Just reacting to what I’ve read here I’d say it’s purpose is targeting illegals so it doesn’t matter what crime was committed. Being stopped for minor traffic violations has always been a gold mine for catching serious criminals, illegal or not. Carry on with it.

Republicans, who blame all of out nation’s ills on illegal immigrants, techno music, and recreational drug use, should start focusing on actual ways to prevent crime such as quality education for everyone and decent employment opportunities.

LaRaza doesn’t like the fact that Kansas City Mayor Mark Funkhouser appointed a person to their park board who is a member of the Minutemen. They’ve threatened to move their 2009 convention elsewhere. My solution? All cities should ban LaRaza’s conventions until they get on board and officially state they support U.S. efforts to deport illegal immigrants, no matter what country they are from.

From the examples cited in today’s story, it appears to be working as planned. It also appears clear that the advocates for illegal aliens complaints are baseless. No one’s civil rights are being violated and everyone involved in the carrying out the program understands perfectly what to do.

Question - What was the rational behind use of the term “feasting” in the headline? Was it because Halloween is next week or or were you just trying to sensationalize a non-sensational story?

I certainly don’t support any sort of Gestapo tactics like going door-to-door looking for illegals, but if they already have a person stopped for a traffic violation, why not check on immigration status? It’s no different than running a person’s drivers license to see if they have outstanding warrants.

Keep in mind, even Timothy McVeigh was caught in a traffic stop. Illegal Immigrants certainly aren’t on the same level as the Oklahoma City bomber, but they are criminals. The police are only doing their job when they ensure that they person they stopped for speeding isn’t wanted for other charges.

I’m sorry, but I can’t understand why an “illegal immigrant” hasn’t already committed a crime. So why are the feds still arresting folks who have home grown medical cannabis cards sanctioned by their state laws? Somebody (GB) is deathly afraid of mexican drug lords. This will only work if the feds deport the illegals that are caught. From what the police officers around here say, they aren’t doing their part when an illegal is caught. We have already lost this country. Don’t blame the terrorists. This broad can’t even see instructions on packages with her iffy eyes because we have to have spanish along with the english, making the print too small. How about handing out birth control when they are busted Gov Blunt? Mandatory snips all around to stay. Can I pick and choose the laws I want to obey? No! So why can a mexican? This whole bunch of crap is why the rest of the world laughs at amerika. We make no sense. This is a slap in the face at my people who worked so hard to save and do it right. Break a law today in honor of this foolishness. Rob? Here>>>passin’ you one.

Rob, you may want to check out Cuba. I hear the education is superb, everyone is employed, doctors and strippers make the same amount, and the healthcare is apparently first class. Go for it, bud!

Kudos to Gov. Blunt. The Republicans are finally listing to the people of America. We stopped the Reid/Durbin DREAM ACT (nightmare act) yesterday. I would rather see these guys stopped on the road then going after employers or apartment owners who are not the government.
Ms. Young’s story did not say whether those cars were legally licensed in Missouri or elsewhere. Keep up the good work Gov. Blunt for the people of Missouri.

Centwist, “loyal,” is there no end to your willingness to kiss any GOP leader’s heine in praise for their latest smoke and mirrors efforts to misguide the public into believing they’re doing something?

Blunt’s “initiative” isn’t any such thing but, it is a cynical attempt to feed red meat to his far right wing supporters ala Karl Rove and Dick Cheney.

Mr. Blunt, how about showing real leadership by restoring access to healthcare for the poor, disabled, elderly, unborn and young which you and your GOP buddies stripped away so as to give another tax break to your contributors?

Ditto post #1. Smart politics on Blunt’s part too: A program that costs nothing, probably doesn’t reduce the crime rate by any meaningful amount, but doesn’t hurt either.
