Panama City Sherriff Cracks Down on Illegal Immigrants (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,287101,00.html)
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. — The sheriff's department has developed a remarkably effective — and controversial — way of catching illegal immigrants: Deputies in patrol cars pull up to a construction site in force, and watch and see who runs.
Those who take off are chased down and arrested on charges such as trespassing, for cutting through someone else's property, or loitering, for hiding out in someone's yard, or reckless driving, for speeding off in a car.
U.S. immigration authorities are then given the names of those believed to be in this country illegally.
< snip , but of course, you know who's upset, snip >
Immigrant advocates say the technique is repugnant, and the ACLU says its constitutionality is questionable.
See we DO have some good, smart peeps down here in the land of sunshine, LOL. :smirky:
