In a minimum of 500 words, answer the following questions. What do you believe are the social, economic and political impacts that illegal immigration is having on society? What do you see as law enforcement’s role? If an illegal immigrant commits a crime, do you believe that he/she should receive and be protected by the Constitutional rights granted to American citizens? In other words, should an illegal immigrant who is accused and charged with a serious offense, such as rape or murder, be afforded all the rights and protections (e.g., Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment protections) that an American citizen has when he/she is accused and charged with a criminal offense? Or does the fact that the individual offender has already committed a crime by simply being an “illegal” immigrant indicate that he/she is not entitled to the protections that should only be afforded to American citizens? Explain your reasoning.
