A good start

Well, since the Federal authorities are doing such a poor job of immigration enforcement, some local government agencies are stepping up.

This is a good way to get the worst of the worst off the streets and out of the US. It's interesting to note the comments of legal immigrants in the story. They want the crackdown for the most part.

The opposition comments ring all the catch-phrases (Racial profiling! Eek!), but I seriously believe LEGAL immigrants are by and large going to support this kind of initiative. After all, most of these criminals are seeking prey in their neighborhoods.

I still want the Feds to clean this mess up, though.

Oh - as to the "racial profiling" bit, simply check ALL criminals apprehended for major crimes. That removes any possible taint.
