Why are the police not allowed to pull over illegal aliens ?


Question:
Illegal aliens are not required to have auto insurance or a drivers license and the police are required to let them go. I have to have an insurance card and license and auto tags. But illegal aliens where I live say the police cannot ask them for anything.That illegal alien in Chicago is poof that illegal aliens are not required are asked to obey the laws of the country.

Answer:
Good question. They are changing the laws here in NC to make it possible for the state and local police to finally be able to act accordingly with criminal trespassers. I am so happy about it. Maybe they can get rid of at least some of them.
Welcome to America! If you think this is wrong, too, write your congress reps.
your wrong they cant do that they have to follow our laws regardless
ive been saying that for a long time finally something that is correct NO ONE should be above the law I dont care if a illegals gotta fly to the gap for make up for his promdate with santa on the moon its the law
Where on earth, or off of it do these outlandish rumors come from? Does the bush-league have a crackpot rumor producing computer hidden in a basement somewhere?
Because they are not citizens of the country, hence not officially recognized by the government, therefore law enforcment cannot do anything to these people since they've no papers to indicate they are even here in the first place. Damn aliens.
One more thing we must change, they should be able to arest illegal immigrants.
ha ha maybe they have extraterritoriality. Actually I think so many people cry racism, its now called racial profiling. I'm still not sure why some people think illegal aliens is considered a race.
Because they are illegal.
Just wait and see now what other perks these illegals get now since the dems are in control. If you think they get free stuff now, hold on and watch what the dems do to protect these people who break the law.
I've got news for you. We ARE allowed to pull over illegal aliens. The Border Patrol has explicit constitutional and legislative authority to detain ANYONE in the country that he/she suspects is here illegally.

While most cops at the local and state level must have reasonable suspicion to make a roving patrol stop, a BPA can pull a vehicle over anytime to verify a person's citizenship.

In the case of Chicago however Border Patrol Agents aren't exactly everywhere, but illegals are still always subject to deportation and/or prosecution.
Where do you live on the moon? No one gets pulled over unless they broke the traffic laws! Just because someone is Hispanic doesnt mean they are Illegal!
No, illegal aliens also have to follow the laws of this country.
They will be put in jail if they kill someone, or rob a bank or molest a child.

When the cops catch these aliens, by law the cop asks them for insurance and drivers license. Cops ask everyone that. Here in California, aliens who can caught are fined and sent to court like everyone else. If thier cars have no valid registration, it is impounded.
Cops have the right to pull over anyone who drives a vehicle on the road. That is their job.
I am married to an Illegal Immigrant and he was stopped for not having a headlight. My husband was taken to jail for No Insurance, no drivers License, and no head light. His bond was set very high...it is not that they will not arrest them, its just so hard for the police to know if they are legal or illegal. They have to actually check it with INS and it takes too much time. If it is a serious crime then an INS hold will be put on them and they will not be able to bond out of jail. Legally they should have these things. Now there are many companies that offer insurance to people who have a D.L from another country and thats how my husband is driving now. It is a legal drivers license.
Thats very disrespectful! If I was an officer I would pull them over and get them in jail.
how can you tell who is an illegal alien? the constitution protects us from illegal searches and seizures.
in our town, everyone that gets pulled over gets asked for proof of insurance and registration. if you don't have it, you can explain why you don't to the judge.
Illegals are required to have all this things, just like anyone else sharing the road. I don't know where you get your stories from, because you are misleading honest people that may buy it, but it is nonsense.
And I just have a real story to share:
My cousin came to visit, legally (with a passport and visa), he was driving, was pulled over on my car, he was let go, driving with a Mexican license, but given a citation in court. I had to go with him, waiting on the court date, his visa got expired, was pardoned because he had to stay to go to court.
I had insurance for the vehicle, in Georgia, if you don't have insurance, you get arrested, you may not have a DL, and then you get a court citation, regardless of INS status.
That's why we have so many ILLEGALS cuz they know no one will be after them. I was a Police Officer & was told by my superiors not to arrest illegals cuz the Congress has never passed such laws.
As citizens if we are pulled over by a cop, he will ask for a driver's license, proof of insurance and registration.

I don't see how the cops can let someone go if they don't have those things. Someone said how can anyone tell if they are illegal. Well I would think that would be enough evidence right there.

It's disgusting how illegals are getting a free ride in the U.S. And the rest of us have to obey the laws.
