Well, it's pretty much an ICE issue.  State and local police in Southern Texas call BP all the time with illegals, and BP picks them up and deports them (rarely, they prosecute them).

Also, unless cops in every other state than TX and AZ are somehow different, they can make arrests on Federal felonies committed in their presence all they want.  They just can't investigate them to any significant extent.  Texas DPS arrests alien smugglers all the time.

Texas DPS arrest smugglers on state laws.  Not immigration violations. Human trafficking.....

State's can pass/enforce laws requiring compliance with federal law.  Just like MGs and countless other issues.  Failure to comply is a violation of state law. That was hard
Labor laws are strictly enforced... Unless you hire illegals on pupose.  Then you can do what ever you want.

We can enforce the national electrical code, building codes, tax codes and DOT federal laws everywhere.... Including with significant local cooperation.

But everyone with a badge washes their hands of this at every level.  Don't we have federal cops here.
Thousands of illegals in a meat packing plant for decades.  You can't find any code enforcement or parallel laws?

Please provide the statutes that they can enforce.  State, County, or Municipal Law Enforcement cannot enforce federal immigration laws.  Just because someone is hiring illegals doesn't mean they are violating other laws.   Your method of thinking sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Those jurisdictions pass legislation and laws that mirror federal law, or require adherence to.  No such law exists in the state legislatures for immigration.  If that's what you want, contact your legislator.  Cops can't just make up laws to enforce.  

Yes, the feds should be enforcing the thousands at a meat packing plant you keep mentioning.

Only the feds can deport Illegal Immigrants.  Law Enforcement can arrest and incarcerate all the damn illegals they can for violations of state or local law.   They will also call ICE until they are blue in the face, but if they choose to not pick them up there isn't a damn thing local/county/state LE can do.   Be prepared to be sued if efforts are made otherwise, especially with the current DOJ.  


You know what a "pretext stop" is?

You can do that with employers, too.

We're here to make sure you have workers' comp insurance (massive fines here for that, if you don't).

State-level "OSHA" agencies are notorious nitpickers as well. Again, MASSIVE fines for all kinds of stupid shit.

Oh, I see you have a lot more employees than your quarterly state employment filings reflect. We're going to need to do an audit of all your financial and payroll records for the last 6 years. Enjoy.


Good Luck with that.

Here's one in my state using local laws and action similar to dbrown1's suggestion.

The only problem is the 287g program was successful, too successful and with the current administrations curtailing of a lot of enforcement it isn't being used.

this is my plan to combat illegal imigration

hire an illegal - $1000 fine
turn in an employer hiring illegals - $500 reward

fines and rewards can be collected and paid by any law enforcement agency

every 6 months the fines and rewards double

i dont think it would take more than 2 years

The local court will fine them or they may sit in jail a few days for 3 hots and a cot.  ICE will be contacted and ask if it is a violent crime.  It isn't so they will come up with a reason to not deport them.  They will be right back outside of Home Depot looking for work.  

For anyone to blame State/County/City law enforcement can pound sand.  This is a Federal Law Enforcement issue and US Dept. of Justice issue.  If you have a problem contact them.

I don't think addicted to cheap labor is the main driving factor around here. Most builders I know would rather pay a little more and deal with a native English speaker (ie white or black American) but still have a more difficult time finding them than they do the Hispanic workers.....

Why shouldn't I go down to home depot and hire some?


Asking this question here is just looking for the GD outrage answer.  It's a circle jerk, or at best, a group Dutch rudder.

People will say for more democrat votes, or to much savings for a politicians landscaping crew.

The honest answer is time, money and shits.  Police don't have enough time, enough resources our enough shits to play ICE.  And the public at large doesn't want to pay the additional taxes to see this effectively enforced.

By a state court in NJ or by a federal court? Just NJ's particular law, or was the effect that pretty much ALL laws of that type were invalidated?

I've never researched this issue because quite frankly loitering laws just don't really matter to me personally or professionally.

At least where I work the feds won't come out or do anything unless it's a violent felony involved and even with this it generally requires multiples.  So they just become a revolving door problem at the jail.  We will arrest on whatever charges we have then call ICE/DHS and much like Extorris said the answer is generally "What do you want me to do?"  with the current administration in the White House over the Department of Justice and DHS I don't see it getting any better any time soon.

Oh wait this is GD I guess it could also be because I'm a lazy cop.

I think the point - or at least, MY point - in all of this, is that if you make life as constantly miserable and expensive as possible for both the illegals and their employers, even if it means massive amounts of "pretext arrests," it will have an effect on the problem. I get the fact that local cops cannot deport people themselves and that ICE doesn't do anything because Obama, but there are plenty of ways to legally fuck with these people and their employers mercilessly to the point that it becomes impossible for them to have a life here.

My point is the employers are already violating local, state and federal laws and are "low hanging fruit" legally.  Easy to prove and lots of legal tools.  Including lots of local and state laws regulating labor, taxes and reporting requirements.  Not to mention government ability to always find a problem when they choose.

It's a lot easier to target big employers than chase 30 million illegals.

Yeah.

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Ask the NJSP how that worked out for them.

Feds should be doing it.  Just like the Feds should be doing immigration issues.

Typical "Police" are City or County workers.

BTW...there are alot of things that the Feds don't want to do and just plain don't.  They claim they're too busy with "other crimes." RIGHT.

The lawsuits and the accompanying civilian complaints is why I left plainclothes, not worth the hassle.

Maybe some places, but All I Know is that I didnt have any mechanism to Charge anyone for anything other than State Charges..Even out of state Warrants..they get arrested under the NJ Statutes as "Fugitive From Justice", the Courts then drop that on transfer to the other Jurisdiction.  The ONLY Instances Im aware of where a State, County or Municipal NJ LEO can charge under federal Statute is if he is a member of a Federal task Force, at which point he's deputized as a Special Deputy US Marshal so he has Federal Powers, or on an even more limited basis, he's attended the Special ICE training Course to handle Arrests for Immigration violations..IIRC they train a couple of hundred per year, and at last count there's probably around 600,000 State, County and Local LEO's  so they should be done sometime in 2350

Well, it's pretty much an ICE issue.  State and local police in Southern Texas call BP all the time with illegals, and BP picks them up and deports them (rarely, they prosecute them).

Also, unless cops in every other state than TX and AZ are somehow different, they can make arrests on Federal felonies committed in their presence all they want.  They just can't investigate them to any significant extent.  Texas DPS arrests alien smugglers all the time.

Arrest =/= charge.  Does NJ not allow for citizen's arrest either?

Proactive unit.
Got sued for incidents that happened on my day off and another when I was on vacation. Both complaints made along with the lawsuits stayed in my file permanently and were held against me when I put in for a transfer. No thanks, ROD.

DPS turns aliens over to BP without any state charge constantly.  They have hundreds of troopers who do nothing else (well, they also give out speeding tickets while looking for illegals).  I have never seen even a single smuggler tried under state law.  Hell, I've never even seen one detained overnight if BP wouldn't come pick him up.  Well, unless he's got expired/suspended license.  Then they take the vehicle before they let him go.
