Colorado's national embarrassment, Rep. Tom Tancredo, steps in it again:
Tancredo said sheriffs in his home state of Colorado have started to realize that detaining illegal immigrants can be a profit-making venture. The sheriffs are detaining illegal immigrants who have been arrested and charged with committing a local crime and billing the federal government for the immigrants’ detention, he said.
Update:
We're adamantly opposed to this. For one thing, it will step up racial profiling. Driving While Latino. For another, many immigration violations are civil, not criminal violations.
Agreed.
