The problem with illegals (well one problem anyway) is that we have no way to do a criminal history check on them from their country of origin. And evn if they have an ID whos to say its even really them as it very easy to borrow their cousins, etc info and get an ID with their picture on it.....
This guy admitted to being an illegal when I stopped him for running a stop sign. I was contactiong the DRO (The folks who were going to fly him home) and he took off running.....
no shit, i arrested a nogotti (illegal) the other day for P.O.P (pissing off police) who had 8 ID's in his wallet. all had different names.
his family came in the next day and asked if he had been arrested for "that murder in mexico"
. we call imigration, and it turns out i arrested the guy that was wanted for 3 murders in mexico. that info would have come in handy when i was talking to the bastard.
