The Unreported Crime of Illegal Immigration
by Big Dog on Nov 14, 2007 at 07:33 Immigration
The City of San Francisco has decided to give ID cards to residents including those who are here ILLEGALLY. On Tuesday the Board of Supervisors voted to issue municipal ID cards to residents regardless of their immigration status. As with all these feel good ILLEGAL immigrant pandering schemes, the basis is public safety (reporting crimes). According to the people who are in favor of this it will bring the ILLEGALS out of the shadows and they will not be afraid to report crime. Ignoring the idea that ILLEGALS commit crimes that they will probably not report, why does anyone think this will help and why do they care if crime is reported?
“People are afraid to report crimes,” Ammiano said, referring to illegal immigrants who avoid local law enforcement authorities over fear of being arrested or deported by federal immigration officials. SF Gate
Places that pander to ILLEGALS have no regard for the law. They are perfectly willing to issue ID cards and driver’s licenses to ILLEGALS to bring them out of the shadows and make them unafraid to report crime and yet these same officials ignore the crime that the ILLEGALS committed to get here. Why are they so interested in ILLEGALS reporting criminal acts when they are reluctant to act upon the ILLEGAL act of entering this country in violation of the law?
What these officials are saying to ILLEGALS is; “we will ignore the crimes you have committed if you report the crimes others have committed.” The other thing to consider is, if these officials are so worried about crimes being reported why do they refuse to allow city workers to report ILLEGALS to immigration officers? Why do they do everything they possibly can to shield ILLEGALS from the law but assist them in reporting others who have broken the law?
This is a stupid idea. Certain types of identification cards are used for all kinds of access. Driver’s licenses are used to board aircraft, to gain access to certain buildings and to register to vote. Registering to vote when one is not eligible to vote is a crime! The politicians seem to have a mindset of selective law enforcement doing everything they can to shield ILLEGALS from the law while using them to report other crimes.
Imagine the irony of an ILLEGAL reporting some crime committed by a citizen. That citizen will have to face the legal system while a person who is not here legally reported him. This ILLEGAL will not have to answer for his crimes and can continue living here ILLEGALLY while sucking the resources out of the American taxpayer.
I say that if they want people to report crime then have citizens report people who are here ILLEGALLY. Along with the report comes the responsibility of government to act upon the information. Until they start doing that, how can anyone take them seriously?

Ironic, this was the first thing I read on drudge this morning and I posted on it also (posted before doing visits or I wouldn’t have had to). Your piece is much better than mine though 🙂

If somebody is murdered in the Mission District of San Francisco you want people who will come forward as witnesses, not a bunch of people who saw nothing because they are not here legally and they fear immigration control. If these cities create environments hostile to immigrants it may sound like a good idea to you but the average people who live there and have to deal with unsolved rampant crime think otherwise.
In a perfect world all crime would be dealt with. That’s not the case of course, so certain crimes outweigh others. Or maybe you think fixing illegal immigration is more important than solving crimes like murder…
I think you look at the immigration issue too black and white for your own good.

our Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans and active military rarely ask us to do a thing except to let them do their jobs, so when they do ask something of us, to take 45 minutes out of our lives…. I think it is the least we can do in return…

The fact that one murder of an American by a third-world immigrant is not one murder too many has revealed us to be anti-life.
I know that if we solved the immigration issue we would have a huge decrease in crime to begin with.
I am willing to bet that this will not change the crime solving rate one bit and very few additional people will come forward to report a crime or be a witness.
I think you might be on to something though. Some crimes are not as bad as others. Let’s allow Enron executives to tell on other companies that are bad and ignore what they did…
Just think Adam, if we get rid of the illegals in the Mission district, there’d only be citizens to witness a murder…
I think it’s important to note the declining crime rates in America as the number of illegal immigrants rises. I don’t think the two stats are related as you claim. Aside from the gangs that have moved to the US through illegal immigration, I think there’s very little evidence that illegal aliens are somehow more criminal than legal Americans aside from the crime of being in the country illegally.

This illegal immigation thing is crazy. How are we gonna win? I think that if we get the other minorites on our side we can win. All of the blacks, chinese, and european people I work with are against this illegal immigration thing. The blacks dont like it b/c they feel as if they are once again getting shat on. The Asians dont like it b/c, for the most part they are working their arses off to get into this country the right way as well as the Europeans.
What do you guys think? Do you think hat if we get other races on our side we can win this. It’s not about racism like these bastards try to spin it, it’s about soverienty and security. Ask any intelligent person. A buddy of mine in the Military whom is balck is more upset than I am about this whole thing. Mostly b/c of the Mexican Mafia and the way they are targeting black people.
