Hi Michael, Most perceptive, I am indeed. Turning into a screaming liberal religious righter in my old age. I think the police should ask for "papers", as it is being put, and respond according to the papers they are given, if any. If the papers are valid, no problemo, as the detainee would understand it. Profiling? By all means, irresponsible not to profile. If the papers are bogus or there are no papers then the person should be returned to his/her country of origin. If he/she is ill he/she should be stabilized and returned to a medical facility in his/her country of origin. En route to wherever the detainees should be given reasonable food, drink, clothing as needed and be made comfortable in the transit vehicle - blankets, pillows or whatever is reasonable and humane. Not only that, citizen homeless and insane need to be sheltered. Our response to the homeless and the insane need not be perfect, Geraldo Rivera notwithstanding, but it must be reasonable given our resources. My position is too left for the right, and too right for the left. Too bad. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
