No. It is too KGB/everyone reporting on everyone > to me. Let's see how this works with other crimes: If the dog catcher is told by me that I id nto report a large amount of my income on my income taxes, is it OK for him to report it? If the dog catcher is told by me that I embezzled millions of dollars from my company, is it OK for him to report it? If the dog catcher is told by me that I am growing poppy plants in my basement for my own personal heroine use, is it OK for him to report it? If the dog catcher is told by me that I regularly beat my kids to keep them in line, is it OK for him to report it? If the dog catcher is told by me that I killed a person, is it OK for him to report it? In New Jersey (and I imagine other states) many people (teachers, nurses, doctors, EMS workers, social workers, etc) are required required, by law, to report SUSPECTED child abuse. Once reported, someone from the state or local child services office investigates the incident. Would the same not be true for immigration status, or do people really envision the dog catcher rounding up illegal immigrants and bringing them to jail themselves? -- Scott Stroz --------------- You can make things happen, you can watch things happen or you can wonder what the f*&k happened. - Cpt.
