I know we can debate warrants and such, but that's not the point here. It seems like people are continually doing an end around, doing anything to help illegals and ensure they get whatever they want and need and to make sure they get to stay without any type of intervention from authorities/police. Obama might as well give amnesty to every single illegal in the country. He also might as well just repeal all immigration laws and let everyone and anyone enter. No one wants to uphold laws and no one wants responsibility. It always starts out with little things and discussion of "rights", and now we're at a point where the damn illegals are getting treated better than citizens. Getting more help than citizens in need. Getting more freebies.
Want another solution? Tell EVERYONE who is illegal, that MAY get amnesty - that if they choose this option, it comes with a price tag of $10,000. They will be legal, get SS numbers and all they need. But like anyone else in debt, they will be tracked accordingly and have funds deducted until they are paid in full. If they don't want this option, they must go to their home country and return legally. But NO, no way they want to bring any hardship towards criminals. But if they followed the law, option B would be their ONLY choice.
This is getting disgusting and out of hand. Eventually we'll have more laws and changes out there helping illegals than we do helping Americans in need.
And read the bold portion. If a mistake, and this guy was an American citizen, then his story has nothing to do with this change. If he is an illegal immigrant - then OF COURSE he doesn't have a record, he's an active criminal that these fuckers don't want to give a record and actually prosecute!!

Mayor Bill de Blasio signed legislation to sharply limit the city’s cooperation with detainers issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement—and to boot that federal agency from Rikers Island.
“What these bills do is they protect the rights of undocumented immigrants, of visa holders, and legal permanent residents alike, all of whom have suffered under the previous approach, and ultimately prevent families from being torn apart,” Mr. de Blasio said at a Queens press conference.
ICE issues detainers to local law enforcement agencies—like the NYPD or Department of Correction—asking them to hold an individual even after his or her cases have been resolved, often without a warrant. The detainers allow the person to be picked up by federal immigration authorities, who often hold the person for months before initiating deportation proceedings.
The new laws being signed today will only allow the NYPD or Corrections to honor a detainer if it comes with a federal warrant—and even then, only if the person in question has been convicted of a violent or serious felony in the last five years, or is a possible match on the terrorist watch list.
While some opposed to the legislation have argued it will compromise safety, Mr. de Blasio and advocates have sought to argue the opposite: undocumented immigrants will be more likely to approach police for help or with tips if they do not fear deportation, they’ve said.
“When people understand in all cases police are here to protect, and will not be part of deporting, it will encourage people to come forward,” Mr. de Blasio said.
To illustrate the detainer policy—which can be something of a wonky legal matter—Mr. de Blasio told the story of a man named Carlos Rodriguez, a Dominican immigrant who he said was arrested for trespassing in a building near his home. Mr. Rodriguez was simply visiting a friend and the charges were promptly dropped.
“He wasn’t released, because the city at that time honored ICE’s detainer request and held him. There was no warrant for Carlos. He had no criminal record. He had done nothing wrong. But he was being held,” Mr. de Blasio said.
