LA immigration numbskulls

Today's 'In a NUTshell'

Questioning suspects' immigration status has been taboo for L.A. police. But the results of jail screenings revive calls to relax that policy.

I could insert this entire L.A. Times story into Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," and nobody would notice.

The review will continue, and officials expect during the first year to identify 700 to 800 gang members who are illegal immigrants, according to Jim Hayes, director of the Los Angeles field office for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The focus on immigration status comes as the city of Los Angeles is calling on federal agencies to help it crack down in response to last year's 15.7% increase in gang crime.

Some say it also shows the need for agencies, including the Los Angeles Police Department, to loosen policies that generally prohibit officers from asking about the immigration status of anyone they question (Special Order 40).

SOME SAY?  The only people who don't are the stupid liberal twits who caused  the problem to begin with, and perpetuate their idiocy still. Like ...
As recently as last week, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa rejected the argument that eliminating Special Order 40 would help in the battle against gangs.
