A cop’s view of illegal immigrants and the Arizona law: Anyone who knows how the police actually work would not be afraid of the Arizona law

Jack Dunphy, the nom de cyber of a serving Los Angeles police officer, offers [1] a cop’s view of illegal immigrants and the Arizona law on National Review Online.

“I suspect most otherwise law-abiding illegal immigrants in Arizona will have little to fear from this new law,” Dunphy writes. “As few police officers will invest the time and trouble to detain someone who, though illegally in this country, is causing no trouble to the community.”

Dunphy goes on to note that there are enough illegal immigrant hoodlums to occupy the attention of the police, so families need not fear being harassed on their way to the ice-cream parlor whether they’re illegal immigrants or not.

“Despite the president’s dire warnings, I don’t envision stakeouts at Baskin-Robbins in Tucson,” Dunphy writes.
