I. INTRODUCTION
Whether or not state and local police agencies should enforce
federal immigration laws has become a hot-button issue at the
federal, state, and local levels of government. In 2003 the
Administration overturned a Department of Justice legal opinion
and stated that the police have the “inherent authority” to enforce all federal
immigration laws and began to enter the names of immigration violators into a
national criminal database. This policy is being challenged in the courts.
In the U.S. Congress, Members have had some success in passing federal
legislation mandating immigration enforcement by state and local police.
While the “CLEAR Act” in the House and the “Homeland Security
Enhancement Act (HSEA)” in the Senate – bills mandating state and local
police to enforce immigration laws and giving them additional tools to do so
– did not pass as stand-alone bills, elements have been passed as
amendments to other pieces of legislation. Most recently, the “Border
Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005” (H.R.
4437 or the “Sensenbrenner bill”) passed by the House in December 2005
includes the “CLEAR Act” provisions.
