Police are responsible for violations of the law, not immigration. This also requires due process.

And frankly, the per capita rates for crimes committed by unauthorized immigrants is much lower than for citizens. If these violations and murders are what we really care about, we should have an armed enforcement groups that only focuses on citizens.

But if that sounds absurd to you, then you’re starting to get it.

As far as I understand it immigration violations fall under federal law which is not the responsibility of the police but of federal authorities like the FBI and, yes, ICE? Soon to be renamed NICE from what I've read with the 'N' standing for 'National' which would make for quite some word play in times ahead like 'watch out, NICE agents on their way'.
