one more thing

Spence, it is a crime to cross the border. It is a misdomeanor. To say it is civil is wrong. Its just not a felony yet!

Well, two more things. A police chief in New Hampshire was upheld by the U. S. Supreme court when he arrested an illegal alien for tresspassing. The state said he couldn't do that and that decision was appealed and the state court decision was overturned and the chiefs arrest for tresspassing was determined to be valid. So it could be said that every police can uphold and enforce all laws even federal statutes, which means that every police officer can arrest aliens for being here illegally on the simple charge of tresspassing.
