Arguments against involving local law enforcement in immigration laws: When you involve local and state police, you hinder public safety. Victims won't come forward. There will be widespread racial profiling. Often local police are against mandated enforcement as it stretches their resources thin. They can't enforce criminal laws if they have to spend time enforcing federal civil immigration laws. Oregon actually has a state law BANNING local law enforcement of immigration law. NILC's website has information about state and local laws that are out there.
