Black Police association opposes immigration role

The Westchester Chapter of the National Black Police Association is speaking out against having local police take on an immigration-enforcement role. National board member Damon K. Jones, executive director of Westchester Blacks in Law Enforcement, has this statement today:
Immigration Enforcement should remain under federal guidelines and enforced by Federal Immigration Agencies such as the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that are all under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security.For State and Local Law Enforcement to enforce such federal laws will be an added burden to the already highly stressful job of protecting the communities we serve. This will ultimately increase the existing poor relationship of Law Enforcement and the Immigrant and Minority communities. It will also add to the institutional bias policies that already exist in Law Enforcement towards immigrants, and people of color.

sounds like the black police association is just to lazy
to do a little extra work. 287g should be in every town in
America. If it was maybe that BLACK kid in Los Angeles who
was killed by an illegal dirt bag might be alive today.
If they are to lazy to do the extra work themselves hire more cops. I really don’t see it as much of an addition to the job they are already doing. What’s worse about this black cops Assoc. is that these illegal scum buckets take
many jobs that black Americans could and SHOULD have. Then
they’ll complain that there are no jobs and request more
social services. So much for looking out for your own.
Why is there a “Westchester Chapter of the National Black Police Association”.... I bet if there was a “Westchester Chapter of the National WHITE Police Association” that fool sharpton would be all over this…
Exactly Yourthoughts. What actual purpose does it serve? I
thought if you wore the uniform regardless of race you were
a band of brothers. Leave it to these people to once again
SEGRAGATE instead of unite.
YourThoughts: My thought exactly.
Typical ignorance from bigoted white readers.
Criminal Aliens comprise today 1/3rd of Federal prison population, and this is the single fastest growing cohort in the population.
The GAO recently analyzed the rap sheets of more than 55,000 illegal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local facilities during 2003.[Source: General Accountability Office, “Information on Certain Illegal Aliens Arrested in the United States,” Letter to Congressman John N. Hostettler, May 9, 2005.]
It found:
The average criminal alien was arrested for 13 prior offenses
12 percent were for murder, robbery, assault and sexually related crimes
Only 21 percent were immigration offenses; the rest were felonies
81 percent of their arrests occurred after 1990
In a word, criminal aliens are not your casual law breaker. Most are recidivists—AKA career criminals. The economic burden they impose on victims, including loss of income and property, uncompensated hospital bills, and emotional pain and suffering – has been estimated at $1.6 million per property and assault crime offender.
