A stopped clock and the ACLU can be right twice a day. Not this time.
"In a report released today, titled “Costs and Consequences: The High Price of Policing Immigrant Communities,” the ACLU runs several dollars-and-cents equations [PDF] on what particular counties and cities are spending to arrest, detain and prosecute illegal immigrants. Many cases involving this population begin as minor traffic violations before growing into questions of legal residency. Therefore, the organization argues, law enforcement agencies can reduce the number of non-criminal illegal immigrants they pay to hold by not focusing officers on violations like driving without a valid license. (Disclosure: The report also cites California Watch’s past reporting on vehicle impounds at sobriety checkpoints.)"
So, the ACLU thinks by giving drivers licenses to criminals it solves a problem. What is the problem with the ACLU, have they no decency?
