You know, the place I moved from last year took on the illegal problem. The county supervisors decided that whenever the police stopped anyone for probable cause, they would also check their immigration status. And if they didn't have proof of citizenship or a green card, they would be held for the INS. This would also happen whenever the police were called to a house. The county had a large number of illegals who came there for the building industry to work as laborers.

It was very controversial and became very political. A lot of Hispanics left the county. But then, when the building industry dried up and the jobs dried up, most of them left anyway.

They brought with them their gang culture and a lot of violence within their community as well as other illegal activity.
As I understand it, the reason most places don't crack down on illegals is because they need their labor in both agriculture and as laborers -- jobs a lot of Americans don't want.
