TN: No punishment for illegal immigrant

No punishment for illegal immigrant

Why is it that our troops are over defending other people in other countries when we can't take care of our own?

I want to know why we have illegal immigrants in the United States who can get away with anything but if one of our own does, it we get arrested.

I was in a local retail store parking lot today when an illegal Mexican male backed into my car and damaged my vehicle. He tried to drive off, and I had to chase him down to get him to stop.

Once the police arrived and asked him for his license, he had one, but it was expired, and the tags on his car were two years out of date.

He had no insurance, and he did not have a green card and was let go with no questions asked.

The police officer stated, "That's why you have insurance. Give the police report to them and pay your deductible and everything will be fine."

First of all, if that had been anyone else, we would have gone to jail as it is illegal to drive without insurance.

He is not supposed to be in the United States in the first place and nothing happens to him.

This really makes me upset. I don't understand why we have illegals over in the U.S., and they cause damage to the economy and everything else, and nothing is done about it.

I don't know if this will work--but perhaps a lawsuit against the police for failure to perform their duty. The man who struck you had no insurance , no license. The officer's comment:"The police officer stated, "That's why you have insurance. Give the police report to them and pay your deductible and everything will be fine." in my limited knowledge is incorrect and he is granting the right to the immigrant to have you apy the deductible and the insurance company to pay the difference , ultimately requiring a rise in rate that all other subscribers must pay. What a great disservive this policeman has done. He should not be allowed to hold a badge.

This is something that we should really be addressing. The fact that illegal aliens can drive on our roads without drivers licenses, insurance, proof of identity, auto registration, expired tags is not acceptable. It is an encounter that every law enforcement agency should be using to detain, identify and remove illegal aliens.

In Cleveland, TN (Bradley County), an admitted illegal alien selling food out of the back of their car without any business license, any health permit, any drivers license, any insurance, to a group of workers on a shopping center was not cited, nor were any actions taken against them. However, the citizen who reported this activity was threatened with harassment charges for reporting and locating the individual and the City of Cleveland,TN Police told the illegal alien to go to the courthouse to receive a business license and that they would also need a health permit. The City of Cleveland Police said that the illegal alien was trying to do things "right," and that the citizen who reported them was interfering in their ability to get their license and permit. :roll: Isn't that aiding and abetting big time? Let them run wild on the streets, no licenses needed and don't you dare say anything against them. Can you operate a business without a license legally? Can you drive a car legally without a license, etc? Something is seriously wrong.

The citizen reported the officers for dereliction of duty in not citing, and then assisting the illegal alien. Then the threat of harassment charges followed.
