Deportation Program Sows Mistrust, U.S. Is Told (illegal aliens, law, crimes)

[All American NYC]

In a report on the program, known as Secure Communities, the task force said that the program had eroded public trust by leading to the detention of many immigrants who had not committed serious crimes, after officials said its aim was to remove “the worst of the worst” immigrant criminals from the United States... local police officials told the task force that the program had eroded trust between them and immigrant communities by leaving the impression that they were engaged in enforcing federal immigration laws. Some communities had become reluctant to report crimes.

What happen to trust in the federal government to enforce our laws?

This so ridiculous. It is like saying well let's let the petty thieves go because afterall there are bank robbers to go after. These "petty thieves" aka illegal aliens just haven't been convicted yet of more serious crimes like the felony of I.D. theft, tax evasions, etc. but we know they are committing these crimes not to mention that they are here in violation of our immigration laws.

So we should allow these criminals to roam freely around our country so they will feel free to report other criminals? God, help this country.

I guess the concept of "resource allocation" is too advanced?

Being illegal in the country is serious since its federal law not to aide an illegal.

I'm glad we've gotten to the point where we are assuming all people residing within immigrant communities are criminals.

Around here the local immigrant population is around 70% illegal but that's beside the point. Your weak attempt to cry racism or discrimination is nothing but hogwash. Why would a legal resident not trust the police?

Probably due to a perceived lack of trustworthiness.

Perhaps police had been treating them all like they were criminals?

Wow, you want to bring up resource allocation to defend letting illegals stay in this country when in reality, resource allocation is the #1 reason to deport them all. Our country's resources should NEVER be used on illegal aliens who come here to steal them.
