Should local law enforcement be allowed to detain illegal immigrants for minor crimes and transfer them to federal immigration authorities?

I think that there should be ways or programs for immigrants to become legal or live here legally. If they do not want to take any programs then they should be deported.

Law enforcement should detain anybody who commits a crime, transferring them to immigration authorities should be done on a case by case basis

No, only if they are convicted of a violent crime because i think too many non-violent immigrants are being deported

The only crime i would enforce is tresspassing

Yes, but to be clear only because they have violated the law by being here illegally. If the law changes that they are then considered to be here legally than they should be arrested and tried for crime like any other individual who breaks the law.

Yes, but only deported after a due process conviction.

If a crime is committed yes they should be accountable like everyone citizen or not .

All illegal immigrants should be tried in new circumstances of court and if convicted will be held in prison in their homeland.

detain them for any crime they would detain anyone else for and obey the law by sending them to the immigration authorities

Yes, all illegal immigrants who have committed a crime should be turned over to federal authorities

Everyone has the right to jury and speedy trial, being immigrants shouldn't have an affect of that right

They shouldn't have to go to jail but they should face federal authorities.

No, in some areas there will be too many police looking for reasons to arrest people who are of a certain ethnicity.

No. Prosecuting for minor crimes leads to major crimes

For minor misdemeanors then no. But any conviction for major theft, DUIs, and up should be automatic contact with ICE. So serious misdemeanors and all felonies.

yes, but only if they commit a crime

No, they should be treated like everyone else.

Illegal immigrants should be detained regardless of crime, but only after heavy background checks should they be safely and swiftly deported. If a false claim is made about a person being illegal, the accuser should be eligible for a fine.

If an immigrant is a central unit of a family and the main supporter of the family, they should not be transferred, so that way the family can still survive. But if they are an individual, I would say yes, transfer them.

no one is illegal on stolen land

No, unless it is a violent crime or a drug related offense

they should be in trouble for their crimes, but not transferred to federal immigration authorities.

No Thay Sall make a falsity to grant citizenship of illegal immigrants and get thare green card but put in jail for the crime Thay cometied

If an Illegal Immigrant is caught for any crime they should be treated with the same rules within the state, treated the same as an american citizen.

Yes, all illegal immigrants should be deported as a complete family

No, illegal immigrants should have the same punishment for misdemeanors as citizens only if they comment a major crime should be dealt with differently

They should be screened and provided a path to citizenship if they are law abiding, but taken to federal authorities if they refuse the aid.

Detained but not turned over for deportation

yes, but some people who are really desperate then yes

Absolutely not, Total BS!

they should get in trouble but bot deported

They live off our land, take our jobs, and pay no taxes. I think they shouldn't be deported, just a better chance at being a U.S. citizen. Right now, the system is a bit messed up.

Yes they should be detained by law enforcement, but not handed over to immigration authorities.

A person should only be convicted for the crime they were suspected of in the first place.

Maybe, it depends on the severity of the crime

Make it feel like they are treated like a human and do the same they do as a normal citizen.

No, only if they are convicted of a violent crime,there are too many non-violent immigrants are being deported

It depends on how big the crime was. I think of everyone as equals and everyone should be given the same treatment and I don't judge people on where they are from but from their actions.

Under the current law, yes. But I think there should be a lot of immigration reform done to eliminate situations like these.

I dont have enough knowledge on this

wait what?

Detained, local government

not local law, but state law yes

Yes because not only did they commit a crime but their here illegally as well.

No but should be given a ticket to take citizenship classes.

Yes, but the federal government was only given the power and responsibility of creating a uniform process of naturalization, therefore, due to the 10th amendment immigration is a State issue. Local law enforcement should be allowed to escalate to the federal government but federal government should not be able to automatically detain immigrants on State land without the State escalating to them. Escalation should happen according to State established laws.

no. as long as they are paying taxes

it shouldn't have to be a felony but getting pulled over of a head light out doesn't require deportation. maybe move the requirement to a gross misdemeanor

Yes however the court system used to try illegals facing deportation needs to be improved so that they have a fair trial not just a speedy one without even access to a translator

If the crime is a major crime I believe illegal immigrants should be deported and banned from the United States. If it is minor then they should be charged with the crime then deported.

Ys, illegal immigrants are breaking federal laws, but there also needs to be immigration reform to make this issue less of an issue.

Yes, but give them the option to become legal citizens

Yes, but legal immigration should be made easier

Yes. If they were detained for a minor federal crime. Than they should go do federal facility. If they were detained for a state level crime. Than they should go to a county or state facility

Too complex.

Yes, before enacting to deport, look at the severity of the crime and whether or not they are being productive

Yes, but it depends on the type of minor crime. If you are illegally here and you commit a crime you should be subject to the nations laws and if it is found you are here illegally you should be handed over to the immigration authorities.

I guess it really depends on the view of the minor crime committed by the illegal immigrant

No, this leads to a slippery slope of profiling and potentially accusing the innocent of minor crimes just to have them deported.

yes

yes

Yes, all illegal immigrants should be turned over to federal authorities, but not necessarily for deportation, but to begin a streamlined process toward citizenship.

Yes, if the voters of the State they work in have approved.

There are better solutions to this problem.

Need comprehensive reform, cause we need immigrants to help do the work Americans think they are to good to do

No, it may start a climate of fear and lead to fewer crimes being reported.

just send them back to mexico or where they came from

Yes and No, because it depends on the crime they're committing. There should be warnings for minor crimes like stealing or theft, and when two warnings are acquired they are then transported to federal immigration authorities. More violent crimes like: Damage to resident owned or government owned(depending on the situation) or murder/assault(also depending on the situation) should see Illegal immigrants transported immediately to federal immigration authorities.

If the chicken can cross the road and get to the kitchen then yes

Yes, but opportunity for legalized citizenship should be provided before resorting to deportation.

Yes, if that’s the policy of the local law enforcement agency as approved by their elected governing body.

They should be helped to become legal and be treated as such.

This is a federal issue and takes state and local law enforcement away from their legitimate duties. They should detain only those that would have been detained regardless of immigration status

Unless there is previous knowledge of violent crime, or criminal history and are wanted by the authorities in their own country, they should not be handed over to the Federal Immigration Authorities.

I don't have a good understanding for a good opinion

If the illegal immigrant committed a minor offense, they should be enrolled into the "system" for documentation and screening so visas and tax-paying compliance processes can begin. If they are violent or major offenders, process them for deportation.

What part of illegal don't you understand?

Yes, it is because they illegal. When you have a word like "illegal" nothing they do is legitimate. There needs to be reform in the immigration system to fix this issue, not making it ok for people to break the law.

If they have committed a crime (violent or not) and are illegal immigrants they need to be deported.

Those who come here from any other country and willing to become US citizens, learn English and follow our laws are welcome. If not and you break laws...you have to go back.

Yes, all illegal immigrants should be turned over to the federal authorities and deported, they are ILLEGAL immigrants.

Whatever they decide , so be it

Study everyone first
