Mexican Police to patrol NYC?

[MorningGlory]

I'm going to surmise that, since anyone has minimal police powers (eg. citizen's arrest) the Mexican police will surveill and/or hold "perps" (for NYPD) who they find harrassing/killing/etc other Mexican nationals, but that they don't have authorities such as breaking into homes of suspects or being able to obtain warrants unless through the regular NYPD channels. If this is the case, I see no problem with Mexico using their own resources in the same way a US citizen hires a bodyguard or private security firm.

Paging the Second Amendment. Second Amendment, please report to New York. Also, the right of detention is only for exercise by CITIZENS, which these people are NOT. They absolutely NO authority here, not as police, not as citizens.

This is, if true, nothing more than an attempt to implement Tenet #12 of the HUmanist Manifesto 2 which reads in full as follows:

TWELFTH: We deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds. We have reached a turning point in human history where the best option is to transcend the limits of national sovereignty and to move toward the building of a world community in which all sectors of the human family can participate. Thus we look to the development of a system of world law and a world order based upon transnational federal government. This would appreciate cultural pluralism and diversity. It would not exclude pride in national origins and accomplishments nor the handling of regional problems on a regional basis. Human progress, however, can no longer be achieved by focusing on one section of the world, Western or Eastern, developed or underdeveloped. For the first time in human history, no part of humankind can be isolated from any other. Each person's future is in some way linked to all. We thus reaffirm a commitment to the building of world community, at the same time recognizing that this commits us to some hard choices.

C'mon. Everybody has some rights in this country. Even if you're "just visiting". And, truly I don't mean to be contentious, but what has the right to keep and bear arms have to do with this situation? Should NYC start licensing firearms willy-nilly so that people can form militia groups? I know that illegals are a huge problem for this country, but the solution is at the borders, not on city streets.

If the police power of a foreign national is given authority in an AMERICAN city, it becomes a Second Amendment issue.

Regarding the licensing of firearms, NYC has no right to restrict the Second Amendment. Intelligent Americans everywhere should be armed to protect themselves against the depradations of wicked citizens and illegal aliens alike. Our forefathers would have stood for this for about as long as it took to gather the militia. Then they would've given a lead lesson in the Constitution that such people would never forget. It's about time the American people stood up for themselves.

You're right about that. If this is allowed to go forth I suggest rioting in the streets. I'm sick of our wimpy government letting Mexico do whatever. Why? Are they important to us in ANY way? I'm so mad my hair is starting to frizz from all the steam. I don't know what I'm going to do but this is simply the last straw. Remember, in order to come in, they have to be issued visas. Unlike the 12 million other illegals that are here. I simply can't stand any more......

Keep your powder dry boys, I think the bubble is soon going to break.

Write to your representatives. Send signed petitions to the White House. Participate in protests in the streets. But this talk of militias and rioting in the streets greatly saddens me. It is NOT Christian. The majority of Mexicans are Catholic. They love the same God we do. How can we, as good Christians, ignore that and feel so much hatred towards them? They often live in near-primitive conditions and know there is opportunity in this country. They're not terrorists. Our government is doing a lousy job of controlling immigration, and for all I know it's because of some weird covert plan on their part. But let's try to keep some charity in our hearts.

Well THIS Christian doesn't hate them at all. I have many Hispanic friends, co-workers and even some of my cousins are Mexican descent. My rage is only toward the idea of allowing a POLICE FORCE from another country (and I don't care if it's Denmark or Uganda even) to come into the U.S. and do ANYTHING. Just....no. There is no way to justify it and it's in violation of American law.

First, most of them are probably here illegally and are bankrupting our country. Secondly, why do you think that God confused the languages and separated the people? We are all equal in the eyes of God, but we don't owe foreigners anything. Let alone criminals and their corrupt governments and police forces. We are having enough problems all by ourselves.

Absolutely! And one of our biggest problems (going back twenty years or so now) is the fact that our government is collectively and completely insane! Note that many of the same people who were in Congress in 1990 are STILL in Congress. Therein lies the problem; New York City is simply following the path set by our esteemed incompetents in the legislative branch. House (and Senate) cleaning time is on the horizon now. Let's not waste the opportunity.
