Illegal alien ordinances: Shall cities/states have the authority to deny services, refer for deportation etc?

The state should have the authority to deal with illegals in their states, they are the ones after all that provide the services for the illegals and it affects their state budgets from education to healthcare, and when the federal government does nothing about it yes i feel they should have the authority to deny services, refer for deportation, and yes if a crime is committed by an illegal instead of allowing them to go back to mexico and come back as someone else they should just throw in prison as they do in mexico and if you do not have someone to care for you there to bad.

Legally or Illegally?

Not only can they, in most cases they are required to. I'm not saying they do it.  Here is CA's law on it.\n\n834b.  (a) Every law enforcement agency in California shall fully\ncooperate with the United States Immigration and Naturalization\nService regarding any person who is arrested if he or she is\nsuspected of being present in the United States in violation of\nfederal immigration laws.\n   (b) With respect to any such person who is arrested, and suspected\nof being present in the United States in violation of federal\nimmigration laws, every law enforcement agency shall do the\nfollowing:\n   (1) Attempt to verify the legal status of such person as a citizen\nof the United States, an alien lawfully admitted as a permanent\nresident, an alien lawfully admitted for a temporary period of time\nor as an alien who is present in the United States in violation of\nimmigration laws.  The verification process may include, but shall\nnot be limited to, questioning the person regarding his or her date\nand place of birth, and entry into the United States, and demanding\ndocumentation to indicate his or her legal status.\n   (2) Notify the person of his or her apparent status as an alien\nwho is present in the United States in violation of federal\nimmigration laws and inform him or her that, apart from any criminal\njustice proceedings, he or she must either obtain legal status or\nleave the United States.\n   (3) Notify the Attorney General of California and the United\nStates Immigration and Naturalization Service of the apparent illegal\nstatus and provide any additional information that may be requested\nby any other public entity.

No one illegal have the right to do anything, you must go the proper channels to make anything legitimate for the proper protection of the law and from the Law Example, if someone force themselves into your home, what rights as an intruder do they have, unless you give them permission! Well it works also in the larger scale of things

I don't know about other States but in California any crime commit ed by an illegal gets deported. Even Resident aliens with green cards if caught committing any crime loose their papers and are deported upon their release after serving their sentence.

I think it is a local Council issue rather than a Legislative issue (unless you disturb the peace or litter).\n\nCheck with the Local Council to see if you need a permit or if there is a voluntary code of practice.\n\nGood luck

In my city they take up an entire city block. There are so many that the police established a sub-station just for them. The officers must speak spanish and they patrol only that area. Many are required to walk a beat to try to foster good community relations. The neighborhood school is now entirely populated by the offspring of those illegal immigrants. I can tell you that the rest of the city does not get their own substation with officers assigned to walk a beat to foster community relations. Just another example of the hidden costs of illegal immigration.\n\nFor all you pro-illegals out there that want to welcome the illegals with open arms, just try to walk through that neighborhood sometime. See how welcome you are. My guess is that IF you walk away you would have a whole different perspective.

ha ha  pancha 's  answer was funny a bit stricter my ass \n\nPursuant to Article 33, "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country." This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the expression of opinions in public about domestic politics like those much in evidence in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere in recent days.\n\n* Equal employment rights are denied to immigrants, even legal ones. Article 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable."\n\n* Jobs for which Mexican citizenship is considered "indispensable" include, pursuant to Article 32, bans on foreigners, immigrants, and even naturalized citizens of Mexico serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports.\n\n* Article 55 denies immigrants the right to become federal lawmakers. A Mexican congressman or senator must be "a Mexican citizen by birth." Article 91 further stipulates that immigrants may never aspire to become cabinet officers as they are required to be Mexican by birth. Article 95 says the same about Supreme Court justices. In accordance with Article 130, immigrants - even legal ones - may not become members of the clergy, either.\n\n* Foreigners, to say nothing of illegal immigrants, are denied fundamental property rights. For example, Article 27 states, "Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters."\n\n* Article 11 guarantees federal protection against "undesirable aliens resident in the country." What is more, private individuals are authorized to make citizen's arrests. Article 16 states, "In cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities." In other words, Mexico grants its citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution. Imagine the Minutemen exercising such a right!\n\n* The Mexican constitution states that foreigners - not just illegal immigrants - may be expelled for any reason and without due process. According to Article 33, "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action."

Yes, and kindly start in the Los Angeles County area of California. They are committing an illegal act and as any American citizen can tell you, if I were committing an illegal act I'd be arrested, prosecuted and jailed. ALL ILLEGALS NEED TO BE SHIPPED HOME AT THEIR COUNTRIES EXPENSE.

Laws in all states have upheld that garbage at the curb is not private and taking garbage is not stealing.  I cannot see how the town can lay claim to garbage until it is on the truck itself.\n\nI would think that in order to enforce this ordinance the city would have to supply houses with garbage cans and then they could say that anything inside the cans is offlimits.\n\nIts sounds like one of those ordinances that would be overturned as unconstitutional if it were appealed to a state court.  Besides unless they are sorting their refuse and separating those metals they can sell for money (it probably wouldn't be worth the cost) when people take trash from the street it reduces the amount of money the town pays in tipping charges.

This question is so much fun .... thank you for asking.\n\nThe federal government refuses its responsibility to defend our borders. Most state governors refuse to take action. We get the same response from city and county leaders.\n\nAnd the suggestion is to prosecute private businesses ? \n\nDid you consider jailing government employees that give social services to illegal aliens ?  Did you consider jailing school administers or hospital official for providing services to illegal aliens ?\n\nOnce again .... Government fail to perform their duties and private businesses are prosecuted. Thanks for the good laugh.

I posted similar question bout 15 minutes ago....here excerpt from cited link....\nThe Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens, and the denial of many rights to non-citizens. The General Law on Population, spelling out the country's immigration policy, should cause Americans to ask: Why is our southern neighbor pushing us to water down our immigration laws and policies when its own immigration restrictions are the toughest on the continent? If a felony is a crime punishable by more than a year in prison, Mexican law makes it a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico. Yet if the United States adopted such a law, Mexico would no doubt denounce it as a manifestation of American bigotry.\n\nUnder Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says:\n\n_ "A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of 300 to 5,000 pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally." (Article 123)\n\n_ Foreigners with immigration problems may be deported, rather than imprisoned. (Article 125)\n\n_ Foreigners who "(make attempts) against national sovereignty or security" will be deported. (Article 126)\n\nMexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are considered criminals:\n\n_ A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)\n\n_ Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)\n\nAll of the above runs counter to what Mexican leaders are demanding of the United States. The stark contrast between Mexico's immigration practices and its American-immigration preachings reveals the Mexican government's agenda: to have a one-way immigration relationship with the United States.\n\nLet's call Mexico's bluff on its interference in U.S. immigration policy. Let us propose, just to make a point, that North American Free Trade Agreement member nations standardize their immigration laws by using Mexico's law as a model.\n\nhttp://www.shns.com/shns/g_index2.cfm?action=detail&pk=MEXICO-04-24-06

Contact your local by-law enforcement office, usually located in city hall, and discuss the practice with them. If it contravenes a local ordinance they will probably make a visit and advise the person to cease.

Your local Home Security office.  Someone here from Texas did, and she said you have to be firm, because they will try to be rude and talk you out of it - but got people deported.

I'd try city hall about that. . . but you might find that there actually aren't any laws at all about the subject.

This is very wrong.  We should have laws that keep these places from being sued because they deny someone service.  We should have laws that state only legal immigrants and U.S. citizens have the right to these places.  Also, the businesses that employ these people should be put out of business, screw the fines.  I also think we should put a wall along the whole border.  Why are we only putting it along 700 miles of our border?  why not the whole thing?
