Jamiel’s Law vs. LAPD Special Order 40

The moonbat mecca south of San Fransicko, aka L.A., has had a policy for years in line with their status as a criminal alien sanctuary city: Special Order 40.  In short, it’s an LAPD directive not to inquire about anyone’s immigration status when responding to a call, working a crime scene, and even booking a suspect.  Well, Special Order 40 has had tragic, yet predictable, consequences.  Just ask the family and friends of Jamiel Shaw, gunned down by a criminal alien gangbanger.

Enter Jamiel’s Law.  It’s an effort that’s rife with a modicum of common sense, which is why the pro-open borders crowd (to which a former friend of mine belongs) opposes it.  Basically, it requires law enforcement officials to check into the immigration status of gangbangers, regardless of whether they’ve already commited another crime (in addition to the violation of federal immigration law).  Supporters of Special Order 40 are stumbling overthemselves now saying that their Order wasn’t intended to protect gang members, but when your city announces to the world that criminals are welcome there, the consequences should come as no surprise.

Personally, I don’t think Jamiel’s Law goes nearly far enough, but it’s a start.  So unless open borders advocates like my former friends want to call Jamiel’s family members “quacking bigots” and tell them that a girl needs her cheap strawberries, I suggest they get out of the way and let normal America handle this problem like the grown-ups we are.
