In my opinion officers should worry more about keeping criminals in jail where they're suppose to be, than lose in the streets wondering what to do next. If this comes into effect I think officers are going to take advantage of the situation and start arresting and deporting people for their satisfaction;Some of them will.I'm not saying not to deport illegal immigrants if they are caught doing crime, but those who come here to work in search of opportunities will fear to go to work or out to the streets because they might get deported.Cops should stick to their job of keeping Las Vegas in safe enviroment for its people.

30% of federal prison inmates are illegal aliens. Illegal aliens have a crime rate two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. $3 million a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. Finally, illegal aliens control some border areas and run roughshod over border states on their way to sanctuaries and more northeasterly states.
