Here's the latest on the local outrage situation:
Friday Morning 11/9 9am
A Rally to Support Enforcement of Illegal Immigration Laws
The people of Tucson who oppose the addition of a policy that states TPD (Tucson Police Dept) cannot call immigration authorities to schools or churches (TUSD Policy 2119) are getting together Friday morning to show support that they want this policy removed. They also want confirmation that TPD will call immigration authorities whenever an arrest is made of an illegal immigrant, regardless of location. During the rally they will march to TPD.

The policy? When police officers are called to a TUSD school to deal with a suspect (student) who has broken the law and find that suspect is an illegal alien, the police officers are NOT ALLOWED to call the immigration officials.
Can you believe this? The LEGAL and taxpaying citizens of our city are having to rally and sign a petition so that the police officers can work with the immigration officials to enforce our laws. We do have immigration laws, right? And those laws should be enforced?
This situation isn't where the police officers and immigration officials are RAIDING law-abiding people. This is a situation where someone has BROKEN a law. And has broken a second law because they are illegal. TWO laws broken!
The local talk radio station brought up something interesting. Here in Arizona we have "red light" cameras at specific intersections. When someone runs a red light, the cameras in the intersection will take a photo of the driver AND a photo of their license plate. Then a ticket along with the photos are mailed to that person. For a legal citizen, that ticket is routed to the right place. But an illegal alien? They oftentimes have a Mexican license plate, so the ticket isn't mailed out. So these folks don't even have to PAY the fine! ARGH!
It's amazing how outraged folks are about the situation. But what's interesting is that there is hasn't been much national coverage on this issue. Maybe after this rally there will be some interest about it. Maintaining our borders. Allowing the enforcement agencies to work together.
