I want you to imagine what would happen to you if:
- You were pulled over for numerous traffic violations.
- You didn’t have a driver’s license.
- You didn’t have insurance on your car.
- You had a blood alcohol level of .32%.
Think you would have ended up in County?
Some cops in Wayne County say if you are an illegal alien, you get handled with kid gloves:
According to several police officers who wish to remain anonymous, it has become an unwritten policy of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office to not report illegal aliens to the U.S. Border Patrol when they are taken into custody.
On April 27th of this year, Juan Casarubia-Rendon, age 24, was stopped by Wayne County Sheriff’s Deputies for numerous traffic violations. He was found to be highly intoxicated, with a blood alcohol level of .32%, four times the State threshold for vehicle operation. Juan had no license and no vehicle insurance, something that would have normally called for an arraignment for any other driver.
As is the policy with most area police agencies, the U. S. Border Patrol would have been notified, appeared and placed a “detainer†on Casarubia-Rendon. As soon as he would have been released from jail, or his obligations for his crime under the law, the U.S. Border Patrol would have taken custody of Juan and the process of giving him his legal options, including, but not limited to deportation back to Mexico.
According to police sources, bowing to pressures from area land owners, Mexican migrant workers are being cut breaks by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office. In the case of Casarubia-Rendon, with a .32% body alcohol level, standard procedure would have called for him to be checked out at a hospital to avoid liability if he should suffer any health concerns while in custody by police.
With no license, no insurance, Driving While Intoxicated and being an illegal entrant, every police agency contacted in Wayne County stated Casarubia-Rendon would have been arraigned and remanded to jail.
On April 27th, Juan Casarubia-Rendon was not arraigned. He was issued appearance tickets for Sodus Town Court and driven home by deputies.
In June, he was pulled over again. He was again found to be drunk, with a blood alcohol level of .18%. This time the Border Patrol was called.
Of course there are lawsuits claiming racial profiling. But that is hard to believe considered the way this was handled. If they were going to go out looking for Mexicans to hassle and deport, you think they would take the drunk ones home? Neither do I.
The general idea here is that the illegal immigrants are needed in the area to do the jobs that no American wants to do. I wonder if it isn’t more about the illegals doing those jobs at less than minimum wage.
