After reading this forum for quite some time now it is apparent that folks are exceedingly angry about our IA problem but don't know what to do about it. Murder, burglary, grand theft, document fraud, theft, etc. etc. The list is endless.

At the root of this is a single, simple issue. Has a crime been committed, ie; is one in this country illegally?

How many times have many of us seen someone that we KNOW is here illegally and wanted to do something about it?

Why can't citizens make a Citizens Arrest?

Citizens arrest can supposedly be enacted when a citizen observes an illegal act, be it state or federal. Is this a myth? Is it something that can be practically done? How can we put more power into the hands of ordinary citizens? There has to be something that we can do! Are there any attorneys on this forum that can advise?
