Immigrant groups criticize fingerprint initiative-Yahoo news 07/26/2010
I frankly, don't see the problem here. During the sixties, J. Edgar Hoover initiated-quietly initiated I might add-a program designed to finger print every African American arrested for anything-misdemeanor, domestic violence, J-walking-it didn't matter. The idea was to document and track Black males at a time when a political revolution of sorts was under way.
This was done without congressional or media involvement. Today, if any American is arrested for drunk driving, shop lifting, domestic violence, or a felony of course, they are automatically finger printed and run through the national data base (NCIC-National Crime Information Center) for warrants. The illeagl alien lobby wants illegals to be exempt from this basic law enforcement tool. Now I know that illegal aliens, Hispanics in particular, think that they have a 'right' to be here, and are somehow an exception to the laws that govern everyone else, but what makes them exempt? Why shouldn't they be finger printed like the rest of us, after an arrest? This idea of 'special privilege' gulls me no end. No other ethnic, religious, or cultural group asks for such special handling. Do hispanics think that by naming every-other son 'Jesus,' they're due a special insider status or something?
Proponents of illegal aliens argue that this new regulation would make some illegal aliens hesitant to report a crime. I say bull shnit. New Yorkers are infamous for not reporting crimes as it is, yet their city still functions admirably. Should all New yorkers be exempt from finger printing after an arrest too, in an effort to enhance their reporting of crimes? Even if some innocent illegals (which is a misnomer, because they are already guilty of breaking and entering the country) are swept-up as a result, I fail to see the problem in that. To me it's like a bonus, a kind of 'Bingo!' benefit. Maybe they could give toasters or micro-waves away to the ICE agents with the most 'Bingo Bonuses' at the the end of each month.
I am so tired of these advocates screaming in horror over things the average American lives with on a daily basis. It is this 'oh my!' crap that keeps new ones coming, and old ones acting like America owes them something.
