Obama's Homeland Security seems anything but. They're restricting the ability of local police to enforce Federal law. Let's hear that again - the police are restricted from enforcing the law. The feds want police to stop police from arresting folks for what they call "minor infractions." What's so minor about being in a country illegally? That'll get you arrested anywhere in the world. Unless that "anywhere" happens to be in the US, and the arrestee happens to be Hispanic.
Talk about racial profiling!
New Curbs Set on Arrests of Illegal Immigrants - WSJ.com:
"The new guidelines sharply reduce the ability of local law enforcement to arrest and screen suspected illegal immigrants. They are intended to prevent sheriff and police departments from arresting people 'for minor offenses as a guise to initiate removal proceedings,' according to Homeland Security. The program will instead focus on more serious criminals."
