I think that it is only fair for illegal immigrants involved in minor crimes to be referred to authorities.
@8NKN2474yrs4Y
Sometimes these immigrants dont have the money to buy themselves essentials and if they really need it they should have a bit of compassion
@93TZ24B2yrs2Y
Yes but stop targeting just hispanics

If someone commits a crime which falls under State jurisdiction due to it's nature, then it should be handled by the State. If it is a federal crime, then it should be prosecuted by the federal government. But a persons immigration status, while it can be a federal offense, should have no impact on the fair trial or treatment of the accused simply.
