Just following their Left/Democrat brethrens' lead. It's pretty absurd.

The three, all of whom had been arrested on various forgery, driving and shoplifting violations, sued Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren, Cobb Commission Chairman Tim Lee and others claiming their Miranda “rights” had been violated; claiming the police had illegally seized immigration documents that would have allowed them to stay here; and had denied them access to lawyers. Funny thing about that last allegation — they didn’t seem to have any trouble finding one to take their case, did they?

The author of the article is exhibiting his ignorance.

Per Plyler v.Doe (1982), and subsequent rulings, illegal immigrants have habeas and due process rights, including the so-called Miranda Warning. Illegal aliens are also entitled to file suit in Federal court, their rights as persons in the United States are guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. They are entitled to due process because they are innocent until proved guilty of entering the country illegally.

With Washington refusing to tackle the issue, and with a president and mainstream media whose sympathies are clearly on the side of the illegal immigrants rather than the law, state and local officials are taking on matters themselves. Although 287(g) is a federal program, it is local-level officials who Washington has left holding the bag. They are damned if they try to enforce the law and damned if they don’t.

Incorrect. The author of the article continues to exhibit his ignorance.

Washington is not ‘refusing’ to do anything; authorities are enforcing the laws as established by Congress in accord with the Constitution and its case law.

Again, illegal aliens are entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence as is anyone else accused of a crime, that some Americans oppose – or are ignorant of – this vital and fundamental tenet of our Constitutional Republic is telling and troubling.
