel safe calling the cops, but Maricopa county sure isn’t one of them.

the other risk anywhere is that if you call the cops, there is always the possibility that you might be arrested; once in jail, it is possible for the INS to put a hold on you, and you get deported. Even if the police really didn’t round up illegals, calling the police can be risky.
