What of the 6 people in New Jersey attacking the base?

Yes there can be due process but lets speed the fricken thing up. Screw the court system and having legal US citizen pay for the court aswell as their prison fees. If you are here illegal then they get what your dad gave you after you were caught stealing joe...I kick in the backside, cept this one will be over the border with a note pinned to their shirt like the retard they are stating "stay over there or get shot the next time you are caught unless you are legal"
And im not saying that you could go up to any random person and ask them the question "Are you here Legally?" and if they dont answer quick enough they get tossed into a holding cell. Law enforcment officers should be allowed to conducted background checks during stops IF they feel its warrented.
And you keep falling back to thinking im suggesting that WE the people as citizens should enforce the law and im not. Im saying that law enforcement should have their abilities expanded to which they can conduct background checks when they get a call or report about certain activities happening OR during a traffic stop. Nothing related to vigilanty justice or taking the law into our own hands.
Now, bureaucracy speed cannot in no way be blamed on Illegal immigrants.
We all complain about it in one way or another. Just ask any person whom has applied for disability benefits why it is a seven month process from application to approval to when they actually start receiving benefits.
Okay, enough about that. but Law enforcement also must follow the laws
and are in fact held to a higher standard when those laws are broken (should they be they ones breaking the laws. Another thing that I can guarantee: Would we want ourselves to be subjected to such invasion on our privacy for say, getting a speeding ticket? The police already do a quick check to check the validity of a driver's license and any outstanding warrants that person may have against them. Expanding from that, while sounding good; wouldn't be practical in America. Our population enjoys its freedoms too much and does not respond well to anything that upsets them.
As far as the "persons of interest" point; how do we define this? Because a person is Mexican, does that automatically put them in this category? Civil rights attorneys would be licking their chops at your suggestion, Hio.
