Houston says they do not want the police to arrest illegals since its racial profiling do illegals have?

Question

Houston says they do not want the police to arrest illegals since its racial profiling do illegals have any laws which apply to them ? White, who is running for U.S. Senate, now appears to be backing away from the program, saying ICE officials were “bureaucratic” in the negotiations. Vincent Picard, an ICE spokesman, declined comment on the Houston negotiations.

“Rather than letting us simply write the agreements on our own terms, they want to put language in there that we object to,” White said. “We don't want anything that creates obligations on the part of the city, or that would be inconsistent with our policies not to divert patrol officers from solving crimes.”

White said this week that he has not eliminated the possibility of participating in 287(g) on the city's terms, but would prefer to participate in another ICE program instead. That program, “Secure Communities,” gives local law enforcement agencies access to a massive immigration database to check suspects' immigration history.

White said that unlike 287(g), the Secure Communities program would require “no special agreement” with DHS or cost nearly as much. City officials had estimated 287(g) would cost an estimated $1.5 million to $2 million a year to operate and require training for 22 police officers and two supervisors in Houston's jails.

However, the city so far lacks the technical capability to directly access ICE's immigration database. White said he plans to have the technical problems resolved before the end of year, when he leaves office. Immigration screening in the city jails likely will be a key issue for Houston's mayoral candidates, who are vying to replace White in January.

White is expected to take some heat for backing off of 287(g), which is under review by DHS and has sparked protests locally and nationally. The program has been criticized by some members of Congress and immigrant advocates as being vulnerable to racial profiling and lacking oversight by ICE.

Locally, the program's opponents praised the mayor's decision. Cesar Espinosa, a Houston immigrant advocate who has organized protests against the program, said he was “definitely happy” that the mayor was shying away from having city's jailers trained as immigration agents, calling 287(g) “flawed.”

Some supporters of the program expressed dismay but not surprise about the mayor's position, accusing him of playing politics.

“I didn't think he meant it out of the shoot,” Larry Youngblood, a member of Texans for Immigration Reform, said of White's request last spring. “He's pretty much a political animal.”

Geez! you are really throwing out some really bad twists on these stories today honey.



Look up the meaning of "Racial Profiling" and you'll know how that's been pushed right into immigration enforcement with 287g.



This even happend after some changes. So that tells us that it's really bad.



Racial Profiling Claimed, despite 287(g) Changes



(APN) LILBURN -- About 200 citizens gathered at Our Lady of the Americas Catholic Mission in Gwinnett County Saturday, August 01, 2009, to share and discuss racial profiling issues and local enforcement of federal civil immigration laws.



Advocates claim that racial profiling, particularly under the controversial 287(g) program, persists, despite efforts by US Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and others to modify the program in recent months.
