International law - which our Senate and President agreed to follow by ratifying our treaties - says we have to recognize certain rights, regardless of whether a person is a citizen of this country or not.

There is no law saying that you have to let everyone into the country. There are laws, though, about providing due process to people, whether or not they are citizens.

FYI - I'm not a "liberal." Personally, I would vote for John McCain if he got the Republican nomination, which he won't. (And no, I didn't like his position on immigration, but I think he has it right when it comes to dealing with Al Qaeda).

I don't like illegal immigration either. But that shouldn't provide an excuse for normally intelligent people to act like members of the Klan simply because you stick the word "illegal" in front of "immigrant."

You people are way to confusing to me.

First, International Law is one thing abd Treaties are another. If the Federal Government signs a treaty, it is bound by the terms of that agreement.

The US is free to disobey "international law" if we so choose. And under our current administration, it is disobeyed nearly every day. Our current leaders just make sure Hague is not in their travel plans.

What is this? Mr. Coleman's 9th grade math class, where I am required to show my work? You never provided any citations or backup when you declared it was unconstitutional.

I'll make a deal with you though, I will back up my assertion, and you back up your assertions of unconstitutionality and we'll see where the chips lie. Deal?

The case was Muehler v. Mena (2005). Here is a link: http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/04pdf/03-1423.pdf

Still think a legally detained person is not allowed to be asked about his or her immigration status under the U.S. Constitution?

People like you and Fairfax MF---er should be more careful when they say "blatantly unconstitutional." It is far from "blatantly unconstitutional" and probably closer to "blatantly constitutional."

You seriously don't see the point. What grade are you in?

I will go slow so that you can see the point.

WashingToneLocian and Fairfax MF---er were claiming that the Prince William County Ordinance dealing will illegal immigrants was blatently unconstitutional.

The ordinance states that incident to any lawful detention for a violation of a state law or county ordinance, police officers shall inquire into the immigration status of the detained person is there is probable cause to believe the detained person is in violation of federal immigration law and when such inquiry will not expand the duration of the detention.

Now, do you get the point. In case you missed it, the point is that the United States Supreme Court has already found these types of inquiries constitutional. So, it directly rebuts WashingToneLocian's and Fairfax MF---er's claims the ordinance is unconstitutional.

I keep hearing about this Supreme Court decision, but nobody seems to be able to point out the case. Point out the case. If not, quit bringing it up.

The problem with the ordinance is "probable cause." What is probable cause? Being Hispanic? So if you are a Hispanic guy - even if you are a citizen - you have to prove you are here legally. How? Driver's License? Social Security number? Birth certificate? Most illegals have those and many citizens don't. What if the illegal immigrant is from Canada? Or from Russia? Or from South Africa? If their English is good enough, will they be asked to prove their citizenship?

That's where you get into the whole equal protection thing. It sounds good on paper, but the application makes it unconstitutional.

Sorry. I hadn't seen the link to Muehler v. Mena (2005). She was asked about her immigration status because she was associated with a gang tied to the illegal immigrant community. Technically, Prince William county doesn't even need an ordinance to do this kind of questioning of suspects and should be doing it already. The problem with the new ordinance is that it gives police the leeway to ask anyone if they are an illegal immigrant based on "probable cause" not linked to the specific crime at hand. That is a violation of the 4th Amendment.

The Supreme Court Ruled that officers do not need probable cause when asking a detained person about their immigration status.

Specifically, the court stated: "The Court of Appeals also determined that the officers violated Mena's Fourth Amendment rights by questioning her about her immigration status during the detention. 332 F. 3d, at 1264-1266. This holding, it appears, was premised on the assumption that the officers were required to have independent reasonable suspicion in order to question Mena concerning her immigration status because the questioning constituted a discrete Fourth Amendment event. But the premise is faulty. We have "held repeatedly that mere police questioning does not constitute a seizure." Florida v. Bostick, 501 U. S. 429, 434 (1991); see also INS v. Delgado, 466 U. S. 210, 212 (1984). "[E]ven when officers have no basis for suspecting a particular individual, they may generally ask questions of that individual; ask to examine the individual's identification; and request consent to search his or her luggage." Bostick, supra, at 434-435 (citations omitted). As the Court of Appeals did not hold that the detention was prolonged by the questioning, there was no additional seizure within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Hence, the officers did not need reasonable suspicion to ask Mena for her name, date and place of birth, or immigration status."

If the officers did not need "reasonable suspicion," they certainly did not need "probable cause." The Supreme Court did not say that because Mena was associated with illegal gangs, it made it OK. they said it was OK in any lawful detention.


Please re-read the case and then compare it to the ordinance in Prince William County located here: http://www.pwcgov.org/docLibrary/PDF/006881.pdf . It appears to be in step with the Mena decision. According to the aforementioned case, probable cause is immaterial during a lawful detention when asking about status, I think it is an extra shred of protection put in because of an abundance of caution to ensure it withstands a constitutional challenge. I would also urge you to look at the 287(g) programs mentioned by Flarefax earlier.

Have you been paying attention during the last few years? We've had a republican majority, and the problem hasn't been solved. There are some democrats that are trying to do something about the problem, but the republicans are only saying they will get rid of illegals to win votes when they know they will not be able to do so.

It's in the F-ING ORDINANCE!!!! You keep talking about the ordinance. Have you read it and/or do you understand it???

As I said before, what you are claiming the authorities can do is already legal under current law. The ordinance is much broader than the Supreme Court ruling. It also covers denial of services, etc.

The problem comes down to "probable cause." What is that "probable cause?" A person is brown? A person speaks Spanish? If that is probable cause, you will start to cross into the equal protection area because there are plenty of illegals who speak perfectly decent English and plenty of Hispanic people who are legally here or who are citizens who may not be able to prove it easily. The ordinance itself is the problem.

The problem DOESN'T COME DOWN TO PROBABLE CAUSE! Read the frigging case. When someone is legally detained, you do not need probable cause to ask them their status. I have read the ordinance. You seem to think that just because there is a section asking the police chief to come up with what probable cause is that it is unconstitutional. I am telling you that section was probably done in order to be overly cautious. Under the current law, you don't need that section. I assume all of the the jurisdictions who have been doing this for 10 years is doing so unconstitutionally as well?

For the record, I am not going to reiterate this again -- "[E]ven when officers have no basis for suspecting a particular individual, they may generally ask questions of that individual." Do you understand this? Probable cause is immaterial!!!!!!

Flarefax,
I am beginning to see the frustrations you endured dealing with some of these morons.

What great illegal immigration do we have? I personally think this is an over-hyped "problem" designed to distract people from the horrible ituation the Republican Party has created over the Iraq War.....the loss of civil liberties and the presidential power play over Commander In Chief oversight (or lack thereof) by the Congress.

Everyone cries how much of their tax dollars are spent on illegals....well guys and gals, if you think it's so great to be an illegal taking advantage of our generoscity...You are a fool! Immigrants le\gal and illegal generate more wealth then they ever drian from our pockets! The vast majority are hard working people..the violent ones should be expelled. But they should not fear to approach our law enforcement officials - go to our hospitals..our schools.

Prince William County Republican politicians should be asahmed of the environment of hate and distrust they are creating. The rest of you should just take a pill...relax and treat decent people decently!

"Probable cause" IS the issue because it IS in the language of the ordinance. Race and language are not "probable cause." Yet, that is what this will be administered under.

As I mentioned in my previous post, and in agreement with what you are saying, you DON'T need this ordinance at all. But codifying something that will lead to discrimination is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. If the commissioners in Prince William County weren't trying to play politics with this issue and cost the county an ass-load of legal costs they would simply ask the police to do this if they weren't already.

I'm all for securing the borders (not!). Why don't we get some ex-Soviets wall builders over here, I hate to outsource this job to them, but that Berlin wall seemed to work pretty well, until freedom broke out. The wall could be based on that design. It should be 2 walls separated by a mine field. And we should have sentry towers with a clear range of fire every x number of yards, enough to guarantee a pretty effective kill zone. But if we're talking about border security, because of terrorists, then common sense tells me one wall along Mexico isn't going to do the job. We've got this other border up north with Canada. I mean any self-respecting terrorist who is worth being afraid of is not going to let a wall with Mexico stop him, and he's probably not going to let a wall with Canada stop him either. And then we'll have to mine every beach in America, every river landing, etc. And that probably won't stop him. Damn magic carpets! Trust me when I tell you if a bunch of Cubans or Haitians can come aground on our soil by boat, any of them terrorists can do it too. Mining the beaches,in Miami and the entire Gulf Coast, that means we'd have to start paying for topless entertainment, I am not down for that at all.

Conclusion: If you think that a wall with Mexico will protect you from terrorists, then I'd just like to remind you that Maginot (Google it.) and Mexico rhyme.

Expelling all the illegals is probably not going to solve any of the economic problems that the Mexicans are causing. Outsourcing jobs to China and India, high gas and electricity prices, high insurance rates, higher home prices in some areas a depressed real estate market in others, for hiding Saddam's chemical weapons and messing up the reconstruction of Iraq and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Put 2 and 2 together (cuatro.) America, illigals from Mexico are the least of our problems...stop whining...GET OVER IT!

Bring on the next pseudo-issue destroying America. I'm hoping it's cell phones...I hate cell phones!

It wasn't for lack of effort. In fact some studies state that Native Americans were actually more culpable in committing atrocities. Native Americans committed roughly 9,000 atrocites compared to 7,000 by Europeans. What really wiped them out was a lack of resistence to disease. Ironically, it is disease that may very well be the biggest problems associated with illegal immigrants today. They have been known to bring tuberculosis, hepatitis, dengue fever, chagas, and even leprosy. The tuberculosis strains they are bringing with them are resistent to drugs used to treat them. In the 40 years prior to 2005 there were 400 known cases of leprosy - Today there are over 7000 reported cases. This is all very reassuring knowing that a great many of these illegal immigrants are the ones handling our food and washing our dishes.

Thank you for your input, honey, now go back to the kid's table.

And what did I miss in your oh so profound earlier statement? You said "What a shame that the original inhabitants of North America didn't have a stronger anti-immigration policy." They actually did, it was called violence. It just happened they were on the losing end of it and got wiped out because of disease.

Please provide an example of how Dems want to censor him.

Limbaugh may have 20 million listeners, but who are those listeners? Mostly older, uneducated and living near the low end of the income scale. Hardly the audience advertisers are craving.

WRONG AGAIN!

From the Pew Research Center:

http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?PageID=1068

Judged by their answers to three news knowledge questions, the most informed audiences belong to the political magazines, Rush Limbaugh's radio show, the O'Reilly Factor, news magazines, and online news sources. Close behind are the regular audiences for NPR and the Daily Show.

Audiences with the highest educational achievement, by far, are the literary magazines and online news outlets. Readers of news magazines, political magazines and business magazines, listeners of Rush Limbaugh and NPR, and viewers of the Daily Show, and C-SPAN also are much more likely than the average person to have a college degree.

They wouldn't even have had to slaughter us...they could have just not helped the first settlements survive the first winter. They damned near didn't as it was.

Native Americans could have prevented us from establishing a beach head for at least a couple hundred years. By the late 1800's and Little Big Horn and all that...it was way too late.

proof...


they tried to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, which would shut down conservative talk raido.




they tried to censor Rush Limbaugh on a phoney, phoney soldier debacle which backfired


as far as your opinion of rush limbaughs listeners, seems as though you've manipulated by liberal dems into adopting the opinion they want YOU to have.

In my opinion, anyone who believes what the dems tell you to believe without checking it out yourself is weak minded

Sorry to tell you, but a completion certificate from the Food Service Academy isn't a "college degree." Too bad the people who filled out the questionnaire were too stupid to know that.

Hate to tell you, but not checking out what either Dems OR Republicans have to say makes you weak minded. That's the problem with Republicans like you. You NEVER question what people like Hannity and Limbaugh are feeding you. I question what pundits from both sides tell me all of the time.

Here's some facts...

Talking about the Fairness Doctrine isn't the same as "brining it back." Where is the bill? There isn't one.

Some Dems condemned him and asked for an apology. As far as I can tell, they never utilized the FCC, DOJ or other government body to try to "censor" him.

I've personally known a lot of Limbaugh listeners. They are ALL stupid like you. My mistake was using "uneducated" instead of "unintelligent." There are plenty of people with college degrees who are complete morons. Our President is a good example of that fact.

Unlike you, I question what I hear - from EVERYONE.

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said on Tuesday that the government should revive the Fairness Doctrine, a policy crafted in 1929 that required broadcasters to balance political content with different points of view.

“It’s time to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine,” he said.

Sen. John Kerry (Mass.), the Democratic Party’s 2004 presidential nominee, also said recently that the Fairness Doctrine should return.

Maurice Hinchey introduced legislation last Congress to reinstitute the so-called Fairness doctrine. He is still in office and will likely reintroduce it.

It is refreshing however that you are starting to care about facts, now if you could just get them right. Something you failed to do regarding school funding and Congress "slashing" Border Patrol, etc.

Hi. It's Allison Starling again and our top investigative research team just revealed that Flairfax is a douche.

Ahmed Samir, constitutional law professor of GWU, had this to say, "Clearly, Flairfax missed out on the ABCs of law. His utter refusal to stick his head in the sand and focus on his so-called career leads me to believe that he is a troll, and nothing but a troll. His lack of personality is evident by his humorless fact-checking abilities. If only he would seek help for his mental illness achieved in semi-retirement, then there would be hope that his overly broad usage of fact checking would be supplemented by at least a smidgen of comedic banter; something that really makes this message board thrive. Perhaps he would be better off in a political or legal-based forum, unless ofcourse, he was previously booted for his fact checking usage. The only legal term I can think of that would describe his actions is, res ipsa loquitor douchery."

Prof. Samir is the ranking authority on calling-out of legal douchery and has testified as an expert witness in this subject matter in over 100 trials and arbitrations. Renee, back you in the studio.
