LIberals protect drug dealers and give them a flight home.

I am saying that if a local cop arrests someone that they KNOW is here illegally, or if they KNOW that a foreign citizen is committing a felony, then they should abide by the federal regs and arrest that person, not just send them home with a free ticket.

Total the cost for involving that person in the criminal justice system and I think you'd find the plane ticket is a bargain. Are you going to pick up all the downstream costs?

Guzman, who is mentally disabled, was missing for nearly three months as his family looked for him in the shelters, jails and morgues of towns in Tijuana and neighboring cities. During that time, he rummaged for food in garbage cans, washed himself in rivers and walked as far south as Ensenada -- more than 60 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the lawsuit.

Guzman tried to return to the United States several times, but was turned away. He was found near the Calexico border crossing in August and reunited with his family.

The lawsuit claims a sheriff's custodial assistant interviewed Guzman "solely on the basis of his perceived race, ethnicity and national origin." Since 2005, the Sheriff's Department has identified inmates who were eligible for deportation and passed along the information to ICE.

After Guzman was transferred into federal custody, the lawsuit alleges, he was coerced to sign a form written in Spanish that waived his legal rights to a deportation hearing and stated that he was a Mexican citizen.
