TSA is doing sweeps for illegals
http://www.10news.com/news/19543234/detail.html
SAN DIEGO -- An immigration sweep that resulted in the arrests of dozens of illegal immigrants took place in the most unexpected of places, and immigration rights activists are unhappy with the operation, 10News reported. The sweep, which happened Wednesday at the Old Town transit center, involved agents from the Transportation Security Administration and the Border Patrol. A Border Patrol spokesman denied the use of racial profiling. He said behavior detection officers helped identify suspected illegal immigrants on board the trolley. While some questioned the legality of conducting a sweep on a trolley, a TSA representative said they have conducted more than 1,000 similar sweeps on a variety of modes of transportation, and federal law said it is legal. |
Since the highly effective BDO's have yet to catch a tewwowist, maybe they can patrol Walmart to look to shoplifters too.

Border Patrol officials say they were supporting a Transportation Security Administration operation when Border Patrol agents detained 21 people at the Old Town Trolley Station. Rios said agents with the Transportation Security Administration and the Border Patrol questioned a 16-year-old girl and two boys, ages 15 and 17, about their residency status at the trolley station before taking them into custody and sending them to Mexico later that day. Morales, the Border Patrol agent, said the Border Patrol assisted the TSA in a standard operation. Bart, what business is it of the TSA if a person getting on a trolley is an illegal or not? |

Nice twist with the quotes. Read it in context. It's a Border Patrol operation with TSA assistance.

What legal authority does DHS have to "sweep" for illegals inside the country? Can anyone be stopped by DHS (not TSA, mind you - I'd just flip them off) law enforcement and be required to provide proof of citizenship or be subject to arrest on the spot??
How does one prove their citizenship, since none of us carry our passports around - just look "white" and speak without an accent? Since TSA is not law enforcement, what right do they have to engage in law enforcement activity? I say NONE. |
