Anti-Illegal Tactic

Following the dictum KISS- Keep it simple, stupid.

The sheriff’s department has developed a remarkably effective — and controversial — way of catching illegal immigrants: Deputies in patrol cars pull up to a construction site in force, and watch and see who runs.

Those who take off are chased down and arrested on charges such as trespassing, for cutting through someone else’s property, or loitering, for hiding out in someone’s yard, or reckless driving, for speeding off in a car.

U.S. immigration authorities are then given the names of those believed to be in this country illegally.

I guess if Washington isn't going to act to do something about the illegal immigrants in the US, local authorities are going to step in and do it themselves. I wonder if any other PD will emulate this example?
